Easy and does what it says on the tin

At first I tried another plugin, but that did not work since the 2021 theme. This Plugin takes a totally different approach, it goes into the footer and takes out the text you specify.

It starts by creating a new menu option in the tools menu called Remove Footer Credit, there you will find a box where you can paste the text you want removed.

I tested it removing code and it worked, for example

    Designed with <a href="wordpress.org" rel="nofollow">WordPress</a>      

I guess some people would want to use their own URL and text.

The approach of this plugin is supersmart, other plugins needed to be modified by the author for each new template, this one allows the site developer manager to simply change the text that needs to be replaced.

Great to use on those free templates that plaster their name in the footer.
