 * create a child theme using Orbisius Child Theme Creator plugin-then use theme
   file duplicator to copy the footer.php to your child theme,then use firefox inspector
   to determine the footer area you dont want,then visit wordpress admin your child
   theme editor–footer.php template tag ,just on the sidebar.click to open it.and
   delete the line and update

 * Add the above code to your **child theme** functions.php with an opening and 
   closing tag.

 * I found that any added code in my functions file caused a shut down of the dashboard
   and I had to back up from the previous days files, so be careful about adding
   code to functions.php file for registering footer or new widget areas. it would
   be a lot easier if Konstatin could create a footer widget in the next update.
   I haven’t found plugins for footers had any effect yet.

 * Hello,
 * Open this : /project/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/footer.php directory and change
   this content in footer.php file.

 * I changed mine to a simple line by just writing in the footer php parent file
   in the end, no harm done and it worked fine. Don’t delete anything other than
   the words, if you do for some strange reason javascript for the slideshows stop
   working.
