 * Hello Parvin950,
    In most of the theme the credits come from the footer.php file.
   1. Please navigate to wp-admin→Appearance→Edit 2. Now find the footer.php file
   from the right side of the screen and click on it. 3. Now the footer.php file
   should be loaded on your screen. Find the text you want to remove, erase it and
   save the file.
 * Now the text should be removed from all the page in your site.

 * This method may not be update-safe? It would be better if we could see the site.

 * You could call your web host, tell them what you did and if they’re a good company,
   the tech will help you restore footer.php from the most recent backup of your
   site.

 * You could download a fresh copy of TwentyFifteen to your hard drive and unpack
   it there, then you will have a fresh copy of footer.php which you can copy over
   the corrupted version using ftp or your host’s file manager software.
 * However, footer.php will be overwritten when you update your theme so you will
   lose any edits.
 * To remove the unwanted section, you could use this in your custom css:
 *     ```
       .site-info {display:none}
       ```
   
 * Your theme does not have a custom css feature, but you can use a plugin like 
   this one:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
 * Using the css means the change should not be affected by theme updates.

 * You guys are awesome!!
 * I applied the changes as you advised. The error is gone and I put custom CSS 
   as above in the CSS section of the page and won’t show it.
 * However I still see the display of the message on the products. Shop>Product 
   item…. Could you help me on that???

 * I have tried the plugin with WP 4.4 and it works fine. In the unlikely event 
   it doesn’t work, it can be deactivated and/or deleted. There are several other
   custom css plugins available on wordpress.org.

 * I would recommend you create a child theme, which you then can copy/paste the
   theme’s css style sheet over to it and make all the changes you wish to. With
   a child theme, updates won’t overwrite what you’ve done.
 * Try this:
 *     ```
       .site-info {
           display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Personally I don’t use a custom CSS plugin. Your child theme will cover that 
   once you create it and its CSS style sheet.
 * Also whether your web host does or does not do backups of your site, I would 
   suggest you make your own backups from your web host cPanel.

 * No you do not want to copy all of the theme’s CSS to the child’s. You just need
   to enqueue it in your functions. Don’t use import in the CSS as that is old practice.
