 * two ways
    1) with css – create a selector to target the element with a rule ‘
   display:none;’ – I’d use FireBug in FireFox to find the element 2) edit the theme
   and remove the code creating it – probably in footer.php depending on the theme

 * Hi Jaxx.
 * Install Jetpack on your site, this will give you Custom CSS functions.
 * In Custom CSS just paste this:
 *     ```
       .site-footer a {
           color: #686758;
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * It will remove the footer, if you want to change the text then edit this text
   in the footer.php file with your preferred words / links:
 * (You will find the editor under appearance menu)
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://wordpress.org/', 'twentythirteen' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentythirteen' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentythirteen' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
       ```
   
 * I hope my reply helped you today.

 * [@jaxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaxx/): If you need to edit the theme,
   first make a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or you will
   loose the changes when the theme is updated. Use a child theme to add custom 
   CSS or remove php functions.
 * [@juggledad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juggledad/) and [@xyno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xyno/):
   By using your advice, Jaxx will loose the edits to the theme when twentythirteen
   is updated.

 * [@songdogtech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) – oh I realize
   that it will go away. I assumed the OP would ask ‘How do I do that’ and at that
   point would try to educate them.

 * Thank you for raising that [@songdogtech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/)
   I will be more careful in future 🙂
