 * You can change it by chmodding all the files you want to edit to 666
 * by doing this you need to either SSH or FTP to the server, or even in cPanel 
   or DirectAdmin it has the ability also.

 * The problem is the following: I don’t see where it says: “powered” and so on,
   it’s just this code:
 * <?php
    /** * The template for displaying the footer. * * Contains the closing
   of the id=main div and all content * after. Calls sidebar-footer.php for bottom
   widgets. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/) Cryout 
   Creations * @subpackage parabola * [@since](https://wordpress.org/support/users/since/)
   parabola 0.5 */ ?> <div style=”clear:both;”></div> </div> <!– #forbottom –> </
   div><!– #main –>
 *  <footer id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>
    <div id=”colophon”>
 *  <?php get_sidebar( ‘footer’ );?>
 *  </div><!– #colophon –>
 *  <div id=”footer2″>
 *  <?php cryout_footer_hook(); ?>
 *  </div><!– #footer2 –>
 *  </footer><!– #footer –>
 * </div><!– #wrapper –>
 * <?php wp_footer(); ?>
 * </body>

 * Well, I thought that I could go to the cPanel in my domain but isn’t it easier
   to change if from here?
 * Thanks,I will try this out right now.

 * Could you link me to your webpage? And for the chmodding, I was thinking you 
   ment how do I edit the footer.php in the wordpress admin panel, that would need
   to be chmodded to 666.

 * Hi justbobbsap,
 * I suck at giving out help without a visual. So you know where the footer is, 
   but it sounds like you need a way to access and edit the file. Are you familiar
   with FTP (file transfer client)? I use filezilla to access my theme files to 
   make edit.
 * If I understand what you’re asking I think you need an FTP tool such as Filezilla.
   Its free to download.
 * I have to check some of sites just to be sure and hopefully I can walk you through
   it.

 * Well,I honestly don’t know what is chmodding? I guess it’s just changing the 
   code?
 * I don’t know what to look for in the footer.php. I mean, I want to change it,
   I want it to be like: “Designed by… (me)” and so on. And I don’t know what I 
   have to edit… Is it from the Editor (WP) or I should go to my cPanel? tnx !

 * Okay, so if you have access to a FTP client or anything to edit the file on the
   server,
 * go into the theme folder
 * **parabola\includes\**
 * Open up **theme-functions.php**
 * [http://gyazo.com/3eff6644cc762260c49f33722352f98c](http://gyazo.com/3eff6644cc762260c49f33722352f98c)
 * Look around **lines 305-311** find the line
 * <div style=”text-align:center;padding:5px 0 2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-
   size:11px;”>
 * and delete
 *     ```
       <div style="text-align:center;padding:5px 0 2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;">
       	<?php _e('Powered by','parabola')?> <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo 'http://www.cryoutcreations.eu';?>" title="<?php echo 'Parabola Theme by '.
       			'Cryout Creations';?>"><?php echo 'Paяabola' ?></a> & <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo esc_url('http://wordpress.org/' ); ?>"
       			title="<?php esc_attr_e('Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'parabola'); ?>"> <?php printf(' %s.', 'WordPress' ); ?>
       		</a>
       	</div>

 * —–
 * I know what is filezilla… but I didn’t know that I need access to the FTP stuff..
   I thought that I just have to go to the Editor > footer.php and change it and
   that’s it.
 * so,what do I have to look for in the FTP to change it to “Designed..by (me)” ?

 * UrbanMusicHQ found the answer for you! You’re good to go once you remove the 
   lines of code or place the text you want to appear in its place.

 * Also, this is NOT really suggested as it is a public free theme, you should rep
   the author who did make the theme for you to use at free of charge.
 * Note: If you want to place different text there, leave the
 * <div style=”text-align:center;padding:5px 0 2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-
   size:11px;”> </div>
 * or just delete it and copy that ^ code up there and then replace it with your
   site name and 2014 copyright

 * [@andrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew/) would you be able to even
   create a child theme file for that file theme-functions.php in the includes folder?
 * I have had trouble sometimes with the child theme not reading the “customized”
   files and locations.

 * If you’re sure there is no theme setting in the dashboard that allows you to 
   change this, then you can create a function in your Child Theme functions.php
   file to override it (and change it), e.g.:
 *     ```
       /**
        * Footer info
        */
       function parabola_child_site_info() {
       	$parabolas = parabola_get_theme_options();
       	foreach ($parabolas as $key => $value) { ${"$key"} = $value ; }	?>
       	<div style="text-align:center;padding:5px 0 2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;">
       	<?php _e('Powered by','parabola')?> <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo 'http://www.cryoutcreations.eu';?>" title="<?php echo 'Parabola Theme by '.
       			'Cryout Creations';?>"><?php echo 'Paяabola' ?></a>
       	</div><!-- #site-info -->
       	<?php
       } // parabola_site_info()
   
       add_action('cryout_footer_hook','parabola_child_site_info',12);
       ```

 * I understand that sentiment but the theme’s here are all free for editing per
   their GPL license and that removing of the links is fine.
 * I’m running out but when I come back I’ll look at how to do that safely via a
   child theme. If the author is doing it the way I think it’s being done then there’s
   a neat `functions.php` method in a child theme that works very well.
 * **Edit:** Ha! Which Andrew beat me to by a whole minute! Good job Andrew! 😉
