 * Hi:
 * I am using the theme MT white 3.2.7 and I would like to remove the photographs
   and the Meta links in the footer. Is that possible and if so how can I do it?
 * Thanks,
 * editornen

 * I downloaded the theme to have a look. To remove the meta links, comment out 
   both instances of this line by adding two slashes in front of it, as follows:
 *     ```
       <?php // wp_meta();?>
       ```
   
 * See lines 27 & 48 in footer.php
 * I’m not sure what you mean by photographs in the footer – I don’t see any images
   in the theme demo footer.

 * Check my website to see the photographs…[http://newenglandnostalgia.com/](http://newenglandnostalgia.com/).
   
   I did not put them there.

 * Find this section in your CSS and comment out the background image as follows
   to hide it:
 *     ```
       #footerspan {
           padding: 10px 0 50px 0;
           margin: 0;
           /* background: transparent url(images/footer_r.jpg) no-repeat bottom right; */
   
       }
       ```

 * Remove lines 12-28 in footer.php. Be sure to make a backup copy first.

 * Thanks!
 * Could you take it out and I’ll copy and paste. Makes me nervous.

 * I had to remove the code [per forum policy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)(
   you can use a [pastebin](http://pastebin.com/) in future)
 * Remove the lines **between and including:**
 *     ```
       <h3><?php _e('Meta', 'mt-white');?></h3>
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```

       </li>
       <?php wp_meta();?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * As I said, be sure to make a backup copy of your file before editing it – then
   you can restore it if anything goes wrong. If you put the code into a Pastebin(
   link above) you’ll see the line numbers and it might be clearer.

 * I made a pastebin for you: [http://pastebin.com/tcRg4Es1](http://pastebin.com/tcRg4Es1)
 * Removing lines 12-28 should do it. Lines 44-48 also reference credits and meta
   but I don’t think they’re in effect in your setup. You can experiment and see.
   As I said before, just **back up the file first.** 🙂
