 * Is there a way to remove _Powered by WordPress and Leeway._ from footer?
    If 
   it’s not possible to remove both, at least one of the two links instead? my site
   is at wrestling-serbia.org

 * have you looked in your ‘footer.php’ file for those lines of code?

 * </nav>
 *  <div id=”footer-text”>
    <?php do_action(‘leeway_footer_text’); ?> </div>
 * there’s no exact text, only something like this mentioning footer text

 * i looked through the theme files. in a file called ‘template-tags.php’ there 
   is this chunk of code that creates that text.
 *     ```
       // Display Footer Text
       add_action( 'leeway_footer_text', 'leeway_display_footer_text' );
       function leeway_display_footer_text() { ?>
           <span class="credit-link">
             <?php printf( esc_html__( 'Powered by %1$s and %2$s.', 'leeway' ),
       '<a href="http://wordpress.org" title="WordPress">WordPress</a>',
       '<a href="http://themezee.com/themes/leeway/" title="Leeway WordPress Theme">Leeway</a>'
             ); ?>
           </span>
       <?php
       }
       ```
   
 * you can just change the ‘footer.php’ file if you want though. so change the code
   in the footer from
 *     ```
       <div id="footer-text">
           <?php do_action('leeway_footer_text'); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * to something like
 *     ```
       <div id="footer-text">
           <?php echo '&copy; SOME NAME' date("Y") ?>
       </div>
       ```

 * I changed with the exact text you posted, updated the file and checked the site:
   there’s no footer at all.
    O.o Is there any other way?

 *     ```
       <div id="footer-text">
           <?php echo '&copy; SOME NAME' date("Y"); ?>
       </div>

 * I’m replacing just one line
    <?php do_action(‘leeway_footer_text’); ?> with <?
   php echo ‘© SOME NAME’ date(“Y”); ?>
 * Site is on [http://wrestling-serbia.org/](http://wrestling-serbia.org/)

 * theres something else missing. im so sorry. im used to using a code editor that
   is colored a certain way. its harder here. try this
 *     ```
       <div id="footer-text">
           <?php echo '© SOME NAME' . date("Y"); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * and you can change that line of code to whatever you want. thats just a standard
   copyright and date (year)
