    My website is http://wbbjj.com

    I want to remove the part of the footer that says wordpress and simple catch. When I completely delete the footer section, the entire footer goes away and so does part of my header that contains plugin info.

    I know a little bit of html but can follow instructions can anyone help?

    here is my current CSS code in the footer section.

    <?php
    /**
    * The template for displaying the footer.
    *
    * @package Catch Themes
    * @subpackage Simple_Catch
    * @since Simple Catch 1.0
    */
    ?>
    <div id=”footer”>
    <div class=”layout-978″>
    <?php //Displaying footer logo ?>
    <div class=”col7 copyright no-margin-left”>
    <?php if( function_exists( ‘simplecatch_footerlogo’ ) ) :
    simplecatch_footerlogo();
    endif;
    ?><?php _e( ‘Copyright’, ‘simplecatch’ ); ?> © <?php echo date(“Y”); ?> <span><?php bloginfo(‘name’)?></span>. <?php _e( ‘All Rights Reserved.’, ‘simplecatch’ ); ?>
    </div><!– .col7 –>

    <?php do_action( ‘simplecatch_credits’ ); ?>

    </div><!– .layout-978 –>
    </div><!– #footer –>
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    You could hide it with some custom CSS. If your theme has a built-in custom CSS option, use it; otherwise, get a custom CSS plugin and put:

    #footer .powered-by {
display: none;
}

    is there some code I could add to just change the text to black to match the footer background?

    #footer .powered-by {
color: black;
}

#footer .powered-by a {
color: black;
}

#footer .powered-by a:hover {
color: black;
}

    Doing this would mean that the links would still be present on the page and you could still click on them if you knew where they were. Depending on your browser, your cursor might change when you hover over the links as well.

    im ok with that haha. Hate to sound dumb but where in that section of CSS that I included should I add this new code?

    The code you posted is PHP and HTML, not CSS, so you wouldn’t enter it anywhere in that code. Instead, you should get a custom CSS plugin (or use your theme’s built-in custom CSS option, if one exists) and enter the code I posted there.

    YOU COULD ALSO TRY THIS
    go to appearance option on your dashboard select on editor,
    locate the footer file,,
    care fully locate any line containing the text “Powered By: WordPress | Theme: Simple Catch “

    then delete so it appears ike this “”,nothing in between the quotes….

    That’s a bad idea, actually. If you directly edit the theme files, you’ll lose that change if the theme is later updated, to fix security issues or bugs or to add new features. The benefit of using a custom CSS plugin (or your theme’s built-in custom CSS option) is that you won’t lose those changes when you update the theme.
