Hi Nikolina

Thanks for reaching out.
Please follow the steps below

1) Go to theme root folder ie wp-content/themes/colon
2) Go to inc-> hooks and open file footer.php with any text editor
3) Remove the text below line number 16

if(get_theme_mod('colon_en_footer_credits',true)) :
                                ?><span><?php esc_html_e(' | Theme by ','colon') ?><a href="<?php echo esc_url(COLON_THEME_AUTH); ?>" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><?php esc_html_e('Spiracle Themes','colon') ?></a></span>
                                <?php   
                            endif;

4) Save it

Hi,

I tried what you said but nothing happened, it’s still there? Thank you for the help!

Hi Nikolina,

Did you add your own copyright text?
Go to Appearance -> Customize -> Footer Settings and add the copyrights text and then check

Best Regards

It worked! Thank you very much!

Hi,

after some time it appeared again! Can I make the change permanent somehow? Don’t know why it’s visible again. Thank you

Hi Nikolina

You’ll have to repeat the steps again to remove the footer credit.
If you don’t want to lose any changes you should not update the theme.
Or go for the Pro version where you’ll have the option to remove it permanently.

Best Regards
