I am working on a child theme based on a free wordpress theme. On the original theme, at the bottom, two credit lines are shown. I want to edit or remove these lines but have not been able to. I tried at first to write on the style.css file .site-info { display:none; } , but it did't work out. I then went to the footer.php files and copied them on my child theme. The original theme has two footer.php files, one of them in a folder called inc-->structure-->footer.php I played around with both files but nothing seemed to work. On the second footer.php file I tried to erase completely the if ( ! function_exists( 'kiyoshi_credit' ) ) function but my webpage still shows the credit line. It seems like it is still grabbing it from the original theme and not my child theme. Any ideas? I show you all the code on my theme, hopefully you can help me out.
The first footer.php file looks something like this:
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying the footer.
*
* Contains the closing of the #content div and all content after.
*
* @link https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-files/#template-partials
*
* @package kiyoshi
*/
?>
</div><!-- #content -->
<?php do_action( 'kiyoshi_footer_before' ); ?>
<footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
<?php
/**
* @hooked kiyoshi_footer_branding - 10
* @hooked kiyoshi_footer_widgets - 20
* @hooked kiyoshi_credit - 30
*/
do_action( 'kiyoshi_footer' ); ?>
</footer><!-- #colophon -->
<?php do_action( 'kiyoshi_footer_after' ); ?>
The second footer.php file, in the inc-->structure folder looks something like this:
<?php
/**
* Template functions used for the site footer.
*
* @package kiyoshi
*/
if ( ! function_exists( 'kiyoshi_footer_branding' ) ) {
/**
* Display the branding in footer
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function kiyoshi_footer_branding() {
?>
<div class="footer-branding">
<h3 class="site-title--footer"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h3>
<?php if ( '' != get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) { ?>
<p class="site-description--footer"><?php bloginfo('description' ); ?></p>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- .footer-branding -->
<?php
}
}
if ( ! function_exists( 'kiyoshi_footer_widgets' ) ) {
/**
* Display widgets in footer
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function kiyoshi_footer_widgets() {
?>
<div class="footer-widgets">
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-1' ) ) { ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'footer-1' ); ?>
<?php } ?>
</div><!-- .footer-widgets -->
<?php
}
}
if ( ! function_exists( 'kiyoshi_credit' ) ) {
/**
* Display the theme credit
* @since 1.0.0
*/
function kiyoshi_credit() {
?>
<div class="site-info">
<?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'kiyoshi' ), '<a href="https://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>' ); ?><br />
<?php printf( esc_html__( 'Theme %1$s by %2$s', 'kiyoshi' ), 'Kiyoshi', '<a href="http://felixdorner.de" rel="designer">Felix Dorner</a>' ); ?>
</div><!-- .site-info -->
<?php
}
}
