How to remove the footer credit for news pro theme

The News Pro theme!

To remove the footer credit in the News Pro theme, you can try the following methods:

Method 1: Using the Theme Options

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Go to Appearance > Theme Options.
  3. Scroll down to the Footer section.
  4. Look for the Footer Credit option and toggle it to Off.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Method 2: Editing the Theme Files

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Go to Appearance > Editor.
  3. In the editor, navigate to the footer.php file (located in the news-pro theme directory).
  4. Find the following code: <p class="credit">Copyright &copy; <?php echo date('Y');?> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="<?php echo home_url();?>" rel="home">News Pro</a></p>
  5. Delete or comment out this code block to remove the footer credit.

Method 3: Using a Child Theme

If you're not comfortable editing the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override the footer.php file.

  1. Create a new folder in the wp-content/themes directory and name it (e.g., news-pro-child).
  2. Inside the child theme folder, create a new file called footer.php and add the following code: <?php // Do nothing?>
  3. This will effectively remove the footer credit.

Method 4: Using a Plugin

If you're not comfortable editing code, you can use a plugin like Theme Customizer or Custom CSS to remove the footer credit.

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Go to the plugin settings and add the following CSS code: .credit { display: none; }
  3. Save the changes.
