Removing Footer Information in WordPress Atahualpa Theme

I use the Atahualpa theme on several WordPress sites.  On a couple of occasions I have been asked to modify the footer so it only displays  the copyright information.  Here are the steps to remove the "Powered by WordPress -Atahualpa Theme by BytesFor All" out of the footer.
  • In WordPress Admin Click on Editor under Appearance.
  • In the Edit Themes Page select "Theme Functions"(functions.php) on the right side of the screen.
  • A little less than a quarter of the way down the functions.php code you will find:
function footer_output($footer_content) { $footer_content .= '
Powered by WordPress & the Atahualpa Theme by BytesForAll. Discuss on our WP Forum'; return $footer_content;

  • Change that entire section with:
function footer_output($footer_content) { return $footer_content;
  • Click Update File
Here are a couple of examples of the footer showing only the copyright information;

Viktor said...

Thanks a ton - this was really helpful!

The solution was as simple as it was useful. Merits a second 'Thank you'.

Funny-- I did just exactly what you said, but I still see the Wordpress/CSS/Atahualpa stuff. I have a new install since earlier this week-- do you think they've changed it since then?

I do appreciate Wordpress & Atahualpa but I don't want that on every page, it looks ugly and like a ad.

replacing that code has completely killed my website...
cant even get into the wp-admin

thanks

@wayno This procedure has been successfully used many times on many sites by many people. My guess is more code than necessary was removed.

What version of Wordpress and Atahualpa are you using? I am happy to test.

wade

I am using Atahualpa 3.4.6, WordPress 2.9.2

Not sure why this happened however site is back and all good.
I simply changed the content of the footer with something I am happy with.

very strange...

The post did come in handy anyway so thanks

Excellent info, so good I posted it on their own forums cus there were a slew of people asking about how to do it.

Chip Cain said...

This was a great help for me as well. I am developing a new website for the camera club and didn't want their add on every page. Once all else is completed I will be adding a page that list credits for the theme and all plugins used.

Thank you,
Chip

This post is a life saver. Have used it earlier. Googled my ass off this time till I found your blog! Thanks again :)

Thanks much for this info.

Tried this update and received the following error, and now there is no access to any page on the blog or admin console:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/h/e/a/healthstyles/html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa351/functions.php on line 774

Any suggestions?

Wade Draper said...

My guess would be you deleted too much or have a typo. If you have ftp access to your files, you an manually go into the file and change it back. I haven't seen that error before.

Nicholas Roubal said...

Fixed... Be sure that when you change the function and are copying that line of code to also include the closing bracket }.

Works great!

Wade Draper said...

Glad to hear you found the issue. Thanks for the heads up.

thanks

i did that on my site

and worked perfectly thanks a bunch really appreciated how to delete the footer link

This worked as described in Atahualpa 353. At first I killed the entire site because I was not careful when I copied the line and ended up having one statement twice in the code. I went in through my site file manager and re-edited the file outside of the WP inteface. Found and fixed the error and the site came back. As long as we are careful these instructions work brilliantly.

Deviled Eggs said...

Thank you, this worked perfectly!

Viktor said...

Thanks again for the post - this has worked for me a lot of times earlier.

However, not working with Atahualpa v3.6.1. Basically, it removes 'Powered by...' stuff only from the main page. Still displaying on the posts
