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;
