Remove footer line with return to top and copyright – Balance

[mariafernandez]

Is there a simple way of removing the line:

RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE       COPYRIGHT © 2012 · BALANCE THEME ON GENESIS FRAMEWORK · WORDPRESS · LOG IN

from the Balance theme?

You can use the Genesis Simple Edits plugin to edit the footer or add this in your functions.php file to remove the footer completely.

//***Remove The Footer**/
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5);
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer');
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15);

Yes, I've come across that in many posts, but you need to remove the <p> ... </p>:

/** Customize the entire footer */
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'custom_footer' );
function custom_footer() {
    ?>

    <?php
}

What you need to put on your functions.php is:

/** Customize the entire footer */
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'custom_footer' );
function custom_footer() {
    ?>
    <?php
}

I've posted this in case others want to remove that line too.

Brian, thanks. The Simple Edits plugin did the trick, and I was also able to remove the post date. I've now restored the functions.php file to the original.

I wanted to do the same thing (remove the log in link) and was having trouble with the code (my fault). Didn't know the Simple Edits plug in existed, but it worked like a charm. Thanks!
