Trouble getting rid of "powered by…"

[DigitalC]

I'm using the Sixteen Nine theme and tried the simple edits plugin and also tried changing the functions file for modifying the footer but no matter what I do I can't get rid of "powered by genesis". I can add stuff, like copyright, but not get rid of that. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I also only have a local copy of the site so I'm hoping this is just a simple thing I'm overlooking.

Just tried it on my daughter's site. Comment out or otherwise nuke the following:

//* Customize the footer
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'sixteen_nine_custom_footer' );
function sixteen_nine_custom_footer( $output ) {

$output = sprintf( '<p>%s%s</p>', __( 'Powered by ', 'sixteen-nine' ), __( 'Genesis', 'sixteen-nine' ) );
return $output;

}

I just now commented it out, but you could also edit the'Powered By', and 'Genesis', to say something else.

Hope that helps!

Actually, you do want to edit that function. If you just get rid of it, it reverts to the default footer copy.

Now, it you really want there to be NOTHING there, you could remove the three add_action filters that precede the function to customize the copy, and just leave the remove_action filters that nuke the footers entirely.

Yes, I tried the first one and it plunked in the default! But then I used the Simple Edits plugin to get rid of the rest. Thanks to both of you!

You're welcome!
