When you first install a WordPress Theme by Elegant Themes, it will display the following credits in the footer. This happens in both the Divi Theme and Extra theme.

Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress

So how do you remove this from your WordPress website?

Removing “Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress” in Divi Theme

There is a very simple solution to this annoying issue, Elegant Theme may consider this as a feature and not as an issue.

To resolve this,

  1. Go to Divi > Theme Customizer > Footer > Bottom Bar
  2. You can disable the footer credits by checking the box disable footer credits or you can place your own footer credits to replace the standard Divi credit text.

Removing “Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress” in Extra Theme

Extra theme does not have an option within theme customizer. For Extra theme,

  1. Go to Extra > Theme Options > Integration
  2. Copy following code under “Add code to the < head > of your blog”
  3. Change “your website name” with your website or your name. 
<script>
jQuery(function($){
	$('#footer-info').html('&copy; your website name);
});
</script>

Hope this will help you.
