## Description
#### Remove “Proudly powered by WordPress”
This plugin removes the “Proudly powered by WordPress” for those who want to use
the default theme for their website but don’t want everyone to know what they’ve
used to build it. Content can then be added in its place with a new “Site Info”
widget area on some themes.
For block themes, you do not need to use this plugin, just edit the footer template
in the Site Editor. We do have a plugin, [Options for Block Themes](https://wordpress.org/plugins/template-editor/),
that adds additional features and options to block themes.
This plugin works on all classic default WordPress themes (and child themes) including…
* Twenty Twenty One (widget area not implemented as it’s not suitable)
* Twenty Twenty (widget area not implemented as it’s not suitable)
* Twenty Nineteen (widget area not implemented as it’s not suitable)
* Twenty Seventeen
* Twenty Sixteen
* Twenty Fifteen
* Twenty Fourteen
* Twenty Thirteen
* Twenty Twelve
* Twenty Eleven
* Twenty Ten
… and now includes the following additional themes (and child themes) …
* Customizr (widget area not implemented when “Classical” theme style set)
* Envo Shopper
* GeneratePress
* GreenLeaf
* Masonic
* MinimalistBlogger (widget area not implemented)
* Neve (widget area not implemented)
* NewsCard (widget area not implemented)
* Newsup (widget area not implemented)
* OnePress
* Seedlet theme (widget area not implemented)
* Solid Construction
* Inspiro theme
* Snaps (widget area not implemented)
* Tonal
* Travelbee
**Let us know if you want to add compatibility for your theme!**
## Installation
Easily remove the WordPress credit on the default WordPress theme …
1) Install Remove “Powered by WordPress” automatically or by uploading the ZIP file.
2) Activate the plugin through the “Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3) Turn off the
plugin by deactivating it or through “Theme Options” menu in the Theme Customizer.
4) Optionally add content by dragging a widget (eg Text widget) into the new “Site
Info” widget area (Twenty Nineteen and Twenty Twenty not compatible with this feature)

Doesn’t support past twentytwentyone, so none of the default WordPress themes are
supported.

### [supports only handpicked themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/supports-only-handpicked-themes/)
[supervisitor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/supervisitor/) 2 сар 6, 2023 1 reply
the plugin does not seem to suppress the html block …
in general… somehow only special strings… therefore unfortunately not universal…
that can others better
