Custom Footer Text on WordPress Admin Pages

We love WordPress, but we don’t want clients to see “Thank you for creating with WordPress” at the bottom of the Worpress dashboard and admin pages. Instead, we can leave a nice little message down there for our clients.

The following function lets you write custom text for the footer. Replace line 5 with your own custom text.

// Replace WP footer with own custom text

function remove_footer_admin () {
echo '
Thank you for creating with YOURNAMEHERE.
';}
add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'remove_footer_admin'); 

If you prefer to just remove the footer text and not replace it with anything, use this instead:

// Remove WP footer text

function remove_footer_admin () {
echo '';}
add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'remove_footer_admin');
