How to Remove The Footer Copyright Text Of ColorMag WordPress Theme

If you are using ColorMag WordPress theme, the project structure of the theme has changed. So, making code-level changes, for example, to remove the footer copyright text, will require some amount of time to get through the project structure changes. This has made changing the footer copyright text different from the earlier versions.

In this post, I am going to share how you can change the footer copyright of the ColorMag WordPress theme in its latest version.

Let’s Start

Step 1:

Step 2:

In the WordPress dashboard, go to

Appearance → Theme Editor → inc → hooks → footer.php

The code you’ll have to tweak is given below. Based on your requirement, you can either remove the theme credential links or manipulate them to fulfil your requirements.

function colormag_footer_copyright() {

        $site_link = '<a href="' . esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ) . '" ><span>' . get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) . '</span></a>';

        $wp_link = '<a href="https://wordpress.org" target="_blank" title="' . esc_attr__( 'WordPress', 'colormag' ) . '"><span>' . esc_html__( 'WordPress', 'colormag' ) . '</span></a>';

        $tg_link = '<a href="https://themegrill.com/themes/colormag" target="_blank" title="' . esc_attr__( 'ThemeGrill', 'colormag' ) . '" rel="author"><span>' . esc_html__( 'ThemeGrill', 'colormag' ) . '</span></a>';

        $default_footer_value = sprintf( /* Translators: %1$s: Current year, %2$s: Site link */ esc_html__( 'Copyright &copy; %1$s %2$s. All rights reserved.', 'colormag' ), date( 'Y' ), $site_link ) . '<br>' . sprintf( /* Translators: %1$s: Theme name, %2$s: ThemeGrill site link */ esc_html__( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'colormag' ), 'ColorMag', $tg_link ) . ' ' . sprintf( /* Translators: %s: WordPress link */ esc_html__( 'Powered by %s.', 'colormag' ), $wp_link );

        $colormag_footer_copyright = '<div class="copyright">' . $default_footer_value . '</div>';

        echo $colormag_footer_copyright; // phpcs:ignore WordPress.XSS.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped

    }Code language: PHP (php)

In the earlier versions it used to be something like this: Appearance → Editor → inc → functions.php
