Footer Copyright Widget Settings

In Appearance, Widgets drag a Footer Copyright widget into the Credibility Footer Widget Area and then configure it with the Footer Menu and decide whether or not you want to display copyright, telephone number and address details.

Hiding Powered By WordPress

The Striker theme does not provide a hook or filter to hide the WordPress credit and hence neither does Footer Putter.

If you really want to remove the WordPress credit then you can remove line 16 of footer.php or if you just want to hide it for aesthetic reasons then you can do so by adding the following to the theme’s style.css file:

[css]
#colophon { display: none; }
[/css]
