Simple Wordpress Question regarding Footer Link

[Atlanta-SMO]

I have a client with a site that has the company that built their website's link in the footer.  How can I remove this?  I am pretty proficient with Wordpress but I am drawing a blank.  The site is www.northatlantacleaning.com

Thanks and I do extend the courtesy of awarding 'Best Answer' and thumbs up etc to good responses.

It could be a footer widget.  If you go to the Appearance| Widgets section, you may a footer widget section--look in there for your code.  It may also be in the settings section of your theme's options--be sure to look through that section too.

In genesis framework you edit the footer in functions.php

You could Google something like "Studiopress footer code snippet" or check at studiopress.com in the menu under Ressources > Code Snippets.

Finally at a real computer

Jimmy, private message me with a screen grab of your footer.php file so i can see if i can find it.

I looked in the editor in the main theme and the child theme.  I used control f to search for it and didn't find their link.  Any other possibilities?

[Asher]

I don't see anything odd.  To me it looks to be located in the footer file.  Go appeance/editor/footer.php look for that snippet of code and delete.  It also looks to me to be the only bit of html in the footer.  Don't forget to update your file afterwards.

This is what I get when I highlight:

I don't see anything odd there...

the site is http://www.northatlantacleaning.com  if you can take a glance and see if you see anything odd??

Highlight the portion of the footer you want to remove, right click the highlighted portion and "inspect elements". This will tell you exactly what the code for that snippet is.  Hope that helps.

Is there any way to tell if it's encrypted before doing it?  From the website source?

[irvingw]

There is a slight chance that the footer link is encrypted and removing it will break the formatting of the theme. Just a heads up, if you see that happen you'll need to do a little bit of Googling and you will find the solution, it's only slightly tricky if you know programming.

[Asher]

Yes that is correct.  Also, when you remove it, don't forget to update the file, simple but people tend to forget.

When in Wordpress, click on "Appearance", "Editor", and you'll likely find "Footer" in the right column. I would guess that is where they included it.
