Simple Wordpress Question regarding Footer Link
-
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.
[Update]
Finally at a real computer
Snippets are here: http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer/#custom-footer
Hope this solves your problem!

The images below are what I see in the "editor"... I don't see the tech-advocates url anywhere...

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?
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.

International SEO | Question about Hreflang
Hi, I have an International SEO question and would like to get some help from Moz forum: Our company has a Taiwan office for a few years already, but never had any Traditional Chinese (lang code: ZH-TW) webpage publihsed on our site: https://www.abc.com. The regional team recently has built a 50 page ZH-TW microsite based on translations from select pages from abc.com. The site will have it's own navigation. Currently our CMS doesn't have a language directory to support ZH-TW (such as https://www.abc.com/zh-tw) If we do not add a directory, the pages would have to be published as ZH nodes (for Simplified CHINESE) with ZH language tags and canonicals. The only tag we can set for ZH-TW would be the Hreflang tag. Example:

WordPress and Redirects
I just converted my site to wordpress. Previously urls like www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g and www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html would go to the same page. Since using wordpress the first one will not work. I did not have redirects set up so was wondering if there is something I am forgetting to easily make it to where if someone types in both urls it will go to the same page.

Many errors from previous ecommerce site. Domain is now just a localized wordpress site.
Many errors from previous ecommerce site. Do I need to redirect every single page that no longer exists at this domain? loveyourcabinets.com used to be loveyourkitchenandbath.com but we have since changed course. We want loveyourkitchenandbath.com to be our local site on Long Island and NYC. Loveyourcabinets.com will be an ecommerce project that I'll be revamping in the coming months. I think Moz as well as Google still has all of the old ecommerce pages indexed. And of course, Moz is shooting me a bunch of error all regarding pages from the ecommerce site that used to be on loveyourkitchenandbath.com. Any thoughts? Commentary? Thx

Site-wide footer links or single "website credits" page?
I see that you have already answered this question before back in 2007 (http://www.seomoz.org/qa/view/2163), but wanted to ask your current opinion on the same question: Should I add a site-wide footer link to my client websites pointing to my website, or should I create a "website credits" page on my clients site, add this to the footer and then link from within this page out to my website?
