Removing Thesis Footer Text

by Simon on May 27, 2009

When I set up a WordPress site that uses the Thesis Theme, I want to remove the Thesis attribution and put my own in instead.  If you have purchased the developer’s edition of the Thesis theme for WordPress, you can use a Thesis hook to remove it.  The savvy developers at Thesis extended the WordPress hook system with a host of their own hooks  (documented at the rtfm section of the Thesis theme’s blog). This makes it simple to both add and remove html with the hooks. There is actually a simple one line statement that you can add to your custom_functions.php file to remove the attribution link.

remove_action('thesis_hook_footer', 'thesis_attribution');

You can use this method to remove other html in a similar way.

Neena, are you using Thesis developer edition? I believe you can only remove the attribution tag if you are using the developer edition.
