How to Remove Proudly powered by WordPress

Written by

In the root folder of the theme that you’re using, find the footer.php file.

The path for this file might look like this:
wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentynineteen/footer.php

Open this file in your favorite text editor and remove this line:
printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s.', 'twentynineteen' ), 'WordPress' );
I would search for “proudly powered”.

Since it’s hard coded into the theme, there are no settings you can tweak from the admin GUI to make this go away.
