Want to remove “Powered by WordPress” from the default Twenty Twenty-One theme? or maybe you use a different theme, either way I got you covered.

  2. So many tutorials out there that simply don't work or are so complicated to install…this one on the other hand was seamless and worked immediately. Thank you so much!

  3. Thank you! Is this something new–that the free WordPress theme does not let you easily remove the Powered by text? I installed the free Astra theme (and the 2021 theme) and neither one had the Footer option under Customize…
