Footer - Child Theme

Activello
1

Hi -
For security reasons I want to hide that this is a WordPress site. So I want to edit the footer.

I have created a child theme and added this into functions.php

function custom_activello_footer_info() {
	global $activello_footer_info;
	printf( esc_html__( 'Theme by %1$s Powered by %2$s', 'activello' ) , 'TEST TEST', '<a href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a>');
}

However, the footer doesn’t change. Can you help me with this? Is there a page that has information on what functions to use to override certain items?

Thanks!
John

Hi there

“For security reasons, I want to hide that this is a WordPress site” - you need to find the name of the function in the parent theme and then hook it.
You may also use simple custom css to hide the text

Hi - I’m new to WP but I have been programming in Drupal so I’m familiar with hooking. The function that does this is:

function activello_footer_info()

Can you tell me how to hook this function in WP?

CSS would only hide it visually and not from BOTS.
