To remove this branding, there are several methods to follow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_The_Plugin_Route\"><\/span>Method 1: The Plugin Route<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest and most straightforward way of removing WordPress branding is through plugins.
