Follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Connect to your website\u2019s FTP client.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to your WordPress theme folder, usually located in \/wp-content\/themes<\/li>\n<li>Locate the footer.php or copyright.php file in the theme folder.<\/li>\n<li>Open the footer.php or copyright.php file in a text editor.<\/li>\n<li>Search for the theme attribution code, which usually contains the theme name or a link back to the theme\u2019s website.<\/li>\n<li>Delete the theme attribution code or comment it out by adding two forward slashes (\/\/) before the code.<\/li>\n<li>Save your changes and refresh your website to confirm that the attribution has been removed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Install_a_Plugin\"><\/span>Method 3: Install a Plugin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>WordPress plugins offer a simple way of adding new functionality to a website.
