How to remove Footer thesis theme link and add your own site link in Thesis Theme

by Pascal on December 28, 2009

In this post I am going to show how to remove your footer thesis theme link, and put your own link in footer instead of thesis theme footer link. Why? Because everyone likes to put their own name rights in Footer. Here I am going to show two process in above heading, first one is how to remove footer thesis theme link, and second one is how to add your own link instead of thesis theme footer link.

Remember, you should have thesis developer edition to remove the attribute in footer. In personal edition, you should not remove it.

Watch the video tutorial for complete guidance to remove footer thesis theme link and add your own site link thesis theme.

If you can’t watch the video, you can follow the below steps also for guidance.

1. How to remove footer thesis theme link?

First you have to go your wordpress admin.
In wordpress admin, go to thesis option.
In thesis option, go to custom file editor, click Custom_funtion.php and paste below code or use FTP and put below code in launch.php. (Why I prefer FTP. At the time of accessing Custom_funtion.php via your wordpress admin, it is showing some warning message. That’s why I prefer FTP)

/* Remove footer link*/

remove_action('thesis_hook_footer', 'thesis_attribution');

2. How to add your own link instead of thesis theme footer link?

First you have to go your wordpress admin.
In wordpress admin, go to thesis option.
In thesis option, go to custom file editor, click Custom_funtion.php and paste below code or use FTP and put below code in launch.php. (Why I prefer FTP. At the time of accessing Custom_funtion.php via your wordpress admin, it is showing some warning message. That’s why I prefer FTP)

/* Add your own footer link*/

add_action('thesis_hook_footer', 'custom_footer');

function custom_footer() {
?>

hi I want to know how i can show a category all post (with there content) in single page in thesis theme
I am using thesis theme version 1.5.1 sp pls give me a solutuion.
thanks in advance.

Pascal December 31, 2009 at 7:34 PM: I am not sure how version 1.5.1 works. Upgrade your thesis so that you can use more and more thesis new resources available in online.

But if you go for thesis forum, you will get some help as there long time thesis users available.

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for the tutorials! I was able to remove the Thesis footer, that worked just fine, but when I tried to add a custom footer I ran into trouble. The link to my website in the footer directs to a 404 page, and not to my homepage. Any advice on how to fix this?

I would also like to add a link that directs to the appropriate copyright law. How would I do this?

The link should read “Lov om opphavsrett til åndsverk”, and you would click through to the following site: http://lovdata.no/cgi-wift/wiftldles?doc=/usr/www/lovdata/all/nl-19610512-002.html&dep=alle&kort+,+titt=%C5ndsverksloven&

I would really appreciate your help!

Best regards, Therese

Hi Therese. Thanks for following tutorials.

I am not sure why did you get 404 page. Do one thing. First post the links you required in footer and then inform me. I will look what is going wrong with links. Sure it should be some very basic problem. I am ready to help you.

Therese January 7, 2010 at 3:56 PM

Hi Pascal,

The problem is that I don´t know HOW to post a link in the footer. I´m new to Thesis and any type of code. Perhaps you can help?

Thanks,
Therese

Pascal January 7, 2010 at 6:45 PM: Hi Therese, Please contact us me through youtube channel I am ready to help you.

Thanks.

Thank you for this tutorial, but it works only if I modify the code in this way:

/*Add your own footer link*/

add_action(‘thesis_hook_footer’, ‘custom_footer’);

function custom_footer() {
?>
Copyright &copy 2009 <a href="”>Blog_name. All rights reserved.
<?php
}

I wrote the code onto custom_functions.php, is there a reason you put the code in launch.php?

Thank you very much

How can I remove the the footer from a prolet template? I tried adjusting your code, but without luck. Thanks!

Kris March 30, 2010 at 8:13 AM

how about the wordpress admin link in footer? how to delete this?

Suresh March 30, 2010 at 10:31 AM

hai,

by hacking the core you can remove wordpress admin link using ftp software.

1.login your ftp
2.Find this path
yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/thesis/lib/functions/footer.php
3. open the footer.php file. This file you have the function called thesis_admin_link() just disable thsi function by adding double slash in front. or remove this function.
example //thesis_admin_link();
4.save this file now your admin link will removed

Kris March 31, 2010 at 6:45 AM

hello,
There is no footer.php inside the functions folder.. I saw it in domainname.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_16/footer.php , but in footer.php , I cannot see the code thesis_admin_link().. pls reply asap, cause I need this.. thank u very much!

Suresh March 31, 2010 at 9:28 AM
