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() {
?>

I am using thesis theme version 1.5.1 sp pls give me a solutuion.

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.
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
Hi Therese, Please contact us me through youtube channel I am ready to help you.

Would I use this method to create links in my footer?
Am planning on putting a serious of links in my footer. Is this is best method?
Thansk
hai lee,
you can use the same method for your series of links in footer, also you can style it according to your wish..
How can I remove the the footer from a prolet template? I tried adjusting your code, but without luck. Thanks!
how about the wordpress admin link in footer? how to delete this?
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
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!
hai,
The path is domainname.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_16/lib/html/footer.php. If you are ready to upgarde thesis 1.7 after the upgrade you will do it..
Thank u very much! ^_^
Keep up the good work & God Bless..
Thanks for your kind words.
Seems a little late.. but you can remove the link without hacking the core.
Just add the following into your custom_functions.php:
remove_action(‘thesis_hook_footer’,'thesis_admin_link’);
I really appreciate it.. thank you very much!
Kris and Dave,
Actually, there is an even easier way…
Go to the Design Options for Thesis theme, there is a box called Display Options, and inside of it there is a section called Administration. Uncheck the option called “Show admin link in footer” and there you go.
If we remove things on code that are options from the panel, then we are actually limiting the user and cutting the flexibility short. Using a theme like this requires us to be very tidy and careful when modifying it so we dont lose what it offers to the users which is the ability to modify much of it from the admin panel.
It’s a easiest tips to remove the footer link from Thesis.
tnx man……for doing this blog.
Hope to see here again.
hai shamim,
thanks.. we have more thesis tutorials at fourblogger youtube channel
By custom_functions do you mean the file named functions in the thesis folder. I have version 1.7? I was able to get this to work on one of sites however for some reason I can’t seem to get this to work on the one I am currently working on.

I have used this hack before and it worked just fine, but for some reason today it broke my blog. I get this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/shan/public_html/ThisIsATest/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/custom_functions.php on line 44
Even when I replace the launch.php or custom function files with fresh ones, the error persists. The only solution is to delete and reinstall thesis.
What did I do wrong?
Hi Shan, did you fix this? I have the same problem and I’m stuck.
Nope. I cannot get the footer to work for me. I have no idea why. And I have designed a couple of other Thesis blogs using the same technique and it worked but on this particular install it did not.
I am still stumped and would love to have my design credits in that blog.
Hi Pascal,
Thanks for this TUT.pretty convenient and easy way ^_^
Thesis theme can make life easy for bloggers. You never have to mess with the php scripts or HTML to insert your google webmaster verification code on the header of your blog again. The same goes with the footer codes.
Hi, I’m trying to revise the footer link via custom_functions.php but am just getting the following message:
Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.
Can you advise?
Damn, it’s cool tips and it works. Thanx a lot man….
