Its worked!
It worked! Thank you very much!
Could you explain to me why it is necessary to use these lines:
”
add_action(‘init’,’remove_default_credits’);
function remove_default_credits(){
remove_action(‘spacious_footer_copyright’,’spacious_footer_copyright’);
}
”
Without these lines, the original text appears at the top followed by the custom text.
It removes the original copyright text.

Hi, with the help of your code, I was able to edit it and adjust it for Flash ThemeGrill copyright,
I will try it out this has been bothering me since I have a business website and it looks unprofessional will it work on flash by theme grill. ?
I have not tried it with other themes by Themegrill, it may not work for other themes. You have to make a child theme and have to edit yourself. If you feel any problem regarding this feel free to reply.
For Flash theme check https://sangams.com.np/remove-footer-credit-flash-theme-themegrill/
Hey, just want to thank you for the plugin! I tried the child theme route but was in a crunch to launch my client’s site. This really help me to add my own credentials on top of what ThemeGrill has. Really appreciate it!
Thanks for your reply. A new version of this plugin is available, which allows to edit footer credits from theme customizer.
Can you navigate me as to where I can edit the footer using your plugin?
Go to Dashboard >> Appearance >> Customize >> Footer Credit. There you will see a text box to edit the footer credits.
