i have been trying to figure out thesis for awhile now since i bought it. i landed on your site in a google search and its the only one yet that’s made clear common sense to someone who doesn’t know much about web design/scripts and codes, etc.

thanks for an awesome site and concise directions for everyday people!

I just followed these instructions and it worked perfectly to remove the “Get smart with the Thesis WordPress Theme from DIYthemes.” part of the footer. Another related question, the link to ‘WordPress Admin’ which links to wp-admin still remains in the footer. How can I get rid of that link as well? Sorry, I’m very new to this WordPress stuff. Thanks.

Thanks. This worked like a charm on my new blog with Thesis theme. I’ll be adding the copyright notice using your instructions from another post too.

I installed the code right from my admin section on my word press blog, It only took about 3 seconds and worked on the first try.

Thanks a lot, Love your site

I wonder if some of the problems are being caused by the users ADDING the

At the top of the custom_functions.php file, you should already see

The first two lines of the custom_functions.php file would then read:
remove_action(‘thesis_hook_footer’, ‘thesis_attribution’);

I hope this helps.

This is a bit off topic, but – as I understand it, the Thesis developers don’t have any legal basis to require people who purchased the non-developer version to leave the attribution link in (because of the way wordpress itself is licensed). In fact, i’ts pretty arrogant of them to claim they can.

Normally I’d say that ethically, you’d be better off leaving the footer link in to help support the developers. In this case, I say remove it.
