Is there a way to relieve myself of the concrete5 advertizement at the bottom of my website? I know I might sound silly, but I'm almost done, totally new to web design !!!!

it depends what theme you are using,

if its one of the pre-installed themes copy /concrete/themes/<themename> to /themes and open /elements/footer.php

otherwise it is mostlikely in /packages/<pkgname>/themes/<themename>/elements/footer.php

this is if you want to keep your edits when you upgrade. it is probably a smart thing to do, but isn't required to work. but then you have to do it all over again when you upgrade, so it is easier to do.

went to do this & it was already in there?
I am ready to do the other stuff, waiting for a backup to save.
I want to make sure I will still be able to log in & edit my site after editing the footer.
You're the best.
I am about to upgrade too.
I hope i don't lose my theme.

you want to ftp to your site. you can either ftp or use the file manager your hosting service provides you. then you want to go to where the root of your concrete is - so it should be something like public_html/dir or just public_html. then you want to click on the concrete folder, and then on themes, and default. then click on the elements folder. in the elements folder you want to open up the file footer.php and delete in it the code i gave you above. then save the file, and you should be good to go.

Hey so if it is the default theme it will be in the /concrete/themes/<your chosen theme> directory.

From there you will want to access the /elements folder (keep in mind that this folder will be in your chosen theme i.e. plain yogurt).

Once there you will want to edit the footer.php file. Best thing to do is search for "concrete5" and remove the powered by concrete5.

Hope that helps.

Please don't use all caps,

in your ftp client, or web control panel file manager,

browse to /concrete/themes/ and copy /default to /themes,

so then it looks like

/themes/default

open the elements folder, open the footer.php file, find the line 12345j mentioned and delete it.
