Storefront Theme: Edit or Remove Footer Credits

by Tutor Aspire

The Storefront theme developed by WooCommerce/Automattic comes with default footer credits content: “Built with Storefront & WooCommerce | Privacy Policy | Copyright Website 2020“.

Thankfully, this default content comes with “hooks”, so it’s possible to override such behavior without touching core files or duplicating templates. So, here are a few snippets you can use to edit or remove the Storefront theme copyright content. Enjoy!

On top you can see the default Storefront theme copyright content. It features a first line with the website name, and a second line that links to woocommerce.com. In the red rectangle you see the HTML that is generating such content.
