Can I remove the footer 'Theme: Photographer by Organic Themes'
-
Hello. Can I remove the footer ‘Theme: Photographer by Organic Themes’ at the base of my site? Would I need to upgrade to Premium in order to do so, or do I need to move my site across to WordPress.org? If the latter is the case, would I need to build the site from scratch, or is their a quick fix? Many thanks.

Hi,
The footer credit is required to be displayed according to our terms of service:
http://en.wordpress.com/tos/Note that even sites hosted through our VIP program, such as the TED blog, display a credit to WordPress.com in the footer.
(See the bottom of http://blog.ted.com/ for an example)If you decide to move to a self-hosted site, this blog will guide you through that process:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
As we only support blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new blog–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
If youd like assistance moving your WordPress.com blog to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if its right for you:

I know that is a lot of info, but does that all make sense? If not, please feel to ask any questions.

Hi Rootjosh,
Thanks for getting back to me and clarifying that. I assumed as much, but then came across the example site http://squeegeeprints.com/ and saw that the footer was clear of any reference to wordpress.com etc.
Is this not possible?
-
It is something that is technically possible with Custom CSS. However, it is not allowed and can cause your site to be suspended if it is noticed.

Ok, didn’t intend on getting anyone in strife here! Could be an idea to set up a ‘buy out’ option as there seems to be a lot of members who want to remove the footer….any plans?
-
There are no plans that I am aware of as far as offering a “no footer” upgrade.
However, I would encourage you to make a post suggesting it on our ideas/suggestions area of the WordPress.com support forums.

The forums are monitored and it does make a difference to post there.
