    Thanks,

    May I remove credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
    All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

    Question: Can you edit the footer without Custom Design upgrade?
    Answer: No.

    The answer could be concluded from reading the custom design section in the support docs.

    Can you add text to the footer to go with the required footer text?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes you can: you’re not allowed to remove or modify the text of the footer credits, but you can change their appearance (positioning, color, size etc) as well as add your own text to them – provided you have the upgrade. Without the upgrade, you can only use footer widgets.
