  I’m planning to upgrade to premium. But I need to know if I can change the footer text that’s displayed by the theme. It says “BLOG AT WORDPRESS.COM. THE SUITS THEME.”

  I’m aware that it’s in wordpress ToS to display that and I have no problem with it except I need to change the text to
  “Site by WordPress.com. Designed by suites” and link them to the relevent urls. This is because I’m going to use this as a company website and not a blog. I’d like to know if I have that option before I purchase premium.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry you can’t change the wording – changing the wording will get your site suspended

  Current Terms of Service:

  11. Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased.

  May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?

  All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as 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.
