Hey Just Purchased The CSS custom Design upgrade, and was trying to change the text on the bottom of the website that says “Customized Soundcheck Theme. Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com.”

I would Like It To Say ” Powered By #LMG & The Nyah Lyan Foundation ©2013″

Believe it or not, I Purchased the Custom Design, Just So I Could Change Those Words.

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

Change the text and your blog will be 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.

The current policy about the footer in the support documentation:

May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit.

@auxclass
The support doc has been updated.

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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

” Powered By #LMG & The Nyah Lyan Foundation ©2013″

“Powered by” refers to the software. For example Powered by WordPress is in the footer of self hosted WordPress.org installs.

You can’t change the wording, but you can add your own text using the CSS “content” property.

Here is an example that you can try out by adding it to your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor:
```
.site-credits::before {
	content: "Powered By #LMG & The Nyah Lyan Foundation 0A9 2013";
	display: block;
}
.site-footer {
	height: 60px;
}
```
You can read more about why you need to use a special code to display a glyph such as the copyright statement at http://css-tricks.com/css-content/ if you’re interested.

We appreciate the feedback. Thank you for that.

I just looked at http://nyahlyan.com/ again, and I think your content looks really nice with the Soundcheck theme!
