  Should be simple, but I can’t seem to figure out how to change or remove: 2016 Tiger Lines
  Blog at WordPress.com. | The Prosperity Theme.

  From my footer, or lowest portion of my web site. Also, changing the social icons from the bottom?

  Thanks

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

  Removal of the top Admin bar and/or footer credit links is a Terms of Service violation that results in blog suspension and there is no upgrade that changes that.

  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. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  Support docs:

  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

  Though removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme, and that you are hosting your site yourself is not allowed under the Terms of Service, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS, if you have purchased the Business bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ or Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ of upgrades, as they contain the Custom Design upgrade.

  Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or you can include a copyright notice.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing: Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions

  Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
