  Hi there,
  I have bought a domain through wordpress and have also bought a layout theme (ladder).
  How do I remove the wordpress footer with the text ‘BLOG AT WORDPRESS.COM. THE LADDER THEME. ‘ from my website and its pages?
  Cheers,
  Brianne.

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

  Hi Brianne,

  That snippet of text is required per our Terms of Service here:

  The specific relevant section is #11, pasted below:

  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.

  Ah ok cool.

  At least I know to search no further.

  Thanks alot!

  Might be nice as a thought if it were possible, for the writing of it to be made smaller than my own personal footer.

  Just a suggestion ;)

  Cheers and have a fabulous day!!

  Brianne.
