  Per the WordPress.com terms of service, this footer text cannot be removed or altered.

  Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Powered by a 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.

  One other idea…What is the URL of the site you are trying to remove the WordPress text from? If it is the one listed in your profile, then you are using a self-hosted version of WordPress instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here. That means you can remove that text.

  With that being said, I highly recommend using a child theme or a plugin that allows you to add custom CSS. Try adding the following CSS code:

  .site-info {
      display : none;
  }

  If that does not work or if you have questions about how to do it, please ask on the WordPress.org support forums and include your site’s URL, what you are trying to do, and what you have already tried.

  Good luck!
