  I just setup a new site on WordPress.com, purchased a premium theme, DNS, hide ads and the custom CSS package. However it doesn’t seem I can remove the following from the footer:

  Blog at WordPress.com. Theme: Delicious Magazine by WooThemes.

  Is this not possible on WordPress.com? Must I host my own installation elsewhere to achieve this? Thank you.

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

  Removing the Footer & Credits is a Terms of Service violation.

  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.
