Custom Admin Footer Text

Custom footer text on every dashboard screen—brand it or keep it minimal.

Overview

Custom Admin Footer Text replaces the left and right messages in the WordPress dashboard footer. Add a short agency credit, client reference, or support message without changing the footer of the public website.

The two fields behave differently when empty: the left keeps WordPress’s standard thank-you text, while the empty right field hides the WordPress version line.

Who is this for?

Agencies preparing branded client handovers and businesses that want a useful, recognizable footer inside wp-admin.

Features

Separate left and right text
Control each side of the administrative footer independently.
Formatted left-hand content
The left field supports content permitted by WordPress post-HTML filtering.
Optional time reference
Footer Timezone Display can append site-time information after your right-hand text.

Use the Footer for a Useful Client Reference

The admin footer is a suitable place for a brief credit or support reference that does not need its own dashboard widget. Keep the left message focused on identity or help, and use the right side for another short reference when necessary. Unlike a complete dashboard-branding system, this module changes only those two footer areas. It leaves public website content alone and does not require changing theme templates.
Blank fields are deliberate choices, not identical resets. Leaving the left empty preserves the WordPress thank-you message; leaving the right empty removes its version output. If Footer Timezone Display is also enabled, its date, time, and timezone still append afterward. An empty right field therefore does not suppress every later footer addition. For branding higher in the dashboard, Admin Logo controls toolbar and sidebar logo placement separately.

Use Cases

  • Agency handover
    Add a concise credit or client-help reference inside WordPress.
  • Business administration
    Replace generic footer copy while retaining a separate site-time display.
