Custom Admin Footer Text

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

Overview

Custom Admin Footer Text lets you replace the text at the bottom of every admin page. WordPress shows “Thank you for creating with WordPress” on the left and the version number on the right. This module lets you set your own left and right footer text. Use it to brand the admin, add support links, or clear the default text entirely. Basic HTML (e.g. links) is allowed. Leave a
field empty to hide that side—e.g. leave the right field empty to remove the version number.

Who is this for?
Site owners and agencies who want to brand the admin footer, add support links, or remove the default WordPress text.

Features

Left Footer Text
Replace "Thank you for creating with WordPress" with your own text. Supports basic HTML (links, bold, etc.).
Right Footer Text
Replace the version number with your own text, or leave empty to hide it.
Empty = Hidden
Leave either field empty to hide that side of the footer.
HTML Allowed
Basic HTML is allowed. Use wp_kses_post for safe output.

How It Works

1
Enable the Module
Go to WP PowerSuite, find "Custom Admin Footer Text," and click the Enable button.
2
Configure Settings
Open the module settings. Enter text for the left footer (e.g. "Thank you for using My Site") and/or the right footer (e.g. "Version 1.0 · Support"). Leave a field empty to hide that side.
3
Save
Settings save automatically. The new footer text appears on all admin pages.
Performance Note
Minimal. Uses two WordPress filters (admin_footer_text, update_footer). No extra database queries beyond loading the settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Troubleshooting

  • Footer text not changing
    Ensure the module is enabled and you saved the settings. Refresh the admin page. Check that you didn't leave both fields empty if you expect to see something.
  • HTML not rendering
    Only basic, safe HTML is allowed. Script tags and unsafe attributes are stripped. Use simple links and formatting.
