@joomla: did you find the file in question?
http://www.yoursite.com/modules/mod_footer/tmpl/default.php
open this file to edit it…
delete line 4 (or put after what’s already there
In the end, it should look like this:

This is a tested method working 100% try it:
Go to the core files >> Languages >> en-GB.mod_footer.ini || modify it there.
FOOTER=Footer
FOOTER_LINE1=Copyright © %date% %sitename%. All Rights Reserved.
FOOTER_LINE2=Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.
MOD_FOOTER=mod_footer
THIS MODULE SHOWS THE JOOMLA! COPYRIGHT INFORMATION=This Module shows the Joomla! Copyright information
OR, another way to do it is:
Go to yourtemplate/index.php >> bottom of page || change it there.
Joomla!.
XHTML CSS
Enjoy! 😉

p hp // no direct access
d efined(‘_JEXEC’) or die(‘Restricted access’) ?
d iv ?php echo $lineone; ?>
d iv ?php echo JText::_( ‘FOOTER_LINE2’ ) ? div

Geoff | November 16, 2008 at 2:13 am
No, doesn’t work!
J1.5.7 is not like this. Just says Jtext ‘ Footer_line2’ ? Div

Ram | November 21, 2008 at 2:24 am
You need to clear your cache to update the footer. On Admin Panel, select Tools, Clean Cache and pick footer.

Hae, am looking for a way someone can change the Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License. but I dont want to remove the footer module completely, can someone help me pliz?
25.
Shuja Aria | December 12, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Hello Nelvine,
Following is the steps to remove the Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License, but keeping the footer active.
The Sentence is located in languages files in Mod_footer.ini in following location.
Joomla Root Directory – Languages – enGB – en-GB.mod_footer.ini
Open the file with Notepad or other editor , edit or remove: Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License with your own text and then save. After saving uplaod the files to its original location on your server, if you are asked to overwirte the file, select Yes.
Becarefull not to delete or misplace any other scripts other than the text, any changes to the scrip can make a new function to the footer.
Thats it. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Email: shuja.aria@gmail.com

i try all metods,but didn’t work for me…i have delete from languange/….,from mod_foot…. but didn’t work for me…can you help to me please!!
29.
Swanidhi Singh | May 10, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Dear Muamer and other friends.. facing trouble removing it..
I am currently using Joomla ! 1.5.7
You can remove it the following method
Joomla Root Directory(where it has been installed) – Languages – enGB – en-GB.mod_footer.ini
Delete/edit content of Footer_line2
Save it and refresh your page and you are good to go.
DONOT Delete FOOTER_LINE2. delete only its content.
Hope this helps.

sblessley | September 8, 2010 at 5:50 am
This is the cleanest method of several I’ve read. It also has the benefit of not losing breadcrumbs when they’re in the footer.

AnggaRifandi | December 15, 2010 at 12:39 pm
I’m currently using Joomla! 1.5.22 and have problem while remove backend footer.
I’ve done what you said above, and success to remove the copyright, but after I choose another menu (e.g Components > Banners) the Joomla! link to Joomla.org appear before my changed copyright.
Can you help me to solve this problem.
What I’ve done before:
– Change the language pack (en-GB.mod_footer.ini) in administrator area
– Try to remove ISFREESOFTWARE from cpanel.php
Can you help me. Thanks
32.
Shuja Aria | December 15, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Hello Angga,
Here is how you will remove the copyright notice from admin section:
Use FTP or HTTP and browse to following files:
Administrator – templates – select the template you are using, the default template for joomla admin is “khepri”. open and edit index.php and cpanel.php. You can find the joomla copyright info at the last part these files in “” Tag.
if you want to edit copyright information in admin login page as well, then edit the file login.php.
That should work and help you.
Thank you,
Shuja Aria

Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Many thanks!
53.
Shuja | July 16, 2013 at 10:52 am
Hi Rose,
I am not author of this blog, but thought to give you some advise.
It depends what kind of website you are looking at. You can pretty develop any kind of website using free CMS such as Joomla and WordPress and then to purchase individual components or plugins as per your requirement.
For example you can start developing your template for a Joomla E-commerce website and then to purchase additional components (Shopping carts, Gateways..) to achieve your goal. I would give a try to either Joomla or WordPress as they work perfect for everyone.
Thanks,
54.

First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I
had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before
writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or hints? Kudos!
