PHP snippet · Admin & Dashboard
Custom admin footer credit
Replaces the WordPress credit in the admin footer with your own name and support link, and clears the version text on the right.
About this php snippet
A small white-label touch for client sites. The admin footer becomes your support line instead of a WordPress credit, so the person who needs help is reading your name on the screen they are already stuck on.
Two values at the top of the snippet, and it is done. No settings page, no options table entry, nothing to maintain.
What it does
- Replaces the WordPress credit text with your own
- Turns it into a link to your support page, contact form, or ticket portal when you give it a URL
- Clears the WordPress version text on the right-hand side of the footer
Good to know
- Leave the URL empty for plain text with no link
- Your credit text is escaped, so what you type is exactly what appears. The only markup is the link the snippet builds for you, which keeps a client site safe from a stray tag pasted into the wrong place.
- Emoji work fine in the credit if you want one
- Cosmetic by design. It changes the footer and nothing else in the admin.
