Your WordPress installation with the Divi theme by Elegant Themes will have a default footer:

“Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress”

Within the Divi theme, there is a simple way to disable the footer text OR write your own custom footer text.

 

Step 1:

Log in to your WP Admin panel.

yourdomainname/admin

 

Step 2:

Navigate to Divi>Theme Customizer.
You can do this from the Admin Panel menu,

or also from the front using the editing bar.

 

Step 3:

Select “Footer” from the Theme Customizer options.

 

Step 4:

From there, you will see that you can edit the footer credits and publish changes.

Type in your custom footer credits and save.

 

NOTE:

It is generally better to have some custom text in the footer for SEO purposes, rather than none at all.
