MU Global Footer plugin help please!??

Hi, i’ve installed the global footer plug in for MU and have successfully placed a global footer on all blogs however it still includes the "Powered by WordPress MU and WP.MU"

and also the "My Chiroblog is proudly powered by WordPress MU running on Dr. Sadovnik’s Free ChiroBlogs. Create a new blog and join in the fun! "

how do I edit those out?

Thanks!

    Related, is it possible to have the php that generates the blog name and url in the global footer text? I left it in initially and it seemed to just be ignored. Blogname for example returned blank even thought the php was in the footer.

    We edit the theme. It’s one of the items on our checklist we have for new themes. Give me a second and I’ll find the thread.

    reedit: For those keeping track at home, we’ve added to the header.php file a check for any robots.txt information hardcoded into a meta tag. There’s been a rash of those recently. (ie One theme designer did it and a bunch more ripped off the theme but left that line in there.)

    Andrew,

    Not sure if that is what I was thinking. I was thinking more can I go into a standard theme footer and copy it out wholesale (including the <?php ?> bits) and have it work? Barring that, how does one go about using the global footer plugin to replicate the default footer which includes blog name and site name with the addition of some stuff like legal bits? Thanks.

    If you remove footer elements from a theme be sure to leave the do_action(‘wp_footer’:wink: section. Otherwise some plugins will not function properly.

    The global footer content plugin just allows you to add to the footer, not replace it. It uses the wp_footer hook mentioned above.

    Thanks,

    Hi, Again,

    So all help worked great. I was able to resolve everything save for one aspect.

    The following "XXX is proudly powered by WordPress MU running on xxx.com. Create a new blog and join in the fun!" is still appearing in the footer of my primary domain where MU is installed.

    How to remove?

    Thanks.
