Sometimes we see some text on our website that we do not want, and weâre not the ones who put it there.Â
In most cases, at the bottom of our website (the âfooter menuâ), weâll find text giving credit to Shopify, the platform we are using. Most people donât want this on their site.
Want to know how to remove that unwanted text? Read on to find out!
âPowered By Shopifyâ is a text shown on our online storeâs footer (bottom) and lets viewers know that the site is created through Shopify’s platform.
Most store owners don’t want this message on their stores for a few reasons:
There are two methods to remove the âPowered By Shopifyâ text from your footer menu. Letâs go over each option.
On the Shopify Dashboard, navigate to Online Store > Themes.Â
Make sure your theme is selected. Then, click on the Actions dropdown menu, and select Edit languages.
On the next screen, you should see a bunch of text fields.
The first text field you should see is âFilter,â and the text field will display âSearch translations.â
Use that text field to type âpoweredâ and give the browser a few seconds to load the results.Â
Once the results load, a couple of text fields below should show the âPowered by Shopifyâ writing, outside the text field and inside.Â
Now, all thatâs left to do is add a space in the text field to remove the âPowered by Shopifyâ text.Â
Once we add a space, the text field should go blank. Thatâs how we know we cleared the text on our footer menu.
Next, click on âSave.âÂ
Head back to your website, scroll down to the footer menu and ensure that the âPowered By Shopifyâ text is gone. Thatâs all there is to it!
For those in the crowd who want to challenge their technical skills, we can also remove the âPowered by Shopifyâ by removing the HTML code from our website.
To do this, on the Shopify Dashboard, navigate to Online Store > Themes.Â
Make sure your theme is selected. Then, click on the Actions dropdown menu, and select Edit code.
Next, on the left column, click on the âSectionsâ folder. A list of .liquid file extensions will appear.
Scroll down and click on the footer.liquid file.Â
You can also search for âfooter.liquidâ using the search field on the top to find it faster.
Once you click on the file, the footer.liquid HTML code will appear on the right. Click anywhere inside that HTML box.
Now, open up the search command on your browser (Windows: CTRL+F; Mac: Command+F).Â
A search function will appear inside the HTML box.
In the text field, search for the following term: â{{ powered_by_link }}â (without quotation marks).
From the results, delete the whole HTML code line that holds the {{ powered_by_link }} code inside.
Keep in mind that making any wrong moves can cause problems with the websiteâs look and functionality, so make sure youâre doing it correctly.Â
If you donât have basic HTML knowledge, itâs best to stick with the first method for a more effortless user experience.
Once the lines are deleted, click on âSaveâ, and youâre all set!
As we can see, removing the âPowered by Shopifyâ comes without hassle.Â
Once we learn our way around the Shopify platform, everything falls into place, and anything is possible.
Technical skills are not required to run and maintain successful Shopify dropshipping stores.
