Knowledge Base - How to remove "Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery" in the footer

// Function for the credits-section
In previous versions of Coppermine the "Powered by Coppermine" used to be obfuscated to make it hard for non-coders to remove the tag. The reason behind this was an additional license add-on that disallowed users to change the line. The dev team has reviewed this policy for cpg1.5.x and decided that end users ARE allowed to change or remove the line in legal terms. 

HOWEVER: We have a forum policy for the support board instead: support will only be given for galleries that show the "Powered by Coppermine" tag unobfuscated.
Before removing the credits, please consider this as well: Coppermine is free software, the dev team ASKS you to keep the footer intact. We're convinced that you should give credit where credit is due. So please think twice before you decide to remove the tag.

Open: /include/themes.inc.php

Goto Line: 1961

Fine this:

function theme_credits() {
$return = <<< EOT

<div class="footer" align="center" style="padding:10px;display:block;visibility:visible; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">Powered by <a href="http://coppermine-gallery.net/" title="Coppermine Photo Gallery" rel="external">Coppermine Photo Gallery</a></div>
EOT;
return $return;
}

Should Look Like This:

function theme_credits() {
$return = <<< EOT

EOT;
return $return;
}

That's All!
