Removing the “Powered by WordPress” Link?
i have a bit odd question but here it goes: Due to page styling issues with the copyright logo, i deleted the whole div that says: “Powered by WordPress (logo)”. Now due to my SEO plugin, the source doesn’t include the meta-generator tag. Now am i in violation of the WordPress License, or im ok (although i do look irresponsible)?
There is no requirement to retain the “Powered by WordPress” note in the footer or the WordPress reference in the <meta> tags in your header. There is nothing in the WordPress license (GPL) that requires these remain intact.
To take things a bit further … the “Powered by WordPress” tag in the footer is added by your theme, not by WordPress itself. And the <meta> tag in the header is pluggable specifically to make it easy to remove.
