Find the footer.php file for the them WP Advocate. It is located in the path /website-root/wp-content/themes/wp-advocate/

Using NotePad++ Open the file called “footer.php” and then save as “foot.php-backup”

Close the backup that you just created and re-open the original file called “footer.php”

Locate the following source code:

<footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo">
    <div id="site-generator">

        <?php echo __('&copy; ', 'wp-advocate') . esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) );  ?>
        <span><?php if(is_home() || is_front_page()): ?>
            - <?php echo __( 'Thanks to ','wp-advocate' ); ?><a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://wordpress.org/', 'wp-advocate' ) ); ?>" target="_blank"><?php printf('%s', 'WordPress' ); ?></a> <span><?php _e('and','wp-advocate'); ?></span> <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://wpdevshed.com/themes/advocate/', 'wp-advocate' ) ); ?>" target="_blank"><?php printf( esc_html( '%s', 'wp-advocate' ), 'WP Advocate' ); ?></a>
        <?php endif; ?>
        </span>
        <?php wp_advocate_footer_nav(); ?>
        
    </div>
</footer><!-- #colophon -->

Do you see the following conditional?

<?php if(is_home() || is_front_page()): ?>

Change the || to && and save the file.

This symbol || is the OR conditional. This symbol && is the AND conditional.

As long as your homepage is not your blog page, only the copyright notice will now display. In other words, if you specify a static page (other than the homepage) as your blog roll page, then it will no longer display “Thanks to WordPress and WP Advocate.”
