 ======How to remove "Thanks to WordPress and WP-Advocate" in the WordPress footer======
-Find the footer.php file for the them WP Advocate.  It is located in the path /website-root/wp-content/themes/wp-advocate/
+This applies to the WordPress Theme known as WP-Advocate by [[https://www.wpdevshed.com/our-themes/]].
-Using NotePad++ Open the file called "footer.php" and then save as "foot.php-backup"
+Note: The following solution has been tested to work when the default page (homepage) of the website is configured to be a static page rather than being the blog page of the WordPress website.  In that configuration, a different static page (or no page at all) is designated as the blog page.  Also, I am working in a Windows server environment, so I will be using a text editor that I installed known as NotePad++ in order to edit PHP files.
-Close the backup that you just created and re-open the original file called "footer.php"
+Let's get started.
-Locate the following source code:
+First, find the footer.php file for the theme known as WP Advocate. Within the WordPress core files, the footer.php file is located in the path /your-website-root/wp-content/themes/wp-advocate/footer.php
+Using NotePad++ Open the file called "footer.php" and then "save as" -- that is, save a backup of this original footer.php file and name it -- "footer.php-backup"
+Close the backup that you just created and again use Notepad++ to re-open the original file called "footer.php"
+Locate the following source code / script:
 <code>

 </code>
-Do you see the following conditional?
+Now find the following conditional within the above script:
 <code><?php if(is_home() || is_front_page()): ?></code>
-Change the || to && and save the file.
+Here is the solution.
+Replace || with && and then save(/overwrite) the footer.php file.
+Following is the resulting conditional:
+<code><?php if(is_home() && is_front_page()): ?></code>
-This symbol || is the OR conditional.
+This symbol || is the OR logical operator.
-This symbol && is the AND conditional.
+This symbol && is the AND logical operator.
-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."
+The footer section of your homepage should no longer display "Thanks to WordPress and WP Advocate."  It will only display the copyright notice of the title element of the website.
