Change WordPress Admin Dashboard Footer Text

The WordPress admin footer is located at the bottom of every page in your dashboard. It includes a copyright notice and links to WordPress.org and the WordPress Codex, as well as the current version of WordPress you are running. The text is hard-coded into the core software, so unless you want to modify that software directly, there is not a way to edit the WordPress admin footer text.

The WordPress admin dashboard footer default text is Thank you for creating with WordPress. You can modify this text easily. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to change the footer text in the WordPress admin dashboard through functions.php or a code snippet plugin (optional)

Our recommendations before editing functions.php
Take a full backup of your website or blog.
