How to Change or Hide Footer Text in WordPress Using CSS Tutorial

by | Sep 10, 2021 | CSS Tips and Tricks | 0 comments



In this video, I go in depth on how to use CSS to change the footer text in the WordPress theme.

Using the “:before” and “:after” psuedo elements on a selector, you can add and subtract any content that you desire. By using the “content” property in the declaration, CSS behaves almost like JavaScript or jQuery.

While it’s seemless to do this and does not require a plugin, the only drawback is really semantics — with this method, you’re not really omitting the element, but magically making it “disappear” with the “display:none” property and value declarations.

On the otherhand, if you use jQuery or JavaScript, you can completely remove the element and add your own, but this may require a plugin to do so. See my previous video: https://youtu.be/skUnvSiIbMQ
