      There is a slight chance that the footer link is encrypted and removing it will break the formatting of the theme. Just a heads up, if you see that happen you'll need to do a little bit of Googling and you will find the solution, it's only slightly tricky if you know programming.

        Is there any way to tell if it's encrypted before doing it?  From the website source?

          Highlight the portion of the footer you want to remove, right click the highlighted portion and "inspect elements". This will tell you exactly what the code for that snippet is.  Hope that helps.

            This is what I get when I highlight:

            I don't see anything odd there...

              I don't see anything odd.  To me it looks to be located in the footer file.  Go appeance/editor/footer.php look for that snippet of code and delete.  It also looks to me to be the only bit of html in the footer.  Don't forget to update your file afterwards.

                I looked in the editor in the main theme and the child theme.  I used control f to search for it and didn't find their link.  Any other possibilities?

                        In genesis framework you edit the footer in functions.php

                        You could Google something like "Studiopress footer code snippet" or check at studiopress.com in the menu under Ressources > Code Snippets.

                        [Update]

                        Finally at a real computer 🙂

                        Snippets are here: http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer/#custom-footer


                        Hope this solves your problem!

                          It could be a footer widget.  If you go to the Appearance| Widgets section, you may a footer widget section--look in there for your code.  It may also be in the settings section of your theme's options--be sure to look through that section too.
