This simple hack is an extra perk that theme designers can add for their clients or in their free themes (like many plugin authors do).
This is how the default footer in WordPress admin area looks like:
This can be changed and you can add some useful links to be displayed in footer.
To accomplish this trick, simply open your theme’s functions.php file and paste the following code:
function remove_footer_admin () { echo 'Fueled by <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> | Designed by <a href="http://www.uzzz.net" target="_blank">Uzzz Productions</a> | WordPress Tutorials: <a href="" target="_blank">WPBeginner</a></p>'; } add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'remove_footer_admin'); You will need to edit the code to echo your own links or anything that you want to add here.
