    Some footer links are encrypted and it can be a big job to remove them..

    Best to just leave them alone,, and if they really really bug you buy a wordpress theme and do what you want with it.

    just edit the css file so that #footer{ display:none;} or #footer{visibility:hidden;} This will remove or hide the footer.

    you can give them a class for each link and just hide them and display your own.

    Avoid modifying the css with display:none simply because you may get in trouble with Google.
    You can however add a JavaScript code which will hide the links just like the dropdown menus are hidden. You can add after the credits div.
    <script>document.getElementById('credits').style.display = 'none'; </script>
    Code (JavaScript):
    Well, they still count for Google, but at least your visitors will not see them.

    that's exactly what the css code does. I don't think google will mind since most of the dropdown menus are done via css.

    @ivantk did you really post that? I'm surprised by the fact that so many people get brainwashed by divers "SEO" clerks and gurus and all kinds of experts.
    THEY ARE LYING TO YOU, because that brings them profit, and you're dumb enough not to see it yourself.

    You're mentioning google -- well, *news flash*, google doesn't really care about your css in the first place. You're suggesting scripting alternative, for some weird reason-- the effect is just the opposite!
    And why would google care about it anyway? Did you actually take your time to open the link he included? No content of value is wrapped in DIV#credits there. Some words in Hebrew and some advertizing, yeah that's definitely the reason why visitors came on the website, of course!
    As polite as I can be, read what you wrote above, you make no sense.

    I apologize for the delay, but I was too busy selling my own products.
    You post inspired me to write a better code.
    The new solution:
    <script>document.getElementById('credits').innerHTML= ""; </script>
    Code (JavaScript):
    It is not a problem if the user can do an action to show them and if Google Bot understands this.

    @wiicker95 - Looking at your Avatar and your nick name, I am guessing you are no more than 18 years old. Or are you dumb enough to make you look like such?
    I've created my fist website when you were under the table, looking up and asking your mother if this is the sky. I am not brainwashed by any guru simply because I am a guru with more than 15 years experience in SEO and Web Development. If you look beyond HTML/CSS section of this forum, you will find too many people crying about Google penalized their website for hiding advertising links - your way!

    Are you saying that hiding links and text is OK, if they are of no value to the visitor but they are just for Google?
    Are you joking or are you just trying to be original?

    If Google doesn't care about CSS why do they care to wrote this article - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66353?hl=en
    or this article https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2604780?hl=en
    They used to clearly stated that display:none is a bad webmaster practice to hide links/text, but they revised this because their search engine now good at reading JavaScript and AJAX.
    Still it is a bad practice to hide links if there is no way for the user to show them (ex: mouse over or mouse clicked).

    ok guys. I found a solution to this.

    We can reduce the font-size to 0px. And it won't be visible. Will there be any problem in reducing font-size? I mean, in SEO ?

    Aha I honestly don't think it will matter for the SEO. yes you can reduce the font size, not display it or render it invisible. It wouldn't make a difference
