How can I customize the WordPress admin footer text?

Asked on Sep 16, 2025

Answer

To customize the WordPress admin footer text, you can use a specific WordPress hook called `admin_footer_text`. This hook allows you to modify the text displayed in the footer of the WordPress admin dashboard.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    function custom_admin_footer() {
        echo 'Your custom footer text here.';
    }
    add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'custom_admin_footer');
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->
Additional Comment:
  • Add the code snippet to your theme's `functions.php` file or a custom plugin.
  • Ensure you have proper access to your WordPress files to make these changes.
  • Always back up your site before making changes to theme or plugin files.
