Now in Joomla 1.5, you can easily remove the “Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.” from the default footer.
Just go to Administrator Control Panel >> Extensions >> Module Manager and “unpublish” the “footer module“.
To modify the message to something else
For english website go to the language/en-GB/ directory, edit “en-GB.mod_footer.ini” and change:
FOOTER_LINE1=
FOOTER_LINE2=
However some Joomla! footer need manually edit at default page which located at “templates” directory and normally named as:
- index.php
- cpanel.php (for administrator)
