lk;j’oj;What this does:
Removes the footer from view for visitors.
Keeps it in the HTML (so search engines can still see it).
If you want to completely delete it from the source code, you’ll need to:
Go to Appearance → Widgets and remove the footer widget(s).
Or edit the footer in Appearance → Editor (Full Site Editor) and delete the footer block.
Or override footer.php in your theme/child theme and remove the code.
Do you want me to give you step-by-step instructions to remove it completely via theme editing so it doesn’t even load in the HTML? That’s a bit cleaner.
