Although we all know what a great content management system Joomla is, sometimes situations call for the link not to be visible in your website footer. To remove this from the default (1.0.x) template, you need to browse via ftp or otherwise to the file includes/version.php.


Open it with your favourite editor, find the $URL line and change it to your liking. If you want nothing at all leave the line as $URL = '' (2 apostrophes). Do not remove the whole line because you might break your template.

This applies to the default template (rhuk_solarflare_ii). Other templates are likely to not use the URL and use their own links. You would have to use some kind of software on your local installation which looks within text files, and search for the text you want to change. Once you find it, you can change it to suit your needs.
