How To Change The WordPress Admin Footer Text

By default, WordPress displays a message at the bottom of the Dashboard saying "Thank you for creating with WordPress." In this short blog post, we'll see how we can change this message and replace it with our own custom text.
 
In order to update the text, all you need to do is navigate to the root of your active theme folder and open your functions.php file. And in this file, you need to drop the following code snippet. In the following code, we're using the admin_footer_text filter to intercept and update the default footer text.
  1. function update_footer_admin () {  
  2.   echo 'My awesome footer text';  
  3. }  
  4. add_filter('admin_footer_text''update_footer_admin');  
Make sure to change "My awesome footer text" with your own custom message or brand's tagline.
 
You could also add HTML to this message.
  1. function update_footer_admin () {    
  2.   echo 'My <a href="https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/" target="_blank">awesome</a> footer text';    
  3. }    
  4. add_filter('admin_footer_text''update_footer_admin');    
The above code will add a anchor tag around the word awesome.
