I have found a new way for all the Blogger users out there to remove or just hide the Footer Credit of a free Blogger theme without redirecting to the theme's website original owner. So there's no need to worry that the original owner will get mad at you because you remove the footer credit because for this tutorial, we will only going to hide it and we will replace it with our own.

The very good effect of hiding the credit is that your homepage or even your individual articles loading time will be more faster compared to the time that the theme owner's footer credit was still there.

Again, there is no need to worry about copyright claims of the theme's owner because the original html code of the footer credit is still there and will never be removed. Now, let's go down to business and start hiding the footer credit of any Blogger new templates.

STEPS:

1. First, go to your Blogger Theme > click Edit HTML.

2. Inside the theme editor (click anywhere inside it) and press CTRL + F (Find) and type any of the given words below.

credit, copyright, by, created, distributed, mycontent

If "credit" will not brought you to the line of code wherein you will find the footer credit, then, you can try to search for "copyright" and so on. Just select the word that will help you find the footer credit. See an example of it below:

<div class='copyright'>
Created By <a href='http://www.themexpose.com/' id='mycontent' title='Blogger Templates'>ThemeXpose</a> | Distributed By <a href='https://gooyaabitemplates.com/' rel='dofollow' style='color:#666;' target='_blank'>Gooyaabi Templates</a>
</div>

<div id='credits'>
Blogger Theme by <a href='http://www.premiumbloggertemplates.com/' rel='nofollow' target='_blank' title='Blogger Templates'>Premium Blogger Templates</a> | Distributed by <a href='https://gooyaabitemplats.com/' rel='nofollow' style='color: #7D7D7D' target='_blank'>Free Blogger Templates</a>
</div>

<div class='jugas_footer_copyright'>
Designed with <i aria-hidden='true' class='fa fa-heart' style='color: red;'/> by <a href='https://www.way2themes.com/' id='mycontent' rel='dofollow' title='Blogger Templates'>Way2Themes</a> | Distributed By <a href='https://gooyaabitemplates.com/' rel='dofollow' style='color:#3cc091;' target='_blank'>Best Blogger Themes</a>
</div>

3. Once you found the footer credit find the opening <div> tag which is over it. As you can see in the examples above it is <div class='copyright'>  , <div id='credits'> , <div class='jugas_footer_copyright'> . All you need to do is add the given code below inside the <div> tag.

style='display:none;'

The result will be:

<div class='copyright' style='display:none;'>

<div id='credits' style='display:none;'>

<div class='jugas_footer_copyright' style='display:none;'>

4. Now, go and find (Ctrl + F) the closing </body>  tag. After you find it. copy and paste the given code below above </body>  .

<br /><div style='text-align: center'>2019 - sharingthat.xyz</div><br />

Do not forget to replace "sharingthat.xyz" with your own blog or website link.

5. When done! Click the "Save theme" button to save your work.

6. Now check the homepage of your blog if the footer note is still there or was removed already. And also check whether of your blog will redirect to the themes original owner. If it did not, then you follow this tutorial correctly.

Update: This trick doesn't work with the TemplatesYard template. But proven working with Way2themes, GooyaabiTemplates, PremiumBloggerTemplates, and ThemeXpose.
