How can I remove 'powered by Shopify' from the Dawn theme?

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: remove the “Powered by Shopify” text from the Dawn theme after deleting it in the Language editor did not work.

Key suggestions:

  • Edit theme code and comment out/remove the “powered by” block in footer.liquid (the footer template file).
  • Alternatively, hide the link via CSS by adding a rule in section-footer.css targeting the copyright link, effectively removing it from display.

Outcome/validation:

  • A later participant reported that previous methods failed but the CSS approach worked for them, indicating this method can be effective when the language setting or template edits don’t take effect.

Notes:

  • footer.liquid is the theme’s footer template; CSS (cascading style sheets) can visually hide elements without altering template code.

Status:

  • No confirmation from the original poster, but the CSS method has a successful report from another user. The discussion appears practically resolved with the CSS solution.

Hi, i need help removing the ‘powered by shopify’ on dawn theme. I’ve taken it out the language section but its still on my store.

@LunaZA - go to the footer.liquid file and comment the powered by code, it will remove it

or if you share the page link then I will check if we have unique id or class to it and then hide it using css

Hi @LunaZA ,

This is Richard from PageFly - Landing page builder, I’d like to suggest this idea:
Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
Step 2: Asset->/section-footer.css->paste below code at the bottom of the file:

.copyright__content a[rel="nofollow"] {
    display: none;
}

I hope it would help you
Best regards,

Richard | PageFly

This is the 6th method for today. everything else didn’t help, this helped. Why do you constantly come up with topics with new problems?
