hello, I’d like to remove the powered by Shopify link at the footer of my store, my theme is dawn, and I’ve already edited the default theme content by putting a space in the “powered by Shopify html” as well as editing the code, searching powered and deleting that section as well. Although it still appears at the footer of my store, I’d appreciate any help, thank you.

Hey @Robert05 ,

Can you confirm if this is what you deleted?

Line 356 in footer.liquid. Take a look at the screenshot too.

Hey @Robert05

Welcome to Shopify Community! Can you share your Store URL so I can have a look on it? Also, if you have password enabled then please share the password as well. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

I have the Automation them that has a area for css in the customizer. This is the css I used to remove just the Powered by Shopify and leave the copyright in place.
.footer__copyright a[href*=“shopify”] { display: none;
