How do I remove 'powered by Shopify' from my Palo Alto theme?

Technical Q&A
,

Topic summary

A user is attempting to remove the “Powered by Shopify” text from their Palo Alto theme, specifically on the password-protected page. They’ve tried editing footer.liquid and footer.copyright.liquid files without success.

Initial troubleshooting attempts:

  • Editing theme liquid files manually
  • Adding custom CSS code to hide the text (suggested by another user)
  • Neither approach worked for the password page

Additional complication:

  • The user wants to replace it with “powered by tiny bit digital”
  • Changes made don’t reflect on the password page, only regular pages
  • Password and non-password pages appear to reference different default Shopify code

Recommended solution:

  • The theme developer provides step-by-step instructions for removing “Powered by Shopify”
  • For the password page specifically, contacting the theme developer is advised since documentation doesn’t cover this case
  • For custom “powered by” text on regular pages: either add a Text section in the theme customizer, or manually add <p>powered by tiny bit digital</p> to the footer-copyright.liquid file
  • Important: Back up the theme before making code changes, as custom coding isn’t officially supported by Shopify

Status: Unresolved for the password page; awaiting theme developer guidance.
