Topic summary
A user reports that “Powered by Shopify” text persists on their store’s secondary language pages despite being removed from the main language version. Screenshots demonstrate the issue across different language settings.
Proposed Solution:
A community helper suggests modifying the theme code:
- Backup first: Duplicate the current theme before making changes
- Locate the code: Navigate to Online Store > Edit Code > footer.liquid file
- Find the element: Search for
{{ powered_by_link }} - Comment out (don’t delete): Wrap the code in
{% comment %}and{% endcomment %}tags to hide it without permanent removal
Important Considerations:
- Code modifications won’t transfer automatically after theme updates
- The helper notes they are not a developer, suggesting this is a workaround rather than an official solution
- Screenshots included show the Dawn theme as an example
The discussion remains open with no confirmation whether the solution resolved the multi-language display issue.
Hi CarEQ,
I should be able to help. Please note, I am not a developer.
If you are comfortable, you can remove the Powered by Shopify from appearing by tweaking the code.
- Find your current theme in the online store > Click “…” > Duplicate theme. This is not necessary, but recommended in case you make a mistake in the code and have an original backup.
- If you Navigate to Online Store > Click “…” > Edit Code > locate your footer.liquid > Search for “{{ powered_by_link }}”, you should be able to find the code that links to the Powered by Shopify.
- Prior to making any adjustments, I would copy and paste the original full code on the footer.liquid to a separate document as another backup in case something goes awry.
- Rather than deleting the code, I would suggest using the {% comment %} and {% endcomment %} tags which will prevent anything between the tags from being rendered.
- Add Tags and save the template. See below for an example.
As an example, in the Dawn theme, the Powered by Shopify appears like this:
Adding the comments tags, then looks like this:
This will remove and prevent the Powered by Shopify from being rendered on your website.
Note, that if your theme needs an update, any code adjustments will not transfer over after the theme update so if you go down this route, please be aware that you will need to redo this change.
Hopefully, that helps or at least points you in the right direction. Cheers.
