Please can you post the code that you've changed so it can be better diagnosed.

I think it's kinda rude to ask how to remove the "Powered By Opencart"-text here, in Opencart's forums... ::)

Your free to change that if you like, it would be nice if you would make a donation to the project tough.

I know that you are allowed to change anything you'd like... But I think it's rude to ask the creators and the projects community how to remove it... ::)

The code looks good to me, I've copy and pasted it to my test site and it works for me.
Could you copy the entire file?

A simple way of removing the "Powered by" ad is to install my simple plugin:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=3693


It removes the "Powered by" from the footer and/or from the emails the customer gets after purchasing anything from the store.



It is a VQMod so just drop the file into the VQMod directory with no core file or database changes.
