How to Remove or Change the PrestaShop “Ecommerce software by PrestaShop™” Footer Text

Want to remove or customize the default PrestaShop copyright message in your shop’s footer? This easy guide shows exactly how, even for beginners. You’ll be able to add your shop name or just remove the line completely.

  1. Open your FTP program (such as FileZilla) or use your hosting File Manager.
  2. Go to your PrestaShop site files at:
    /themes/hummingbird/templates/_partials/
  3. Find and open the file named:
    footer.tpl
  4. Search for the following lines inside footer.tpl:
    <div class="copyright">
        {l s='© %year% - Ecommerce software by PrestaShop™' d='Shop.Theme.Global' sprintf=['%year%' => "Y"|date]}
    </div>
    (You may see slight differences, but it will include "Ecommerce software by PrestaShop™".)

Remove or Change the Footer Text

  • To remove: Delete those lines from the file.
  • To use your own copyright:
    <div class="copyright">
        © 2025 Your Shop Name. All rights reserved.
    </div>
    (Change "Your Shop Name" as you like.)
  • To auto-update the year:
    <div class="copyright">
        © {date('Y')} Your Shop Name. All rights reserved.
    </div>
  1. Save the file and upload it if you downloaded it.
  2. Clear your PrestaShop cache:
    In your back office, go to Advanced Parameters > Performance and click Clear cache.
  3. Refresh your website. To ensure you see your change (not a cached version), open your site in Incognito/Private mode.
    Tip: Incognito is best practice for all PrestaShop front office testing!

Note: If you update your theme, your changes may be overwritten. Just repeat these steps if needed.
