Remove "Help Us to Keep Magento Healthy"

The footer message is really annoying. There is a footer function in admin to configure but the bug reporting message is coded into the files, not through the admin/backend. I don’t know why the developers make it so difficult to use. I realise it is a community edition yet should a free product should be an example of what the paid for item can do. It should shine and stand out from the crowd, be a call to upgrade, a beacon for others to set their standards, the start of a new relationship? Not a pain that makes you want to look elsewhere. However, I found the answer /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/footer.phtml Mine looks like this:

<div class=”footer-container”> <div class=”footer”> <div ?php echo $this->getChildHtml() ?> </div> </div>

Turn the cache back on Why not take this opportunity to change the footer copyright to something of your choice? This can be found in the system/configuration menu. Select design on the left then fill out the footer parts as required. NB: I am currently testing the modern theme so to remove the magento bugs message edit the footer  file in appdesignfrontenddefaultmoderntemplatepagehtml Simply remove the whole ‘p class bugs’ line.
