Edit “thank you for creating with Wordpress” in version 3.3.1

Question

Is there a way to edit the text "thank you for creating with Wordpress" in version 3.3.1 at the bottom of the CMS? If so what file do I need to edit?

Answer 1

Credit definitely goes to @kaiser, but here you go:

function wpse_edit_footer()
{
    add_filter( 'admin_footer_text', 'wpse_edit_text', 11 );
}

function wpse_edit_text($content) {
    return "New Footer Text";
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'wpse_edit_footer' );

Answer 2

Just hook into the filter. The only thing remaining will be the <hr />.

/**
 * Change/Disable the footer text line
 * @return void
 */
function wpse_remove_footer()
{
    add_filter( 'admin_footer_text',    '__return_false', 11 );
    add_filter( 'update_footer',        '__return_false', 11 );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'wpse_remove_footer' );
