Updating Wordpress plugin admin panel footer text

The Wordpress admin backend displays the following footer text for each page of the admin panel: 'Thank you for creating with Wordpress'.

What is the cleanest way to update this text for a particular plugin page only ?

Currently I have added a filter for the 'admin_footer_text' hook, however, this has the effect of updating all page footers on the backend, not just those specific to my plugin.

Is it a case of using the 'admin_footer_text' hook, and adding some conditional checking around which admin panel page is being called? Or is there a cleaner, more direct hook I should be using?

• Should everybody guess the plugin name? – Max Yudin Commented Dec 15, 2018 at 14:45
• I don't see how the particular plugin name is relevant to the question ? – Scratcha Commented Dec 15, 2018 at 14:53
• May be it has a hook to modify it's footer. Now content yourself with generic code. – Max Yudin Commented Dec 15, 2018 at 14:59
• It's my own custom plugin... – Scratcha Commented Dec 15, 2018 at 18:41

<?php
// check the plugin admin page
if( is_admin() && isset( $_GET['page'] ) && 'PLUGIN-NAME' == $_GET['page'] ) { 

    // replace the footer with empty string
    add_filter( 'admin_footer_text', '__return_empty_string' );

}
