customization - how to edit or remove the dashboard footer message

This question already has an answer here: How to remove version and thank you message from the admin footer (1 answer) Closed 6 years ago.

I insert the following simple code in the functions.php to edit the message in the footer dashboard "Thank you for creating with WordPress." but nothing changes. I have Version 4.9.8 Do you think this code is not effected in version 4 ?

// Admin footer modification

function remove_footer_admin () {
    echo '<span id="footer-thankyou">Developed by <a href="" target="_blank">www.example</a></span>';
}
add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'remove_footer_admin');

• 2 Note that if this was a filter, you would be passed the value as an argument and have to return the new value. You can't just echo out the result in a filter, that's not how filters work. – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Oct 21, 2018 at 17:51

You can use White Label CMS plugin. Using this plugin you can change footer message and as well as you can update almost all the default settings.

1. Install & activate White Label CMS plugin
2. Go to Admin Panel >> Settings >> White Label CMS. See this https://prnt.sc/l8xah5
3. Click on Branding.
4. Under the Footer Section, add your custom footer message and Save the changes.
