Hello everyone,

I'm currently selling websites for offline clients. I get WordPress themes from ThemeForest and i'm editing them for the use of my offline clients.
But how can i edit the source author information? For example: when i go to http://whatwpthemeisthat.com/, it says the theme is from the author of the WordPress theme. I want there to be my name.

Can somebody please tell me how i can do this? Would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

I would advise against that unless the license permits you to. It's just plain disrespectful to the creator if the she/he chooses a license that binds his name to his work. Whether you edit it or not, it's still not right.

If your license permits you to, check in the CSS file of the theme (style.css) You should see something like this at the top of the page:


/*Theme Name: Twenty TenTheme URI: Description: The 2010 default theme for WordPress.Author: wordpressdotorgAuthor URI: Version: 1.0Tags: black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style, custom-menu (optional)License:License URI:General comments (optional).*/
 
Thanks for your response, will look into it.

I got the theme from MaffiaShare, and so the source author says 'MaffiaShare', in that case i want to change that. Thanks again!
 
the best option is -

extract theme in a folder

start notepad++ search in folder ( third one)
search for author name

you will get all the files where author name is hidden.

make sure you edit it out correctly, you dont' want white screen.
 
It worked. I edited the CSS file and everything worked.

Thanks everyone!
 
as other said, it is on the main .css file.

You can change the screenshot too if you want.
 
How can you change the screenshot?
