How to Hide and Remove Footer in Divi? The Easy Way!

Do you want to remove the footer in the Divi theme? In this guide, we’ll explain how to easily hide and disable the footer site-wide, from custom pages, and specific posts.

Divi by Elegant Themes is an excellent multipurpose WordPress theme. With its numerous features and customization possibilities, it stands out as one of the best themes in the market.

In our full review of Divi, we have explained the main features of this beautiful theme. And today, we will show you how to make some additional customizations on your site. In this article, you will learn how to remove or hide the footer in Divi.

When Should You Remove vs. Customize the Footer?

Before removing the footer entirely, consider whether a simple customization might be more effective. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:

• Remove the Footer
  • You want a distraction-free layout (landing pages, sales funnels)
  • You don’t need footer elements like menus, widgets, or copyright info
  • Your design calls for a clean, minimal layout
  • You’re replacing the footer with a fully custom layout elsewhere
• Customize the Footer
  • You still want to show essential links, branding, or legal info
  • You’re trying to match the footer with your site’s new design
  • You want to edit footer text, widgets, or layout using the Divi Theme Builder
  • You plan to keep the footer but improve its UX and aesthetics

In short, remove the footer when it serves no purpose, but customize it if you want to keep functionality while improving design or content.

Why Remove Footer in Divi?

If you use Divi, you have probably noticed that the footer says Divi by Elegant Themes.

Even though some people are ok with that, you may need to remove the footer of a website. For example, your clients may want to hide the footer from their sites because they want to add some information there.

Or maybe you are developing a custom template for one of your WordPress sites and want a customized footer. So, if you’d like to remove the Divi footer to enhance the content area, you are in the right place!

In most cases, you need to write PHP code in the template to customize a theme. But if you’re a complete beginner, this isn’t a good idea. With some CSS customizations, you can personalize your theme more easily.

Before You Start…

To make the changes, we will be editing the Divi code. So, we recommend using a child theme instead of editing the theme’s core files.

Wondering why? If you make changes to the style.css file and functions.php on the Divi parent theme, next time you update the theme, the new theme files will be saved to your theme folder.

And all the old files will be overridden. Hence, you will lose all your customizations.

You can prevent this by creating a child theme. You can make all the changes and customizations in that child theme so that the parent theme updates won’t affect your website.

There are many tools you can use to create a child theme. You can check out our list of the best child theme plugins or our detailed guide on how to create a WordPress child theme using a plugin or manually.

How to Remove Footer in Divi?

You can hide the footer in Divi from:

1. WordPress admin dashboard
   1. Remove the footer site-wide
   2. Hide the footer from specific pages
   3. Remove the Divi footer in certain posts
2. Divi’s Theme Panel

Here, we’ll teach you how to hide the footer in Divi both in custom pages and specific posts. Although this involves some coding, it’s relatively simple, and even beginners can make these changes.

1) Hide the Divi footer from the WordPress admin

1.1) Hide Footer in Divi Site-Wide

To remove the footer from the whole website, you will need to use a bit of CSS. You can edit the child theme’s style.css file or add this custom CSS code to your Additional CSS section on the Divi Customizer. For this guide, we will use the Additional CSS feature for the changes. So, copy the following CSS code

/* Hide footer */

#main-footer {
    height: 0 !important;
    overflow: hidden;
}

and paste it in the Additional CSS section. The code sets the height of the main footer to 0. So, the footer won’t be visible. After pasting the code, check the preview section; your footer will be gone.

Short and sweet. The above code will hide your entire footer. However, if you check any Divi website, you will see that there are two footers available.

• Main footer
• Bottom footer

In the main footer, you can add widgets, information regarding your business, or even an Instagram gallery.

In our view, the main footer is an essential section for every website. Typically, the bottom footer includes the copyright text, social links, and other relevant contact information. You can also hide this with a bit of CSS. To disable the bottom footer section in Divi, copy the following code:

/* Remove bottom footer from divi */
#footer-bottom {
display:none;
}

And paste it in the Additional CSS section.

That’s it. You have successfully removed the Divi bottom footer from the whole website!

1.2) Remove Footer on Custom Pages

To remove the Divi footer on specific pages or posts, you need to find the unique page ID or post ID. To do that, go to the Pages section in WordPress and open the page you want to edit.

Hover your mouse cursor over the edit button, and you will see the page ID in the URL after post=.

If you click the Edit button, you will see the same in the URL bar.

So in this case, our ID is 2. Now that you know the page ID, use the following CSS code:

/* Hide footer on page */
.page-id-2 #main-footer {
    height: 0 !important;
    overflow: hidden;
}

And paste it in the Divi Customizer > Additional CSS.

That’s it! You have removed the Divi footer on that specific page.

1.3) Disable Footer on Specific Posts

Hiding the footer on specific posts is very similar to what you just did with custom pages.

First, you need to get the ID of the post. So, hover your cursor over the Edit post button to find your unique post ID.

In this case, the post ID is 1. So, the code you need to use is:

/* Hide footer on post */
.postid-1 #main-footer {
    height: 0 !important;
    overflow: hidden;
}

Remember to change the post ID according to your unique ID. After adding this CSS code to your website, you will see the changes live.

Similarly, you can remove the Divi footer from any posts on your site.

2) Hide footer with Divi’s Theme Panel

Apart from the methods we explained above, you can also hide the footer using Divi’s Theme panel. You can find it in your WP dashboard > Divi > Theme Options.

From there, you will be able to customize your entire WordPress site. Scrolling to the bottom section reveals a section for adding custom CSS.

To remove the footer in Divi, paste the same CSS code described above. Additionally, one advantage of this method is that if you make changes to the CSS code and then update your theme, it won’t affect your customizations.

Bonus: Remove and edit WordPress credits from Divi Theme

Many themes have the “powered by WordPress” credits in the footer. If you want to customize your site and make it look professional, it’s a good idea to remove the default theme. There are two ways to remove the credits from the footer:

1. With Divi Theme Customizer
2. With the WP Editor

Let’s have a look at both of them.

1. Disable WordPress credits from Divi with the Theme Customizer

Some themes allow you to remove it from the theme customizer easily, and Divi is one of them. To hide the WordPress credits from Divi, navigate to Divi > Theme Customizer > Footer > Bottom Bar.

Then, press the “Disable footer credits” button and click Save and Publish. That’s it! You’ve removed the WordPress credits from the footer.

If you want to customize the credits, instead of disabling them, edit the footer credits fields and replace them with any text you want. After that, press the Save and Publish button.

2. Remove WordPress credits from Divi with the WP Editor

Some themes don’t have the option to make changes from their customizer. So, if that’s your case, you can remove and edit the credits using the WordPress Editor. As you’ll be editing some core files, we recommend using a child theme for this.

To hide the credits, navigate to your WP dashboard, go to Appearance > Editor, and locate the footer.php file. Locate the section of code containing the “Powered by WordPress” text. You can either delete that section of the code or edit it to add any text you want.

After that, save the changes, and voila!

Troubleshooting: Footer Not Hiding or Removing in Divi

Even after applying CSS or Theme Builder settings, you may notice the Divi footer still appears. Here are common reasons and fixes:

• Cache Not Cleared – Browser or plugin caching (like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed) can store old CSS. Clear all caches and refresh your page in incognito mode.
• Incorrect CSS Selector – The footer layout may differ by Divi version. Use the browser’s Inspect Element tool to confirm the correct selector (e.g. .et-l--footer or .site-footer).
• Inline or Theme Builder Overrides – Custom layouts in the Divi Theme Builder can override your CSS. Check whether a footer template is still active and disable it if needed.
• Child Theme Functions Conflict – PHP snippets added to functions.php may block proper rendering. Temporarily disable custom code to test.
• CSS Priority Issue – Add !important or place your custom CSS inside Divi > Theme Options > Custom CSS for higher priority.
• Plugin Conflicts – Design plugins or page builders can reintroduce global footers. Deactivate all plugins except Divi to isolate the cause.
• Outdated Divi or WordPress Version – Older versions may behave inconsistently with footer hooks. Always keep Divi, WordPress, and plugins updated.

Pro Tip: Once fixed, test your footer settings across devices and viewports to ensure the footer stays hidden site-wide.
