How can I remove the “Help Us to Keep Magento Healthy - Report All Bugs (ver. 1.1.6)” at the bottom of my pages?

Thanks,

Isaac

Hi Isaac,

I know the “Keep Magento Healthy” code is located in the footer.phtml file at app\design\frontend\default\YOUR_TEMPLATE\template\page\html\footer.phtml

...and I removed the Report All Bugs code (see code below), but now I get browser page errors… any ideas why? Anyone?

Line 34:
<?php echo $this->__('Help Us to Keep Magento Healthy') ?> - <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking" id="bug_tracking_link"><strong><?php echo $this->__('Report All Bugs') ?></strong></a> <?php echo $this->__('(ver. %s)', Mage::getVersion()) ?><br />

You might want to also remove the javascript code right below this.

Why not just change the text “Help us to keep Magento healthy” to “Help us to keep ‘your site’ healthy” and change the reporting link to your contact page? That way, you don’t mess about with the code and you have a communications link with your customers if there is a problem with your site.

to SteveM:  Smart advice.  Good idea.

Yes, that is a great idea… thanks!

This blog post gives an explanation as to where those links are coming from (although it was based on a 1.1.5 or earlier build I believe)

hope this helps!

So I replaced “Help Us to Keep Magento Healthy” in my footer.phtml file, and changed the reference to my own page, but nothing has changed. So obviously the whole line with that phrase and “Report All Bugs(ver 1.1.3)” is somewhere else. How can I remove it and replace it with an <a href> and different words?

Its there in footer.phtml You need to go to your admin and hit system/cache management/ and turn off the cache.  THen reload the page in your browser.

That darned pesky cache…

Try:

<!-- clark removed

<?php echo $this->__('Help Us to Keep Magento Healthy') ?> - <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking" id="bug_tracking_link"><strong><?php echo $this->__('Report All Bugs') ?></strong></a> <?php echo $this->__('(ver. %s)', Mage::getVersion()) ?><br />

clark removed end -->

<p><?php echo $this->getCopyright() ?></p>

<!-- clark removed

<script type="text/javascript\">
$(’bug_tracking_link’).target = “varien_external”;
</script>

clark removed end -->

You might want to also remove the javascript code right below this.

<?php echo $this->__('Help Us to Keep Magento Healthy') ?> - <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking" id="bug_tracking_link"><strong><?php echo $this->__('Report All Bugs') ?></strong></a> <?php echo $this->__('(ver. %s)', Mage::getVersion()) ?><br />
<script type="text/javascript">
    $('bug_tracking_link').target = "varien_external";
</script>

That’s what I did and I have no errors. I would like to know if there is a way to drop this in the admin though since there is a warning about upgrade problems in the code.

Thanks it’s work

Amber I would change the favicon icon on your website. It makes it seem as though your company is apart of Magento. you can us an image to do this at: [url=http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/]http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/[/url].

Just upload the image of your choice at this site and then they will give you a link to download the favacon. at that point just relace the default favicon in the skin/frontend//yourpackagename/yourtemplatename/favicon.ico

this will change this for you.

its different in the new templates, why not just add this code to your CSS, problem solved!

.bugs { display:none!important; }

- I call it the quick and dirty fix

I’m using the default template the one come with the fresh installation. To remove the link on the footer for “Keep Magento Healthy” code , most of the people discribe the following location in the footer.phtml file at

app\design\frontend\default\YOUR_TEMPLATE\template\page\html\footer.phtml. Since I’m not using a template my path is app\design\frontend\default\DEFAULT\

I have the following directory in my DEFAULT template “etc” and “locale”. I’m sure this is not where I need to be.....

where do I go about to reomve the link for default templete?

Thanks

The below link will be of help.

http://www.simpleservers.co.uk/clients/whmcs/knowledgebase/48/How-do-I-remove-Help-Us-to-Keep-Magento-Healthy---Report-All-Bugs.html

In version Magento ver. 1.6.2.0

/app/design/frontend/default/YOURTHEME/template/page/html and open footer.phtml

Take out this code:

Then go to System > Cache Management > Select All > Refresh > Submit.

Go back to the front end and refresh your browser.

DONE!
