I had installed SimplePortal mpackage on my website. But It also added a copyright line in my site's footer " SimplePortal 2.3.7 © 2008-2023, SimplePortal".
How can I simplify this copyrigt line " Credits to SimplePortal MOD".
Pls help

@rjen

That is really a question to ask the mod authors: the license may not permit you to change it

Can you tell me in which file is this copytight? Am not removing it.
I've a lot of Mods with copyrights.
I just want to align them simply in one line. Please help!

Faixan -- you MIGHT (or might not) be able to remove it, based on the license.

You can *NEVER* change it, however.   If either gets displayed as is or not at all.

there are pretty stringent rules about copyright statements.


Regardless, *WE* will never make a post explaining how or where to change or remove copyright statements -  and any answers that do so will be deleted immediately.

I will add, that if you are hoping to simply change presentation (location, size, colors) it's usually allowed up to a point  - Basically, as long as the contents of the copyright notice remain unaltered and any text stays clearly visible and readable and you are not trying to hide it.

But if you need any help doing changes like this, you should really just check with the copyright owner directly, and they may or may not help you with it - It is completely up to them.

Bro, I am happy that you understood my problem. I just want to align Different Copyrights. But I am unable to find SimplePortal Copyright. I'll not remove or hide it.

Still, this holds true.

No, your initial point was that you were going to change the wording of the simple portal copyright...

Under the circumstances, I would have thought that "Locking" the thread would be "Closing" it...
I tell it how I see it... Don't like it? Hit Alt+F4!

@DeadMan... - normally it does. I chose to just mark it solved and not lock it in this case. However, I'm locking it now.
