How to remove "Vanilla" info located in the left column

bellobellam

Hi all,
How does one remove the Vanilla advertising that appears on all the pages on the left:
"Vanilla 1.1.10 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support."

I will provide credit to Vanilla but don't want it there....
Thanks,

THE TEXT THAT APPEARS ON THE LEFT IS:
Vanilla 1.1.10 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support.

No need to capitalize things

Dykam: You tell him there is no need to capitalize and then you don't answer his question, a VERY simple one. Whatever.

bellobellam:
The best way to do this is through your css, so go into your themes folder, into the theme folder that you're using (the default is vanilla) then styles and you will find a folder called default, inside here should be a css file called "vanilla.css". Open this up in a text editor and search for "#AboutVanilla", you should probably find only three of them, one that looks like "#AboutVanilla{" and two others that look like "#AboutVanilla a", the ones that ends with "a" are simply for anchor tags, you can ignore those.

You should see something like this:
#AboutVanilla{margin:10px 0 0 0!important;border-top:1px solid #ccc;background-color:#f9f9f9;padding:3px 0 3px 0;text-align:center;color:#bbb!important;width:180px;}

You should add a snippet of code right between the first "{" and "margin:", the code is:

display:none;

This makes it so that the Div called AboutVanilla doesn't display at all, so your result should look like this:

#AboutVanilla{display:none;margin:10px 0 0 0!important;border-top:1px solid #ccc;background-color:#f9f9f9;padding:3px 0 3px 0;text-align:center;color:#bbb!important;width:180px;}

Good luck!

Well thank you so much mdr for this great css editing tip & method. Your code is what i needed, it works. Quite simple. I will credit Vanilla elsewhere on the page.
Really appreciated mdr!
