Credit remains on many third-party themes
The credit removal fails on many third-party themes, so site owners keep asking for each theme to be added one by one.

What's going wrong
Owners of many different third-party WordPress themes, including multipurpose, blog-style and niche designs, find that the Powered by WordPress line still shows after they install a removal plugin. Most of their support topics ask for one specific theme to be added to the supported list, while others report that a custom footer or a site-info widget does not hide the credit. The plugin only works with a narrow set of handpicked themes, so every new theme becomes a separate request. A tool that detects the footer credit on any theme and hides it without per-theme code would serve these owners well.
