How to hide text link

Hi,

I installed a translation feature on my web site and there is a text link to the developer's web site which also appears on the feature. While I understand that the developer wants traffic to his web site, my readers are finding this very distracting.

Can anyone tell me which file I can find the link in order to remove it? Is it in the php file or the css file and how do I recognise it?

Thanks for your help!

If im guessing right and its a Wordpress page, just check out sources of translator plugin.
Or e.g. search for "Bens Translator" text.

But be aware that there can be some license restrictions. Check them out first :)

If you don't already have it installed get Firebug http://getfirebug.com/; then right click and say "Inspect element". This will highlight the specific element when you hover over it. maxx99 makes a good point about the license and restrictions related to it so have a look if you can actually remove the stuff you want to; a good idea might be to contact the author of the plug-in.

Thanks guys.

I have searched all the .php files and there is no Ben Translator text in any of them. Any specific file I should look at?

Okay, let me check the license issue ..

How did you search all the .php files? I just downloaded it and found it right away. I'm not saying where though, since the line you want to remove is preceded by these two lines:

Code: Select all

  //Please keep my link, I provide this plugin for free :)
  //or you can move it to another location
So since the author requests it be left in, you should probably contact him and ask him that if you donate, can you remove it (or just as stated, remove it and add it somewhere else on the page, like the footer of your template.)

Okay Greg, thanks. I guess he might allow me if I donate to his work.

Appreciate it.
