How to remove the ‘Powered by hostlantern cPAddons’ message from the Magento footer?

SiteGround offers a customized cPAddons tool for easy automatic installation of several popular applications. All SiteGround packaged applications in cPanel's cPAddons have a link "Powered by SiteGround cPAddons" in their footer.

The purpose of this link is to make the installations easily recognizable, as well as to popularize the tool so that more people can take advantage of the easy application management options it provides.

We don't recommend removing the link, but if you are sure you want to remove it, here's how to do it:

These instructions require you to edit a certain file. You can use the cPanel -> File Manager -> Code editor tool for easy file modification.

Find the file app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/footer.phtml in the Magento installation folder and remove the following line (around line number 31):

<a href=http://hostlantern.com/clients/knowledgebase.php  target=_blank>Powered by SiteGround cPaddons</a><br>

You will also need to reload the Magento cache from the administrator back-end -> System -> Cache Management -> Select "Refresh" from the drop-down menu next to "All Cache" -> Save Cache Settings.
