How to remove the ‘Powered by SiteGround cPAddons’ message from the MediaWiki footer?

hostlantern 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 includes/Skin.php and locate the following line (line number 1406):

$img = '<a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/"><img src="'.$url.'" alt="Powered by MediaWiki" /></a><br /></a> Powered by SiteGround <a href="http://www.siteground.com/" target="_blank" title="Web Hosting">Web Hosting</a>';

Remove this section from it:

Powered by SiteGround <a href="http://www.siteground.com/" target="_blank" title="Web Hosting">Web Hosting</a>
