you can still remove the “Powered By: AbanteCart” text by editing the footer.tpl file in your template folder. Simply delete or comment out the line with <?php echo $text_powered; ?> and clear the cache afterward. However, this change may be lost after future updates unless you use a custom theme.

Thank you very much for this extremely useful sharing! I just tried to delete the line “Powered By: AbanteCart” according to the instructions and it was very quick and solved the problem that I have been annoyed with for a long time.
