title: Hiding Javascript Function File from WordPress Theme Footer
body: <p>I'm currently building up my website in WordPress using the Bard theme by WP Royal. However, no matter what I do, I couldn't find the way to remove the vertical line (&quot;|&quot;) that is displaying between the copyright and the name of the theme. Regarding the name of the theme, I was able to use CSS to hide that part. Unfortunately, that vertical line is quickly generated.</p>
  <p>I've watched the coding of the footer and found this section.</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;div class=&quot;copyright-info&quot;&gt;
  
                      &lt;?php
  
  
  
                      $copyright = bard_options( 'page_footer_copyright' );
  
                      $copyright = str_replace( '$year', date_i18n( 'Y' ), $copyright );
  
                      $copyright = str_replace( '$copy', '&amp;copy;', $copyright );
  
  
  
                      echo wp_kses_post( $copyright );
  
  
  
                      if ( $copyright !== '' ) {
  
                          esc_html_e( ' | ', 'bard' );
  
                      }
  
  
  
                      ?&gt;
  
  
  
                      &lt;span class=&quot;credit&quot;&gt;
  
                          &lt;?php
  
                          $theme_data = wp_get_theme();
  
                          /* translators: %1$s: theme name, %2$s link, %3$s theme author */
  
                          printf( __( '%1$s Theme by &lt;a href=&quot;%2$s&quot;&gt;%3$s.&lt;/a&gt;', 'bard' ), esc_html( $theme_data-&gt;Name ), esc_url( 'http://wp-royal.com/' ), $theme_data-&gt;Author );
  
                          ?&gt;
  
                      &lt;/span&gt;
  
  
  
                      &lt;?php 
  
                          wp_nav_menu( array(
  
                              'theme_location'    =&gt; 'footer',
  
                              'menu_id'           =&gt; 'footer-menu',
  
                              'menu_class'        =&gt; '',
  
                              'container'         =&gt; 'nav',
  
                              'container_class'   =&gt; 'footer-menu-container',
  
                              'depth'             =&gt; 1,
  
                              'fallback_cb'       =&gt; false
  
                          ) );
  
                      ?&gt;

  <p>Apparently, the main culprit is the line <em>esc_html_e( ' | ', 'bard' );</em>. Unfortunately, I have no idea about Javascript (and even PHP), so I'm curious if there's some way to hide this in the child theme. <a href="http://www.antdogs.com/thewemdb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This is the site in question</a>.</p>
  <p>Beforehand, I want to apologise if there was any kind of brutality/ignorance from my part, I have started using WordPress less than a month ago and the only knowledge I have is HTML and CSS.</p>
  <p>Best regards.</p>
