    It's not on any page, and it might be in several places like theme settings or hardcoded in the PHP files.

    Which theme are you using? I might not know it, but maybe there's someone who does.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    There should be a footer.php or something similar that you will need to edit. This will be in the theme/editor section, but I think you already know that.

      Jim Kirk LOL U got the helm......................

      wordpress has a footer.php file in the admin folder for admin footer, then in your contents - themes folder - theme you have a footer.php file for frontend footer!

      Now some themes have footer settings in the theme options panel! If there is no settings for the footer in theme option then using FTP or cpanel file manager grab the theme footer.php file and backup a copy and edit it and upload it back to the site!

    Usually its in the /wp-content/themes/[theme_name]/footer.php but some themes can have footer content editable in the theme options. Also, some themes have it encrypted.

      If you don't find it in any of those places look in functions.php in the theme folder. Be VERY careful if you edit it (back up the whole file first). It's not safe to just think you can reverse your edits.

        it could also be in a separate .php file which is then included in your themes footer.php

    I replaced the normal code in footer.php with this

    <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Our Blog', 'twentythirteendeux' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Powered by '.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'twentythirteendeux' ), $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ); ?></a>
    </div><!-- .site-info -->

    this uses my domain name as the powered by and updates if I move the code to another site.
