How to Disable the Entire Footer (Above, Primary, or Below) in Astra

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to disable the Astra footer (Above, Primary, or Below) across your entire website using a simple custom code.

While Astra provides Meta Settings to disable the header or footer for individual pages or posts, using a custom filter can be quicker for a site-wide solution.

What Are the Steps to Remove the Astra Footer?

1. Open your child theme’s functions.php file.
2. Add the following code to remove the entire footer (Above, Primary, and Below):

add_action('wp', 'ast_remove_footer');

function ast_remove_footer() {
    remove_action('astra_footer', array(Astra_Builder_Footer::get_instance(), 'footer_markup'));
}

How Can You Remove Specific Footer Sections?

To remove specific sections of the footer, replace the code in the remove_action line as shown below:

Remove only the Above Footer section:

 remove_action('astra_above_footer', array(Astra_Builder_Footer::get_instance(), 'above_footer'));

Remove only the Primary Footer section:

 remove_action('astra_primary_footer', array(Astra_Builder_Footer::get_instance(), 'primary_footer'));

Remove only the Below Footer section:

 remove_action('astra_below_footer', array(Astra_Builder_Footer::get_instance(), 'below_footer'));
