The header of the website usually will consist of the name of the website along with the logo. Most if the websites will have the incorporate the navigation in the header as well; but that is however optional depending on the design of the website.

It is quite easy to remove the copyright information in Joomla though it may require you to be IT savvy. To start with you will need to login to the web server via FTP. This can be tough for a person who has no knowledge on the subject. However to make it simpler, FTP is a software used to access the files on a remote server. In this case you want to access the files on your website which are located on a remote server.

Thus login to your web server using FTP and navigate to directory of your template. Now select the index.php file and download it. It is a good idea to immediately make duplicate copy of the file since the changes you make can destroy it if done wrongly. Now edit the file in your favourite editor and scroll down to the section (bottom of the file) which has code regarding copyright information. This is likely to include the links for the Privacy policy and terms and conditions as well.

You change the content as you please making sure you do not break the code. It is now time to upload your changes back on to the server. The changes will be reflected in the website once you refresh it.
