TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for site owners using classic (non-block) WordPress themes who don't want visitors to know their site runs on WordPress. It removes the "Proudly powered by WordPress" credit line and, on supported themes, replaces it with a "Site Info" widget area for custom content.
