[jesscga]

Steps to replicate

1. Install Lodestar theme
2. Go to Customize > Site Identity.
3. Choose WordPress.com logo from dropdown menu under Footer Credits
4. Change Site Language to Polish (PL)

Result

WordPress logo appears with AUTOR MOTYWU: AUTOMATTIC after it

Expected

WordPress logo should appear, no other text

Similar issue in 1424688-zen Informing the user that it is a known issue!

[ivan-ottinger]

If anyone else comes around the same bug, you can use the following custom CSS code to hide the extra text (until the bug is fixed):

/* Hides footer credit because of a bug | XX #XXXXXX-zen */
.site-footer .site-info .wrap {
    visibility: hidden;
}

Similar Issue in: 7489447-hc Informed the user this is a known issue. User: [email protected] Site logementsain.ca

CSS workaround to provide the user temporarily until bug is fixed.

/--- Add WP logo to footer/ ck ---/ .footer.left a { visibility: hidden; } .footer.left a:before { content: ""; display: block; width: 24px; height: 24px; background-image: url(https://automattic.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/wpcom-wmark-wte.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 100%; visibility: visible; }
