Generate Press copyright in footer bar?

How can I (safely) remove the GP Copyright from my footer bar. I have the premium version of GP. Tried a plugin and screwed up the website completely. I loved GP until this... now not so much
Hi Dennis,
Try this snippet here:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme','tu_remove_footer' );
function tu_remove_footer() {
remove_action( 'generate_footer','generate_construct_footer' );
}

Let me know.
Does not appear to be working. Maybe my fault... I've tried to fix it using a variety of plugins and I have managed to substitute my name by the copyright sign, on one of my sites. I have a practice site and I did it there. But I don't remember how. I inserted your code on the "Customize - additional CSS" location on that site and it had no effect. I hoped it would make the copyright thing go away. And wonder if it would have worked if I hadn't improvised earlier. http://www.dstostad.biz
On my keeper site, I used a remove from footer plugin. I'm afraid I copied the wrong code to remove. When done, the copyright thing was gone but all the layout of the page was messed up. I tried pasting the removed code back on the cusomize-additional CSS spot and it didn't help. I've tried lots of things to restore to the status before my meddling and nothing works. Including rebuilding the website using a different theme (Tesseract). With the new theme it looks like it is working but won't properly display posts, won't let me use Elementor, when I try Beaver Builder, I can't bring in photos. I'm planning to just wipe out the domain and start from scratch (hostgator says that will work if I reinstall Word Press).
My bottom line question is can I resolve this for future applications of Generate Press? I was getting to like it and very sad...
The code is not CSS. Try using Code Snippets: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/#code-snippets
Thanks Leo. Will try it. You're helping me learn a whole lot more about websites. I'm a good website creator/designer as long as I'm working within the themes. Until now, I've never heard of snippets. Thanks.
Leo, I fear I'm wasting your time because of my ignorance...
I used a snippet plugin and got rid of the offending copyright. Also got rid of the footer bar. So I just used one of the footer widgets and was able to enter text that displayed. But I can't change the colors in the new footer. It is white background. Not sure I'll hate that but I like to control.
Aha! I found a way to do the color things.
You're a genius! Thanks. Maybe I will keep using Generate press...
No problem!
