I set up WordPress using the Bitnami package and I’m facing an issue with the Bitnami banner that appears at the bottom right corner of every page on my site. I’m looking for guidance on how to remove it altogether.
This banner shows up on all pages, making my website look unprofessional. I want to ensure my site is clean and free of any third-party logos.
Has anyone experienced this issue? What steps should I take to successfully remove the Bitnami banner from my WordPress pages without causing any problems?
hey, i found the solution too! just go to your wp admin, then click on appearance, then customize. under additional css, add .bitnami-banner { display: none !important; }. super easy and no need for any server stuff or restarts. it worked great for me!
Had the same issue with my first Bitnami WordPress setup. I fixed it by SSH’ing into the server and tweaking the banner module config directly. Go to /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/ and find banner.conf. Just rename it to banner.conf.bak or edit it to kill the banner completely. It’s different from messing with Apache config but gets the job done. Once you’re done, restart the whole Bitnami stack with sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart so everything picks up your changes. Banner vanished right away and stayed gone through all my WordPress updates.
Removing the Bitnami banner involves editing the configuration file. You need to locate the bitnami.conf file in the directory /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/. Once you find it, comment out the lines that pertain to the banner by adding a # symbol. After making these changes, don’t forget to restart Apache using the command sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache. This process should eliminate the banner without affecting your WordPress site’s functionality. It’s prudent to ensure you have backups before proceeding.
