Remove Bitnami Banner from AWS WordPress Template

I’ve recently moved over to hosting and am now using AWS.

As I’m lazy I decided to use the Bitnami Pre-configured Template, however it comes with an annoying banner in the bottom right corner, to remove it, simply access the server via SSH and enter following command

sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig –disable_banner 1

The you’ll need to restart Apache with the following command

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

That’s it, the banner will now be gone 🙂

  1. hi, I am trying to remove the Bitnami banner too, but i am new to using AWS.
    Can you teach me how to access the server with SSH?
    Also, i have no idea how to restart the Apache.
    Your advice can be very valuable. Please help.

    Thanks!

    1. Hi JK

      Connecting to AWS via SSH is a little bit tricky as you need the Certificates and Keys. I would recommend using PuTTY, Amazon have done a guide of how you do it, you can find that here – http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html

      To restart the appache server you can use this command – sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

      Worst case you can just restart the whole the instance in AWS 🙂
