It's usually a condition that you leave the links intact.
If you can't do that then I suggest using another theme.

 

open the current theme. edit the index.php file.

use a web editor like dreamweaver. use ctrl + F and type in the text to find where exactly it comes in. be sure to select the folder as the current theme. usually it is under wp-content/themes.

just remove the block of ocde. it should work fine

 

Good advice. Using a free theme you should respect the designer.

 

If you do not want the links, do not use the theme. With most free themes, its usually in the terms that you leave the footer links in place. That way the author of the theme gets credit for their work.

But if you want to edit the footer, chmod the footer.php file to 666, then use the editor in wordpress to edit the footer.php file.

Or, download the footer.php file, open with a text editor like PSpad and change the lines of code you want.

 

Not all free themes require the footer to be left in tact. And not all Premium themes do either. But if they do you should leave them... as that is why they make them.

If they do allow editing you log on to your Wordpress Admin. Select Theme Editor. Find the footer ... and you can edit the code directly from within WordPress.

In WordPress 2.8 you do this

Log on
Appearance
Editor

now on the right you'll see "Theme Files"

Select Footer and make your changes. It's a good idea to back up first. I like to just cut and paste it into a text file before I make changes... then edit directly. If there is a mistake you can just paste the text file back in. You can always reupload the file from your theme template if you mess it up too bad.

 

I believe you mean footer.php

 

sometimes there is a code that must be edited in the Theme Functions (functions.php) instead of the Footer (footer.php)

eli

 

wp admin > appearance > theme editor > footer.php ( look on right hand side) edit and save.
if u know basic php and html.

 

Thanks for your reply All!

I pick a free wordpress template and edit it according to my requirement but the problem is that there is "Online Casino" links in footer and i don't want outgoing link with this anchor text.

deluxdon you are right, footer.php file is encrypted and i am facing some problem to remove these links.

Thanks

I suggest you to change the theme. I am sure you would find many (including plenty on this forum only)

Thx

 

Then use a different theme. The page is encrypted, it has links you do not want, and it might put your site linking to a bad neighborhood.

My opinion - its not worth it. There are thousands of free wordpress themes out there. Go find one that fits your needs.

 

I agree. It's not worth to go through all the trouble because it is encrypted. Also, the fact that it IS encrypted means that it is required that you leave the links in the footer untouched if you plan to use that free theme.

Hopefully, you find a better one.

 

You really shouldn't change the links.

That being said, the process to decrypt is here.

 

Login to wp-admin section of your blog, then in the left you will see a option Appearance, then go to themes and then editor, after that your css file will get open, on the left of that file you will see a option of footer, click on that and delete all the unwanted links from there.

 

You do see up above multiple mentions that the footer is encrypted and they can't see what they need to remove, right?

 

Thank you for the link
