    Yesterday I downloaded some wordpress themes from a site. I have found that the footer files are encrypted. Below is the link of the footer file. Please someone help me how to decode this encrypted php file.

    Code (markup):
    Though I don't know how to decode the php file I have found that the encryption has been done using Free PHP Encoder of the following site.

    hi,

    I think, the owner of the theme encoded it to be don't changed by others. (his/her signature link etc.)

    So, if you want to modify other things in footer, I advise you to contact the designer of the theme..

    Regards.

    Thanks for your reply. The owner encoded some links in the footer which works as backlink for other sites. The links just rotates and a pop up comes out. I don't like this at all.

    My site is PR4 site and if I use this footer file than only I will lose. And I should also state here that some of my traffic exchange site don't allow popup at all.

    I have already send an email to the author of the theme but yet to receive the reply so I opened the thread here thinking that I will get proper solution.

    So far I know that "wordpress is a open source script".If someone encrypts some of its parts isn't he violating the theme of open source scripting???

    I have decoded the file and I don't see any sign of direct popups. Also, encoding the theme is not against rules they are not encoding WP itself and distributing it, they are merely protecting their source.

    I will not be sending the decoded source, so please don't ask.

    You can simply use another theme.

    Thanks for decoding the file and keeping it to yourself.I simply asked for help from fellow webmasters. If you aren't in mode of helping someone please don't reply in this thread.

    I don't know why you don't see any sign of direct popups but I get popups when I switch to the theme to which the footer belongs to.

    Nafis don't take it personally, man :) Why not find a similar theme with no links?

    I have found better themes than this. But I am determined to use only this theme. If I don't get any help from you; my friends than after trying & searching for a few days I might get the solution or decode the file myself. But non supportive mentality is not good. A forum is a place where we will share and help each other; isn't it?

    The file is copyrighted and if I give it to you then I'd be committing something illegal.

    No problem. You have decoded the copyrighted script which is also illegal from your viewpoint. :D Please I request if you don't want to help someone don't restrain others from helping someone.

    Please tell us wich program you use to decode, that's free to ask from a dutch guy (medelander ;))

    I've already decoded the file and indeed it uses random 'links'

    Contact the author if you like to remove this, i'm also not going to send you the decoded file! so also don't ask me ;)

    there must be some other file where they must be decoding it

    Its not base64 format

    Normally the decoding function is there as PHP will not simply execute it

    Look in other files where variable $oo is decoded

    Regards
