    It's called an encrypted link and it is common with free themes, so they aren't really free. Any theme designer will tell you that keeping the links is the trade off for using the theme for free and I have to agree with them.

    So the right thing to do is not to remove them, or choose another theme where you don't have to worry about it. On the other hand, I looked at the designers page and it makes no mention of having to keep the links in order to use the theme...actually it doesn't mention the links at all and doesn't show them in the demo...I think that is underhanded.

    Try this article:
    http://www.wlug.net/remove-encrypted-footer-links-wordpress-themes/
    I'd be careful using a theme that shows one thing in the demo, and has something else in the download. Who know what else is hidden in there.

    As you are using free WP theme for your blog you need to keep those footer links as it is.

    DON.

    it's not wise if you remove the credit links of the designer
