I'm using the Obscorp theme and can't change the footer. The code for the footer appears like the example below. I don't mind crediting the author but want to clean up my footer links with something more relevant like a privacy policy and about page. I emailed the developer about purchasing the theme, but in the meanwhile, is this something that can be done, is legal and OK, and I'm ready to have it done TOMORROW so whatever is a good price, shoot me a message! If this can be done easily myself, someone please enlighten me, it's killing me. Thank you! I don't know how to work with this, or even when I'm looking at. Not like any other theme's footer, but I've only used a couple, so I assume this is just some sort've copy-protection. Anyway, example of footer.php: <?php $_F=__FILE__;$_X='Pz48P3BocA0KLyoqDQogKiBUaDUgdDVt cGwxdDUgZjJyIGQ0c3BsMXk0bmcgdGg1IGYyMnQ1ci4NCiAqDQ ogKiBDMm50MTRucyB0aDUgY2wyczRuZyAyZiB0aDUgNGQ9bTE0 biBkNHYgMW5kIDFsbCBjMm50NW50DQogKiAxZnQ1ci4gIEMxbG xzIHM0ZDViMXItZjIydDVyLnBocCBmMnIgYjJ0dDJtIHc0ZGc1 dHMuDQogKg0KICogQHAxY2sxZzUgVzJyZFByNXNzDQogKiBAcz NicDFjazFnNSBPYnNjMnJwDQogKi8NCj8+DQoJPC9kNHY+PCEt LSAjbTE0biAtLT4NCiAgICANCgk8IS0tIDRuY2wzZDUgbyBjMm wzbW4gcDFuNWwgYzJudDE0bjVyIC0tPg0KCTw/cGhwIDRmKCg0c19oMm01KCkgfHwgNHNfZnIybnRfcDFnNSgpKS AmJiBnNXRfMnB0NDJuKCIyYnNjMnJwX2Q0c3BsMXlfczVydjRj NXMiKSA9PSAiMm4iKSA6ID8+DQogICAgPGQ0diA0ZD0icDFuNW xzIiBjbDFzcz0iYzJudDE0bjVyXzZhIGNsNTFyZjR4Ij4NCiAg ICAJPD9waHAgIHEzNXJ5X3Ayc3RzKCdzaDJ3cDJzdHM9NiZwMW c1XzRkPScuZzV0XzJwdDQybigiMmJzYzJycF9zNXJ2NGM1X3Ax ZzU2IikpOyB3aDRsNSAoaDF2NV9wMnN0cygpKSA6IHRoNV9wMn N0KCk7ID8+DQogICAgICAgIAk8P3BocCA0bmNsM2Q1KCJwMW41 bC5waHAiKTsgPz4NCiAgICAgICAgPD9waHAgNW5kd2g0bDU7IH dwX3I1czV0X3EzNXJ5KCk7IC8vIGY0cnN0ID8+DQogICAgICAg IA0KICAgICAgICA8P3BocCAgcTM1cnlfcDJzdHMoJ3NoMndwMn N0cz02JnAxZzVfNGQ9Jy5nNXRfMnB0NDJuKCIyYnNjMnJwX3M1 cnY0YzVfcDFnNWEiKSk7IHdoNGw1IChoMXY1X3Ayc3RzKCkpID ogdGg1X3Ayc3QoKTsgPz4NCiAgICAgICAgCTw/cGhwIDRuY2wzZDUoInAxbjVsLnBocCIpOyA/Pg0KICAgICAgICA8P3BocCA1bmR3aDRsNTsgd3BfcjVzNXRfcT M1cnkoKTsgLy8gZjRyc3QgPz4NCiAgICAgICAgDQogICAgICAg IDw/cGhwICBxMzVyeV9wMnN0cygnc2gyd3Ayc3RzPTYmcDFnNV80ZD 0nLmc1dF8ycHQ0Mm4oIjJic2MycnBfczVydjRjNV9wMWc1byIp KTsgd2g0bDUgKGgxdjVfcDJzdHMoKSkgOiB0aDVfcDJzdCgpOy A/Pg0KICAgICAgICAJPD9waHAgNG5jbDNkNSgicDFuNWwucGhwIi k7ID8+DQogICAgICAgIDw/cGhwIDVuZHdoNGw1OyB3cF9yNXM1dF9xMzVyeSgpOyAvLyBmNH JzdCA/Pg0KICAgIDwvZDR2Pg0KICAgIDw/cGhwIDVuZDRmOyA/Pg0KCTwhLS0gNW5kIHAxbjVscyAtLT4NCg0KDQoJPGQ0diA0ZD 0iZjIydDVyIiByMmw1PSJjMm50NW50NG5mMiI+DQoJCTxkNHYg NGQ9ImMybDJwaDJuIj4NCg0KPD9waHANCgkvKiBBIHM0ZDViMX IgNG4gdGg1IGYyMnQ1cj8gWTVwLiBZMjMgYzFuIGMxbiBjM3N0 Mm00ejUNCgkgKiB5MjNyIGYyMnQ1ciB3NHRoIGYyM3IgYzJsM2 1ucyAyZiB3NGRnNXRzLg0KCSAqLw0KCWc1dF9zNGQ1YjFyKCAn ZjIydDVyJyApOw0KPz4NCg0KCQkJPGQ0diA0ZD0iczR0NS1nNW 41cjF0MnIiIGNsMXNzPSJjbDUxcmY0eCI+DQogICAgICAgICAg ICAgICAgPHNwMW4gY2wxc3M9Imw1ZnQiPlAydzVyNWQgYnkgPD EgaHI1Zj0iPD9waHAgNWNoMiA1c2NfM3JsKCBfXygnaHR0cDov L3cycmRwcjVzcy4ycmcvJywgJzJic2MycnAnKSApOyA/PiIgdDR0bDU9Ijw/cGhwIDVzY18xdHRyXzUoJ1M1bTFudDRjIFA1cnMybjFsIFAzYm w0c2g0bmcgUGwxdGYycm0nLCAnMmJzYzJycCcpOyA/PiIgcjVsPSJnNW41cjF0MnIiPlcycmRwcjVzczwvMT4gMW5kID wxIGhyNWY9Ijw/cGhwIDVjaDIgNXNjXzNybCggX18oJ2h0dHA6Ly93cGNyM25jaH kuYzJtLycsICcyYnNjMnJwJykgKTsgPz4iIHQ0dGw1PSI8P3Bo cCA1c2NfMXR0cl81KCdGcjU1ICYxbXA7IFByNW00M20gVzJyZH ByNXNzIFRoNW01cycsICcyYnNjMnJwJyk7ID8+IiByNWw9Imc1 bjVyMXQyciI+V3BjcjNuY2h5PC8xPjwvc3Axbj4NCiAgICAgIC AgICAgICAgICA8c3AxbiBjbDFzcz0icjRnaHQiPkQ1czRnbjVk IGJ5IDwxIGhyNWY9Imh0dHA6Ly8vd3d3Lm0yMm5iNG5nMi5jMm 0vIiB0MXJnNXQ9Il9ibDFuayI+QjRuZzI8LzE+LiBJbiBjMmxs MWIycjF0NDJuIHc0dGggPDEgaHI1Zj0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy5oMn N0di5jMm0iIHQxcmc1dD0iX2JsMW5rIj5WUFMgSDJzdDRuZzwv MT4sIDwxIGhyNWY9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cuaDJzdHI1djQ1d2c1NW tzLmMybSIgdDFyZzV0PSJfYmwxbmsiPkNoNTFwIFc1YiBIMnN0 NG5nPC8xPiAxbmQgPDEgaHI1Zj0iaHR0cDovL21tMmgzdC5jMm 0iIHQxcmc1dD0iX2JsMW5rIj5NTU8gRzFtNXM8LzE+PC9zcDFu Pg0KCQkJPC9kNHY+PCEtLSAjczR0NS1nNW41cjF0MnIgLS0+DQ oNCgkJPC9kNHY+PCEtLSAjYzJsMnBoMm4gLS0+DQoJPC9kNHY+ PCEtLSAjZjIydDVyIC0tPg0KDQo8L2Q0dj48IS0tICN3cjFwcD VyIC0tPg0KDQo8P3BocA0KCS8qIEluczVydCBjM3N0Mm0gZjIy dDVyIHNjcjRwdCAtIHY0MSB0aDVtNSAycHQ0Mm4NCgkgKi8NCg k0ZihnNXRfMnB0NDJuKCIyYnNjMnJwXzVuMWJsNV9mMjJ0NXJj MmQ1IikgPT0gIjVuMWJsNSIpIHsNCgkJNWNoMiBnNXRfMnB0ND JuKCIyYnNjMnJwX2YyMnQ1cmMyZDUiKSAuICJcbiI7DQoJfQ0K CQ0KCQ0KCS8qIEFsdzF5cyBoMXY1IHdwX2YyMnQ1cigpIGozc3 QgYjVmMnI1IHRoNSBjbDJzNG5nIDwvYjJkeT4NCgkgKiB0MWcg MmYgeTIzciB0aDVtNSwgMnIgeTIzIHc0bGwgYnI1MWsgbTFueS BwbDNnNG5zLCB3aDRjaA0KCSAqIGc1bjVyMWxseSAzczUgdGg0 cyBoMjJrIHQyIHI1ZjVyNW5jNSBKMXYxU2NyNHB0IGY0bDVzLg 0KCSAqLw0KDQoJd3BfZjIydDVyKCk7DQo/Pg0KPC9iMmR5Pg0KPC9odG1sPg==';eval(base64_decode(' JF9YPWJhc2U2NF9kZWNvZGUoJF9YKTskX1g9c3RydHIoJF9YLC cxMjM0NTZhb3VpZScsJ2FvdWllMTIzNDU2Jyk7JF9SPWVyZWdf cmVwbGFjZSgnX19GSUxFX18nLCInIi4kX0YuIiciLCRfWCk7ZX ZhbCgkX1IpOyRfUj0wOyRfWD0wOw=='));?>
Okay... I'll need to hire someone to recreate a stock footer that appears the same, with an About and Privacy page, rather than those links I'm stuck with now. I have no idea how to create a footer.php that would work... I've been at this Wordpress thing about 3mos, and am still, sadly, a plug-and-play guy. ;-) Thanks for the FAST reply!
Hello there mate, I am the author of the theme and i'll be glad if you will purchase the license for proper and legal way of modifying the footer. In case you emailed me and i have not replied, send payment directly via paypal to or read more details here
I'm so glad to see you posted here and responded! I actually posted my question to you on your support forum, in the theme customization area. I said email, but that's what I meant - I can't believe the answer to my question was right in the contact us section. $35 for link removal - I've been trying to figure this out for like two days, wanting to do it without screwing anyone, and the answer was right on your page, haha. I'm a ditz sometimes... Thanks, buddy. I've got some really great reviews of my site @ favtrip.com and it's because of your wonderful theme.
