How do i encrypt a footer link on a wordpress template ?

I have had some WP templates designed that i want to release with my link at the bottom.

how can i encrypt it... or atleast try and stop people removeing the link back ?

 

would love to know this too.

 

I don't think you really can.. but I would recommend, besides the footer link, also have a couple tiny links elsewhere in the template so that you would get a backlink and PR anyway.. even if they remove the footer link, they probably wouldn't scour the whole template looking to remove your tiny links.

you can encrypt the footer - but that doesn't stop the user from remove all the footer's code and replacing that with his own... so, don't bother...

 

Just hide some tiny links like a 1x1 white pixel or a graphic that is already part of the template.

 

Since Wordpress templates are PHP friendly you can base64 encode/decode the link, which at the very least makes it harder for the average joe to spot the reference. I've done this before and normally include some other template related tags (closing divs, etc.) in the encoding, so if the entire block is removed it 'breaks' the template, at least to some degree...

 

That's smart..
