how to encrypt a link for wordpress theme

Hello, I have almost finished my first wordpress theme customized.
I have no idea how to encrypt the links in the footer, anyone can help me?

 

I personally hate it when people spam the footer of their design. If a webmaster really wants to know one designed it they can check the css.

 

What do you mean, encrypt?

 

Maybe you were looking for this: http://www.iwebtool.com/html_encrypter

 

I think zend encryption would offer a better alternative. Or check base64 use it on a few parts of your code then base 64 again some other part with key php functions and checks if your code is still there don't forget to scramble it good, should keep those rippers at bay or at least busy.

Thanks a lot Yankzilla; Thanks to 007c too but I can't visit your link http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.base64-decode.php

I will try later.

 

Must be because of regional server issues try replacing ca3 with www. the thing is with java your links won't have any seo weight/value. Don't know if this will matter to what your doing or not tho.

 

Thanks I have been needing a HTML encrypt program but never taken the time to look for one. Saved me some effort.

Appreciate the help

 

I'm doing WordPress theme design and I was thinking to sell them. I saw that everybody encrypt the footer.php to protect the links.

Please tell me if you know this market.

 

Well you can encrypt any part of the file itself using the JS method I mentioned above, but the user will be able to delete the encrypted JS, and just substitute their own html. Unless you want the whole footer encrypted (which I don't think is smart because many people would like to change some things), then there isn't a feasible alternative that won't allow them to change the links at the bottom.

 

I have always used this to encrypt wordpress footers

http://www.rightscripts.com/phpencode/

just enter the footer.php content there and click on encode, then replace the new content with the old content and you are done

 

So you suggest me to keep the footer.php not encrypted. Thanks.

 

Thanks

Do you encrypt your footer.php in your themes?
