how to encrypt wordpress footer ?

hi
i m about to design wordprees templetes
so if anyone can help me and tell me how i encrypt its footer so if anyone remove my copyrights the website doesnt work
and a phrase appear like this
All the links in the footer should remain intact. All of these links are family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way.

thanks

 

Here is a link to decode your footers using base 64.

thank you
but its easy just by removing code will remove copyrights too
i saw templates where if you remove links script wont work
thats what i want

 

Anyone who has minimal coding skills can remove any protection or just ask on this forum for help, so I would not bother to add any hidden scripts there (or encode the footer), it just pisses off users (and they won't trust your template). Rude people will always find a way to achieve what they want.

 

i totaly agree with you
its just a mesure against newbs since i deal with a lot of them
thank you for coment

 

create a class
define rule to check the footer segment every time the site loads
if footer does not match with predefined codes declared before
the site will be unavailable and will show a popup message

 

You can use paid script like http://www.ioncube.com/ to encrypt your footer.

 

I said "decode" when I should have said "encode". How far you take it depends on you. Most people will not know what to do with an encrypted footer. Some, like me, are curious.

 

How much load time will that add to the site?
SEO these days requires a fast loading site.

 

You should choose sections of the template that if they are missing they will break the functionality of the website. Then encode that section :-P Hope this helps.
