    Hi Guys,

    I have a question here, I have seen many selling sponsor in wordpress themes claiming:

    "If you remove or edit your footer link the theme will not work".

    The question is, how to do that with your own theme?

    Use truebug.com to protect your PHP source code from modification.

    DON.

    truebug.com will just make it less human readable.

    for that they usually pack an eval() around some string functions like base64 or rot13.

    to make these, just take the footer html and put in in the the reverse function

    Thanks for the answers, but I have seen wordpress themes with a clean html "<a href="sd.........." without any decoding or anything else. When I edited the links the theme will stop working. (just editing or adding another links). How is that possible?

    I'm guessing either someone has put some more code in a different html file saying that if you edit the footer code from something, it shuts down the theme. Without that specific code, your theme won't work, however it seems unlikely. Or, the publishers has just lied about it, because it would be a very complex code. You should just encrypt the theme really, most people don't know how to decrypt it.
