Hi, I'm trying to translate some encrypted code in a WP theme I'm using. There's some site-wide outgoing footer links that I'd like to remove for SEO purposes. I can't figure out what the actual code being used is because it's all encrypted. The site is located here: http://tinyurl.com/yl42goh I have also attached the footer.php file in case it's needed. Advice Appreciated George
I assume you want the link to web-kreation removed? What about bestlaptops4u? If you wanted both removed then you could be looking at replacing the footer.php contents with this: <?php eval(base64_decode('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'));?> Code (markup): You can encode and decode base64 here: http://rumkin.com/tools/compression/base64.php
Be careful because you can have licensing issues and easily get yourself in trouble if the theme publisher does not allow you to do that.
I'm not familiar with the GPL, but there is no file included in the theme download (from the publisher) which explains the terms for usage.
I think we should avoid modifying the footer. Because 1. there can be any licensing issue and 2. the developer has worked hard to make or design the theme. So the publisher or he should have the credit
