Ive got several WP themes with this crap below in the footer file and need a way to decode it so I can remove the footer links.

Anyone know how?

Advertise

try this

And you my friend are a total STAR - thank you so much as this is really useful for me. Thank you.

usually what I do is load the theme into worpdress activate it ..then go look at your site 'view source' grab the code for the footer then go into the template an replace the coded footer with the stuff you snaked from the source.

I'm trying to do the samething but this is the all that is in the footer

how can I remove or change these links?

I guess its a different system

Just Deleate everything there, usually dies the job.

Sometimes they over do the links they put into templates rel="NOFOLLOW" one and rid the rest.. lol that way you are abiding to the terms of use...(in most cases anyway)

unfortunately this site doesnt work for me it spits back out the same code I entered.

did the same for me!


If I delete those links a IMG comes up when you load the home page saying "do not remove the footer links" etc


:'(

- Open the index.php and add <!– footer start –> above the <?php get_footer(); ?> and then add <!– footer end –> below it

Code:
<!– footer start –>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
<!– footer end –>
- Save your changes and refresh the site
- Once the site has loaded view the source code and scroll down till you see the tags you added.
- Copy everything between <!– footer start –> and <!– footer end –> and use it to replace the encrypted code in the footer.php and edit as needed.
- Save changes and refresh and your footer should be updated with your changes.

Someone should make a sticky composed of effective ways to deal with encrypted footers for blog themes.

Thanks blackhataffiliate, seems like an effective way to deal with the problem.

I would be interested in seeing exactly how to decrypt the provided code in the footer file. Probably a post around someplace, but can't find an effective 1,2,3 style tutorial in how to do it.

Good idea

i know how to do it. What should you do is find another WP Themes with same title, so you can change that footer.php
That's what i gonna do..

CMIIW

The site did not work for me.
I am sending you a pm pino262!

I tried this work around but its not as simple as it seems here, since you will just be pasting pure html code into a php file --> footer.php and it wont necessarily work because the file has to be formatted correctly and have the proper hooks.

I finally got mine decrypted using the site posted above Maybe the site wasnt working when I first tried so I fixed several themes while I was at it. A few even had invisible links in the footer. I didnt even bother to use nofollow I just deleted all their links, screw em for trying that shit.

Hi guys,

Nice, i didn't know this. thank for the share.

Why not use this:
It's a wordpress plugin who check if there are encrypted links in your theme and decode it..

This is what it shows in my footer. how can I decode it?

Mate if you see the previous post, i give you an answer....
Install the plugin, look where are the problem and solve him.
I sure a 99% the problem is on the functions.php file of your theme.

If u still can't work this out, then simply open up the footer.php file, find the link that is showing up. Now use <!------> example link--> around that link..

Much more simpler and no risk method

Here's my decode... I know someone else posted it, but this is what I got.
Jouir!

It's pretty simple to be done. This is how I do it all the time (when needed).

Open up your website from browser. Go and search for bottom line that is your footer link actually (containing links), then go into footer.php file in edit mode and replace encoded part with pure html and remove links in plain html.

This does the job each and every time!

You'll need to go into your admin section, go to appearance and then to Editor. Next go to the footer section and look for the code. Be careful and always copy the code before you begin in case you mess it up you can paste it back in and adjust from there. Hope that helps

normally this is what i do in some of my websites. its been discussed already but it seems no one pay attention to it.

1. Go to your site and right click > view source
2. Find the code where its <div id="footer"> down to where it says </div>, copy it. anything in between this lines you must include so if there is another <div> and </div> copy it and paste it in notepad.
3. Go to your wordpress admin and look for the footer.php. Go down and look until you find something like <?php Get footer thing> , delete it then replace with the code you copied in the notepad.

If there is a javascript running the footer - go to your index.php, page.php, and then just delete it. Of course make a backup just incase you want to revert back to original.

That should do it. this steps applies if you want to modify headers, sidebars, etc. but be careful of the javascripts and some codings. Anyway trials make perfect save your original scripts then you can experiment until you find the style you want.

check one of my website blogentrepreneurs . net, if you need more info or how to modify your wp template just leave a message in my site. cheers..

i try to do something similar to that, and i guess i deleted the wrong parts, and it is totally ruin my wp

When I want to modify the footer of a template that is coded, I just replace that template's footer.php file with the default footer.php file that comes with Wordpress. You can edit it how ever you want then.

That only works if the only link code is hidden in footer.php.

If it references another function in another file, such as functions.php, then replacing the footer.php file as you suggest will not work and will crash the site instead.

tried everything possible - if you can find how to get the links off plz tell me -- i am soo -- OCD about the little things on my site, and this is one of them.
