Need to delete footer links on WP theme

zzuumy · Jan 16, 2013

Please, If someone can help me and delete these links, I would be very grateful.

link for theme : smthemesDotCom/ladiesjournal/

Thank you all, I really would like to have this theme.

There is a thread with a plugin to do that somewhere around here. I suggest you find it.

Not trying to be mean, just letting you know you should SEARCH before you ask.

Good luck.

EDIT: Seems you already found a thread with the link to that plugin but still not the plugin itself. lol

Apperance -> editor -> footer.php -> there you find the link and delete it, preferably along with the <a></a> tags surrounding it.

^^ Follow the advise given above next time before creating a new thread for any question.
For now, check the script in this thread, it might help you in removing the footer links.

Login to your wordpress dashboard. Click on appearance on the left and then select editor from the drop down menu.Now that you are on the editor, look to your right hand side, there should be a bunch of links, look for footer (footer.php) and click on it.Now just delete or edit out the links that you dont want and save it.Enjoy, if it helped you please click the thanks button

Are these links encrypted with base64 or other?

zzuumy · Jan 16, 2013

I can't edit this theme just like this Apperance -> editor -> footer.php -> edit... beacouse then theme stop working. This link in footer are protected with some function .. but i don't know php very well..

affiliatematt · Jan 16, 2013

Have you checked the functions.php file for a reference of some kind to the footer?

Code:

Doesn't work, it isn't that simple.
A security function is coded and it breaks down the template if you try to edit the footer.

MatthewWoodward · Jan 17, 2013

Really? You can't find the linked words in that code yourself?

When you look at the site one of the links uses the anchor text 'wordpress themes 2012'

Have you even looked at the code..... ?

:mmm: As i said, there is a security function coded, and it's not in the bottom.php.

Conor · Jan 17, 2013

Can't help you there bro. Try hack your functions.php apart in FTP I suppose... Or recreate it in a free theme like Thematic or something... Or just buy the theme like the website suggests...

rashad_007 · Jan 27, 2013

i've been through the same prob!is there no one who can help?pls guys, its kinda urgent and a big challenge!!!

rashad_007 · Jan 27, 2013

Thank you all, I really would like to have this theme.

I found your post because I was looking for the same answer for this family of themes. The code cannot be changed or removed without breaking the theme, either in the footer, functions or any other file EXCEPT the stylesheet

What you do is add find the element that controls the text in the footer and then add this attribute:

Code:

visibility:hidden;

you can even remove the footer height and border there to make room to...

add your own footer credits?

go to the bottom.php file and just above the body tag create a new div and enter your information. create a new id for this div and style to match the old footer, viola!

eterxx · Feb 6, 2013

The protecting function is probably in functions.php or another file, try searching for it

redchillies · Feb 9, 2013

Open your index.php file and look for this code:
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Put this on either side of it:


&



Now open your site in the browser and view the page source.

Everything in between is the actual footer code...copy it, and replace your footer.php code with it.

Now edit the footer.php any way you like.
