Hi everyone, I hope you're all good

I find recently that some premium themes are free on the pirate bay .org

but I'm afraid of my google adsense account !

so my question is: is my google account will be banned or something if I use this themes ?

Nah.

The problem is that nulled themes are usually full of malware and other nasty stuff. I wouldn't recommend it.

Probably not, but nulled/free themes usually have a backdoor. Within a few months, whoever uploaded the theme will hack it.

Click to expand...

Are these bought and licenced and just shared ?

Or cracked/nulled and shared?

If they're cracked/nulled, leave them well alone.

I would never download a wordpress theme its easy to slip a little bit of code in there to easily exploit your site. Most likely backdoor access, why do you think wordpress has frequent updates? If you want premium sorry your going to have to pay. I always use the free ones anyways and they work fine.

Though I'd like to add 1 more point. Like it also depends on how much you trust the person from whom you are getting it from. Like if its a website where you pay some cheap monthly fees/premium etc get software/themes/plugins nulled by the person then it carries a bit less risk comparatively.

If you need access to premium themes, get them from @Festinger

Free stuff from GPL is fine usually but I would never torrent anything. That’s just begging for trouble.
