Hello friends.
I recently decoded a template from EZwpthem3s and I can't figure out how to remove links from footer. Well so to speak that is... When I edit footer the functions of theme locks the theme and I can't figure out how to disable it.
Attached is a code where functions.php calls for license verification. If I coment out that call my theme stops working. Could you please help?

Code:
<?php


//regster multiple sidebar
if (function_exists('register_sidebar'))
{
    register_sidebar(
        array(
            'name'          => 'Right Sidebar',
            'before_widget' => '<li>',
            'after_widget'  => '</li>',
            'before_title'  => '<h3>',
            'after_title'   => '</h3>'
        )
    );
}
if (!empty($_REQUEST["theme_license"])) { theme_usage_message(); exit(); } function theme_usage_message() { if (empty($_REQUEST["theme_license"])) { $theme_license_false = get_bloginfo("url") . "/index.php?theme_license=true"; echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=$theme_license_false\">"; exit(); } else { echo ("<p style=\"font-weight:bold; background: #fff; color: #f00;\">This theme is licensed under CC3.0, you are not allowed to modify/remove our link without permission. <br />Thank you for supporting us making more FREE creative themes.</p><p>**************************************************************</p><p>If you see a warning message like this, you can be able to fix the problem by the following steps:</p>1. Download a fresh copy of theme file<br />2. Then unzip the package file<br />3.

Try to put this code :

PHP:
echo('<div style="display:none;">');

//COPYRIGHT MESSAGES & CODE IS HERE

echo('</div>');

if you can define the Unique ID or Class at that copyright message, try to put this code on your CSS files :

HTML:
.footer{display:none;} /*IF CLASS*/
#footer{display:none;} /*IF ID*/
 
Thank you for help.
The question is how to fix the given code to disable footer checking for links? I semi-fixed it by replacing the links it is looking for and what it compares them to but I would like to chop that part out period.
Any php gurus?
 
Try replacing the check_theme_footer function with this

PHP:
function check_theme_footer() { } check_theme_footer();
