Decode WordPress Theme Footer Links | Remove Theme Links
Many times theme developers put encoded footer links in free wordpress themes that they distribute. This is done by them so that bloggers cannot remove the footer links from their blogs and it send back a credit link back to the author homepage.These encoded links are really hard for a normal blogger to decode and remove. Those who cant do this , can follow the simple tutorial below for removing footer links from wordpress themes.
1. Open your themes index.php file and find the following code
<?php get_footer(); ?>
2. Now place a HTML comment surrounding that code so that it is easy to recognize in source code
<!– footer content starts Here –> <?php get_footer(); ?> <!– footer content ends Here –>
3. Now save the changes and visit your blog
4. Right click and select View Page Source
5. Copy the HTML source shown between the two footer markers you have already set
6. Now Open footer.php file & replace that encoded information with the new HTML code

Hi I attempted to sign up to your RSS and the link seems to be broken. How can i get around this?
working just fine. please try again ..
I tried what you said in this post to remove the links on the footer of my template but when I do, the template author’s licences pop up and takes over my entire website with this big dashed red text message. This author needs to be banned from making wordpress themes in my opinion. She is putting free advertising on my site that I pay for. This template is free and if the author didn’t want us to change it up the way we want to then he/she needs to make it a paid template. From now on, before I start working on any template, I will be sure the footer is changeable. Do you know how I would go around removing her spamming links from my site? Any suggestions will be helpful.
remove all the codes in whole footer.php . Then call the image file present in the footer whose location you must save before editing the file . Simple .
One again, your idea is very
good.thank you!very much.
Thanks very good for report, I follow your blog
