Can you not simply remove all of the encrypted text and replace it with the wordpress footer routine as detailed above? Try deleting everything in the footer file and copying this in its place: <code><div class="footer"></code> <code><?php wp_footer(); ?></code> <code></div></code> <code></body></code> <code></html></code> Obviously, if you don't have a 'footer' class defined in your CSS then you may not need the first line here (or the closing 'div' tag on line 3, either). All you are doing then is calling the standard wordpress footer in your footer file. You should see nothing where before you were seeing links. I haven't tried the theme file you made a link to, so am not sure exactly what is in that encoded block anyway. Let me know how you get on. Do you really need to decode it?

I guess my reaction is that if the theme is free it should be able to be customised and not locked down to prevent a user making changes to it. OK - there are obvious IP issues and licenses could be issued with themes to stipulate how it is to be used. If that is the case then a license file should be included within the download and possibly also be a comment in the code itself. Otherwise it simply isn't going to stand up. GNU licenses, anyone? The last part of your post refers to the rights I have to complain. Are you seriously suggesting that I *don't* have the right to complain on my own blog? You'd really take the fun out if things... ;-)</p> Ed – many thanks for taking the time to visit and add your thoughts to the post.

but I wasn’t happy with the kind of ads that appeared. One was a pay per click affiliate program, one about Asian entertainment (ooer…) and one about Philipine paradises.

here is my point of view: a blogger has the choice to use any theme out there. if they dislike themes with sponsored links, they simply don’t have to use it. but i will also release more free themes w/o sponsored links.
