Thread: Remove Footer Links from newwpthemes

sevenheavenxs - If you still need help, let me know...just saw your post. You need to decode the next set of encrypted code - it contains the links.

sebestian - In functions.php, you need to decrypt the code and you should get this:

Code:

function check_theme_footer() { $uri = strtolower($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); if(is_admin() || substr_count($uri, "wp-admin") > 0 || substr_count($uri, "wp-login") > 0 ) { /* */ } else { $l = 'Changed the footer'; $f = dirname(__file__) . "/footer.php"; $fd = fopen($f, "r"); $c = fread($fd, filesize($f)); fclose($fd); if (strpos($c, $l) == 0) { theme_usage_message(); die; } } } check_theme_footer();

Whatever links and text you edit in the above code, you also need to edit in the footers.php to make sure it is the same:

Code:

 *Spam* *Spam* // All links in the footer should remain intact. 
*Spam**Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam*// These links are all family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way. 
*Spam**Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam*// Warning! Your site may stop working if these links are edited or deleted *Spam*?>
*Spam**Spam* *Spam* *Spam* *Spam*Changed the footer

The link and text must match exactly!

Let me know if you guys have any questions or need more help.

You sir, are a God in my book this evening. I'm certainly not a coder and pretty dim by established standards, but I managed to make this work. I couldn't have done it, had you not explained it so well. Thank you so much!

Hello Nativepro,
I really hope that you can help me too.
I triede following the steps in you'r earlier post, but it didn't work for me.

I am using the iGifts theme from newWPthemes.com - iGifts | New WordPress Themes

This theme is slightly different, because the links are in the sidebar, camouflaged as "Blogroll".

In "functions.php" i have the following base64 encryption:

Code:

eval(base64_decode('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'));

I have decrypted it using Free online base64 encoder and decoder based on php script, and i got the following:

Code:

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_\">"; exit(); } else { echo ("<p style=\"padding:10px; margin: 10px; text-align:center; border: 2px dashed Red; font-family:arial; font-weight:bold; background: #fff; color: #000;\">This theme is released free for use under creative commons licence. All links in the footer should remain intact. These links are all family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way. This great theme is brought to you for free by these supporters.</p>"); } }

In the sidebar.php i have the following code:

Code:

<?php // This theme is released free for use under creative commons licence. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
        // All links in the sidebar should remain intact. 
        // These links are all family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way. 
        // Warning! Your site may stop working if these links are edited or deleted  ?>
        <ul><li><h2>Blogroll</h2><ul><li><a href="http://www.present-recommendations.com/">Gift Ideas</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.geschenk-empfehlungen.com/">Geschenk Empfehlungen</a></li></ul></li></ul>
        
		<?php if(get_theme_option('ad_sidebar1_bottom') != '') {
		?>
		<div class="sidebaradbox">
			<?php echo get_theme_option('ad_sidebar1_bottom'); ?>
		</div>
		<?php
		}
		?>

I really hope that you can help me too, thanks alot !

Hi Nativepro,

Thank you so much for the reply post. It worked.

Would you be able to tell if there is other malicious codes in the theme?

Thank you so much. You have made my day!

i haven't really looked much more into the code - if you run into problems with something else, let me know and i'll take a look at it.
