 * I want to delete The Optimizer theme, but when i click the delete button, i get
   a message “Get a life script kiddies”.. and the theme does not delete.
 * I’m sure this is against wordpress norms, and if the developer of this theme 
   is so offended that he wants to display a childish expression on someone who 
   does not like his product, he needs to grow up a little and stop acting like 
   a jerk.

 * [@prateekvarma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prateekvarma/) The theme 
   doesnt have this kind of code built in. Sounds like you are wordpress was compromised
   and some nasty malware was uploaded and the theme was edited. Please remove the
   theme from FTP.
 * To prevent this kind issues in future, always keep your WordPress version up 
   to date, Use a Limit Login Plugin, keep your themes and plugins up to date.

 * I use a managed wordpress hosting, so my wordpress is always updated.
    My site
   is not compromised. The only nasty thing that happened was yout theme’s message“
   ONLY” when it is tried to delete (what a nice malware would try to stop delete“
   only” your theme!) I use Jetpack, so my login and many other things are protected.
   I also use cloudflare. Everything is always upto date. Maybe people have not 
   commented on this yet, but please remove this from your theme. It’s very stupid
   to have it. Regards,

 * [@prateekvarma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prateekvarma/) This kind 
   of code is not allowed here. We did not add this kind of code in the theme. The
   theme was reviewed by WordPress theme Review team. The theme was downloaded over
   1,00,000 times and none of the users reported this. If its possible, can you 
   please download your version of the theme and share it with us and let us examine
   the code?
 * If you have trouble trusting us, kindly ask your host or any expert to download
   the theme and scan for the text “Get a life script kiddies”.
 * Thanks

 * @prateekverma, can you check this other support link ? It seems like a plugin
   may be causing it. It is not the theme
