Your question was already answered, a solution provided to you. Whether you heed the advice given is entirely up to you. But please stop with your ginormous sense of entitlement. This is a free forum; no one here is paid to be here or to help. Maybe people have paying work they need to do, maybe they’re out on the town, asleep. Or here’s one: Maybe they just don’t feel like it. Sheesh. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-decode-theme/#post-1404646) * > O M G > I have tried everything. > I have even followed his instructions. > This is a community forum right? > WHERE IS THE COMMunITY!?!?!? * Indeed, this is a _WordPress_ community. Obfuscated code seems to be something we all dislike, and there have been some great resources posted here to help see into that which has the potential to be doing harm to WordPress web sites. But, that being said, I don’t think “breaking code”, (to be polite), is a primary function of the WordPress forums. Sure, it’s a lot of fun, but that one you have there involves a couple more steps than just running it through a decoder and copy/pasting the output. * If you really, really, really, want to keep up the quest, post a download link to the theme. Break the link if you want, but just post a link to it, and identify the file in which you found the code. Maybe someone will take a look at it when they have a chance. * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-decode-theme/#post-1404767) * do not bump this topic if someone can or wants to help you they will * Thread Starter [plzhelpme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plzhelpme/) * (@plzhelpme) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-decode-theme/#post-1404783) * Yes, but they aren’t going to find a post if it is a few pages back. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-decode-theme/#post-1404784) * [@plz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plz/).help.me. * 17 hrs ago * > Where did you get the theme from? * 13 hrs ago * > post a download link to the theme.

Post the link or give the name of the darn theme already, so the complete code can be seen in context. * Thread Starter [plzhelpme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plzhelpme/) * (@plzhelpme) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-decode-theme/#post-1404812) * The name is Antisocial by Woo Themes. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-decode-theme/#post-1404848) * A) I did this for fun. * B) I tested my results only long enough to say that the theme loaded, and looked Okay. Your mileage may vary. * C) If you obtained this theme through a “share” site, I urge you not to use it at all. If you purchased a license from Woothemes, well… I guess obfuscated code in licensed versions appears to be part of their business model.
