• Hey guys,

    I installed a theme. When I went to change the content in the footer, eg, I wanted to change 2008 to 2010 and get rid of the weight diet ad, the code looks like this:

    <?php eval(base64_decode('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'));?>

    What the hell is that?!

  • My guess would be that the developer of the theme has encoded the footer contents so you can’t easily edit them. I take it there’s a “This theme was developed by xxx” in the footer?

    Depending on what the footer contains you could easily enough replace the line with raw HTML for what you need – obviously adding back in the developer’s link if there was one there before 😉

    Often there is also a function in functions.php that makes sure you haven’t removed the developer’s credit.
