Footer problems, probably simple to solve
-
Currently I’m reconstructing my blog with a static front page, and I have finally found a theme I was reasonably happy with and have been creating a child theme from it. All is going well, but…
If you visit the under-construction site (http://www.jimross.co.uk/blog) then it includes some daft ads in the very footer for various things. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get rid of them. I have tried editing the footer.php but it usually just screws it up. CSS I can cope with but I have no idea with PHP. How do I remove this gubbins?
Current footer.php contents:
<div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <?php get_sidebar('foot'); ?> <div id="footer"> <div id="footer-pad" class="append-clear"> <p class="copyright"> <?php echo sprintf(__('Copyright © %1$s. %2$s. All rights reserved.', PADD_THEME_SLUG), date('Y'), get_bloginfo('name')); ?> </p> <?php padd_theme_credits(); ?> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <?php wp_footer(); ?> <?php $tracker = Padd_Theme_Option::get('tracker_bot',''); if (!empty($tracker)) { echo stripslashes($tracker); } ?> </body> </html>

By ads, do you mean the “Designed by…” stuff? I would assume that this line:
<?php padd_theme_credits(); ?>is the culprit.
Cheers, it is that but when I remove that it causes the whole thing to crash until I put it back in. There is some sort of nefarious encoded code going on (google Padd Solutions and look for other wordpress forum results).
They’re scumbags basically, I have ditched it and am trying other themes…
Yeah, some not so awesome theme authors/distributors rig their own links/ads to kill the site if someone tries to remove them. The official theme repository is a good place to look for themes written by awesome people.
Hello JimGR,
there will be a function called padd_theme_credits() in your theme functions.php file.Search for it and remove the code inside the function or remove the return statement in that function.
Hope this will work.
I did like this for one of my theme to work.[sig moderated as per the Forum Rules]
this problem is caused by a number of things:
– the content of the spam footer is coming from \library\prelude.php which includes a coded stuff.
– delete the contents of this file (prelude.php)
– and inside your footer.php add this code (above <?php padd_theme_credits(); ?> )
<p class=”copyright”>© 201x. Company. All rights reserved.</p>
<div class=”clear”></div>that should do it.
leave the <?php padd_theme_credits(); ?> as is it!!!
