 * Hi i got a free theme from a website but it has a footer thats full of things
   i dont want on my website.
 * Its ok to keep the creator link but there are several others that are bogus and
   there is even an adsense tracking code in it.
 * I found out that when i placed :
    <!–Our dear footer starts here–>
 * <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * <!–Our dear footer ends here–>
 * and checked whats the code in the footer from the browser.
 * Here is the encoded version of the footer that i would like to get decoded and
   remove the unnecessary things.
    Encoded footer – [http://pastebin.com/cKzx6kLg](http://pastebin.com/cKzx6kLg)
 *  If i remove the footer i get a warning message not to remove the footer and 
   the theme is not displaying.
 * Need help please. Got no idea with what is this thing encoded.

 * Unfortunately this encoding on my footer is tad bit different than the ones covered
   in those topics and i cant seem to get a way of figuring out what exact type 
   it is and how it can be decoded.
 * As for picking other theme that doesn’t help me at all as i like this one and
   would love to get it fixed rather than try finding different theme.

 * Regardless of the decrypted footer content you are much better off using a different
   theme.

 * @ Chris
 * Thanks for the link but it all is in turkish and i cant get whats all about even
   with google translate due to “nice” translations it spews out.
 * If someone knows how to get around this encoding and help me remove it from that
   theme that would be awesome.
