Need programming help

PROGRAMMING

I'm far from a programmer, but I'm a little bit techie. I have a WordPress blog theme where the jerk that designed it made the footer in a way that you need base64_decode to decode it. He did that because he's got some of his own backlinks to his own sites in the footer and I guess he doesn't want anyone to remove them unless they know base64 coding. I don't even know if I'm saying this right but I know what it is, it has to be decoded in another way to put it back to PHP or something right?

Is there anyone who can help me?

Assuming you have the rights to do so, that should be pretty simple to "fix". Is the theme already on your server? If so, send me the URL to the home page and I'll be glad to take a look at it.

Thanks

you could do something like this:

Code:

<?
   function encrypt(, )
   {
       = '';

      for( = 0;  < strlen();  ++)
      {
             = substr(, , 1);
          = substr(, ( % strlen()) - 1, 1);
             = chr(ord() + ord());
          .= ;
      }

      return encode_base64();
   }

   function decrypt(, )
   {
       = '';
         = decode_base64();

      for( = 0;  < strlen();  ++)
      {
             = substr(, , 1);
          = substr(, ( % strlen()) - 1, 1);
             = chr(ord() - ord());
          .= ;
      }

      return ;
   }

   function encode_base64()
   {
       = base64_encode();

      return strtr(, '+/', '-_');
   }

   function decode_base64()
   {
       = strtr(, '-_', '+/');

      return base64_decode();
   }
?>

BUT...

if he is doing business like that to keep people from using his supposed intellectual property he could derive some other mechanism to encode it when he finds out he is being copied.

Thanks

I could just put this in my footer and replace that other junk?

Hey Jennifer

This online tool will decode it for you. You can then change it, re-encode it and put it back into the footer.

Online base64_decode() function - Online tool

Hope it helps.

Can you post your footer code? I have removed crap like that from a wordpress blog for someone before.

His license says you can modify the theme as long as you still keep the "theme created by...blah blah" and I will do that for sure, but he's got these other links to "Korean Clothing", "CD Rates" and "Bank Rates" that are forced links at the bottom of my blog that I don't like.

This is the footer, it's in base 64.
