    First of all are you hosted by the said company? and secondly where did you download the theme from?

    I use the same theme on one of my sites and it does not have that link in place - got it from the original plugin developer.

    If the license from where you got ti from allows removal of links then you can remove it from the footer.php - if however they have restricted the removal or its coded in base 64 encryption then I suggest you get the theme from the original author - you find the link from within the directory plugin.

    In that case you ok to remove it - its in the footer.php or simply copy the footer.php from one of the other sites and replace the one in this site (that is if you are not keen on digging into code).

    Out of curiosity are you using any CMS ? In that case it could be hard coded into the theme . So far it doesn't look like it would be coded into the Apache server .

    Here are the procedure comes from wordpress it self.

    Open you WordPress dashboard and find the footer theme file. You will see some encrypted characters within the footer.php file.

    These are actually the code for encrypted footer section containing unwanted credit links.

    Now open up the index.PHP files and search(Ctrl+F) for the footer section .

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Now we will mark this footer section for easy identification from Firefox code view .

    Just replace the above line of PHP code with following .

    <!--Wordpress footer starts here-->

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    <!--Wordpress footer ends here

    -->

    Now save your WordPress themes' index.PHP file .

    Now Open the blog page in Firefox and press Cntrl+U. This will open the code view in Firefox .
    Now press Ctrl+F and search for our footer identification tags.

    That will be appearing in the HTML code for footer section of your WordPress theme. This section also contains the unwanted credit links. Copy everything in between identification tags and paste it your text /HTML editor. Now remove all credit links from your WordPress theme's HTML code and save .
    Now reopen the footer.php section from your WordPress theme editor and replace the encrypted code with the saved code.

    Save the footer.php and Open up your blog to see what happens now.

    @ sahaya & gracemartin,

    Just a reminder: all members are moderators and many of them take it very seriously, meaning they report the nonsense, sig-pimping one liner posts.

    You were warned...
