Support » Everything else WordPress » hosting wp – customizing theme design

  • Hi.

    I got a free theme (True-Elegance) which allows to add ads. There’s something i’m not sure about:
    – Do i need hiring a server to hosting it necessarily? may i hosting in Wp?.
    – How do i know if theme allows customizing its design (colours, heading…) as well as its compatibility with my Wp version?.

    Thanks a lot.

  • Do i need hiring a server to hosting it necessarily?

    If you don’t have your own server where else are you going to host it? With respect to customizing it yes you customize it all you want.

    BTW, I checked out the theme you linked to. STAY AWAY from it. It contains obfuscated code in footer.php

    Hi LenK, thanks for your help!!

    Sorry, but i don’t know much about code, what do you mean with “It contains obfuscated code in footer.php”. I mean, what risks does it involve?.

    Thanks again!! ^_^

    Obfuscated code means that you don’t know what you have in your pages unless you use a decrypting software. It may contain special links that benefit only who put them in there, in the best option, and most likely to very questionable sites, otherwise they wouldn’t need to be sneaky and obfuscate them.

    They are using you and your money, since it’s you paying your hosting server to render their unknown (to you) code.

    Follow Lenk’s advice. Stay away from it!

    If you want to know more about it and see examples, so you can recognize it in the future, read
