Reporting a Theme? (3 posts)

    I'm sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I don't spend a lot of time around here these days.

    How do we go about reporting a theme that's posted on wordpress.org? Last I heard they weren't allowed to hide links in the code, correct?

    The Wasteland theme:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wasteland
    It has a hidden link in the footer to emailaddresspro.com and not only this, but the author saw fit to encode the footer:

    <?php eval(base64_decode('Pz4gPGRpdiBpZD0iZm9vdGVyIj4N....

    Also, for anyone out there using this theme and wanting to get rid of the link, simply delete everything out of the footer file and replace it with:

    <div id="footer">
    
    <p><?php _e('Copyright',''); ?> © <?php print(date(__('Y',''))); ?> <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>
    &nbsp;</p>
    
    </div>
    </div></div>
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    All that does is decode the code and remove the link.

    I applaud you for posting that here, but I think it also needs to go here:

    themes

    AT

    wordpress

    DOT
    org

    and thats an email address.
