   Hello

   I need help, because I am an idiot.
   A wanted to put the google analytics code to my template's code in editor, and I was suggested to put it into the footer. I did it and it was a huge mistake, because it said this: "This theme is sponsored, all links in the footer should remain intact". I wanted to undo it, but I couldn't. I closed the window and since then I haven't been able to log in. If I want the homepage, it shows the above mentioned sentence. If I want to reach my dashboard, it shows the same and I can't enter it. What should I do?

   It nothing else, but this everywhere.

   What could I do?

   Remove or rename the theme folder by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. WordPress will automatically use the default theme.

   What theme were you using. Find that theme, and upload the footer.php into your current theme directory to override the one you are using now. Intentionally or not, you didn't just add the analytic code, you removed the credit link in the file and that's why it's doing this.

   The theme author has the right to ask you not to remove the credit, but to redirect every page is just pure childishness.

   Look for another theme in the long run.

   One more thing, This is the message in your footer:(from the cached version on google)

   Do those links belong to you? He is using your site to advertise for others. find another theme right away.

   Only download themes from the official wordpress.org, there are 100's of sites that offer free WordPress themes and they include bad codes and hidden advertising into your site without you knowing it.

   Only download free themes from here:

   If your heart is set on the theme that you are using right now, send me a link to where you got it and i'll see if it's worth cleaning up. You can click on my name if you want a direct email (use my contact form)

   Cheers,

   Chris
