    Hello, thank you for reading and any help you can provide.

    I’m having trouble with a footer at a site because I believe the code in the footer is encrypted in some way.

    The site is here:
    http://bit.ly/pvhc24

    All I want to do is change the length of the theme creator and shorten it up. Ill probably also change the color. I plan to give the theme creator credit but just want the name and not all the text. How do I get this un encrypted? Someone here did it for me before at another site and it worked out great.

    As a secondary option, I would also like to remove the orange RSS box all together for it will not be used at all for this site.

    Here is the footer encrypted code:

    Any suggestions or ideas?

    On a secondary note, I have read that this particular site uses some sort of tracking in their codes (freewordpressthemes4u.com) I have no problem paying their usage fee and believe they deserve it. However, does anyone know if this will remove said tracking code from the site and if the theme is then safe to use?

    Basically I have read here to stay away from themes at this site due to this and am simply wondering if buying it will take care of the problem?

    There is a sticky post just for this issue that contains links to tools and advice that might help you decide if you really want to use a theme like this or not.

    Thank you very much Clayton, this is great information indeed. I appreciate your time and guidance with this. And thank you for decoding it as well. Hopefully I will now be able to do this on my own but it equally appears the best thing is to avoid these types of themes.

    I understand their reason for doing so, but I wish that there was a way to be guaranteed that if you purchased a theme, there would be no malicious tracking in the code itself. Maybe someone knows of a site with advanced themes that you do buy which are free of any tracking code.

    Or better yet a membership type site where all themes are clear of tracking code once you are a member.
