It may be the same name, but the Decode theme doesn’t obscure its credits in the footer.php file: [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/decode/2.9.3/footer.php](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/decode/2.9.3/footer.php) * It sounds like you’re using a theme from a vendor like FThemes? They’re a known dubious vendor that obscure code in the footer file using these types of techniques, and they license their themes so that under that license you cannot edit the footer.
