Probably not obfuscated or “encrytpted” in this case. In functions.php, you will probably find something like this:
if (!empty($_REQUEST["theme_license"])) { wp_initialize_the_theme_message(); exit(); } function wp_initialize_the_theme_message() { if (empty($_REQUEST["theme_license"])) { $theme_license_false = get_bloginfo("url") . "/index.php?theme_license=true";
The code in functions.php will most likely disable your theme if you change the footer.
What it amounts to is the theme developer (or the distributor) wagging a finger in your face and saying; “Now, now… all of the links we provide are for you are perfectly safe. There’s no reason you should WANT to change them, and if you do, we’ll disable your free theme, and you can’t use it at all!”.
Options:
1) If you really like the theme, see if the theme author offers a version without this nonsense, or a commercial license that entitles you to use the theme as you wish.
2) dump the theme completely. (just my opinion, by the way)
