 * 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](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.
