Hi Nick

I’ll check again and let you know if it’s working on my end.

Thanks for responding.

Hmm, didn’t work.
I extracted the functions file from the original copy of the theme, pasted it in the exisitng file for the theme but the site loses the footer section when I do it.
I’ve put it back again to how it was, it seems these guys deliberately set it up so that you can’t overwrite the existing code.

Looks like I eitheer lose the footer to get rid of the links, or I have to live with them on the site and risk getting penalised for hidden links.

Here’s the code alchymyth

I’ve pasted the code in the section you suggested.:)

Hi Jan
I did some forum searches and managed to figure out where the links are but don’t know what to delete.
They placed the links in the functions php file of the theme and when I removed the section the footer disappeared completely so I put it back to how it was.

This is the code where the links have been hidden:

function custom_footer() {
    ?>

Hi Jan thanks but that doesn’t help because it’s not a real hack.
They got access to the site from the work I gave them and unknown to me, they dopped the 4 links into my site.

WHat I really need now is to find a way to remove the links because I can’t find them in any of the files, only when I view the source could, that’s when they show but they don’t show up on anything else.

Hope you understand me now.:)
