Your theme’s searchform.php uses this function … <?php the_search_query(); ?> which I believe was introduced in WordPress 2.1 and I see you’re using 2.0.11

Try changing that to <?php echo attribute_escape($s); ?>

You’ll probably have to consult the Codex regarding the use of template tags as there may be more of them in that theme which are not compatible with the version of WP you’re using.

anyone can tell me how to encrypt the links in the footer?

For all the preaching I and everyone else does about avoiding using themes using obfuscated code and you want to learn how to do it? Good luck finding an answer here. BTW, once you figure it out be sure to leave a download link to the new theme so that I can tell everyone to avoid it like the black plague.

I cannot say anything that hasn’t already been posted by Podz. The instructions provided are very clear complete with screenshots.

<?php the_permalink() ?> is what you’re looking for. In most themes it is tied to the post title something like …

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a>

If you don’t want the permalink tied to the post title then it’s rather simple to modify the above and manually slip it into your post somewhere such as the end.

Read carefully before attempting it.

There are a number of free magazine-style themes in this thread. You’ll find more if you search for “magazine-style themes” or “non-blog themes” or something along those lines. You can also check out wpmagthemes.com which features both free and paid mag-style themes.

You can clean out the wp_options table manually or, if you’re not comfortable doing that you can try the Clean Options Plugin.
