Problem with WP theme's footer

[nowinnofee]

Guys, I am trying some new WP themes for new client's web site, and it doesn't have a way to change a footer.php to add copyright info for the site.

Footer code looks like this:

<?php eval(base64_decode('Pz4gPCEtLSBiZWdpbiBmb290ZXIgLS0+DQoNCjxkaXYgaWQ9ImZvb3RlciI+ICAyMDA4IDxhIGhyZWY9 Ijw/cGhwIGVjaG8gZ2V0X3NldHRpbmdzKCdob21lJyk7ID8+LyI+DQogIDw/cGhwIGJsb2dpbmZvKCduYW1lJyk7ID8+LiA8P3BocCBpZihpc19ob21lKCkpIDogPz48YSBocmVmPSJodHRwOi8vYmVzdGxhcHRv cHM0dS5jb20vIiB0aXRsZT0iQmVzdCBsYXB0b3AiPkJlc3QgbGFwdG9wPC9hPjw/cGhwIGVuZGlmOyA/PjwvYT4uIA0KICA8IS0tUGxlYXNlIGxlYXZlIHRoZSBmb2xsb3dpbmcgbGluayBpbiBwbGFjZSB0byBlbmNvdXJhZ2UgZnV0dXJl IGZyZWUgdGhlbWUgZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQgLS0+DQogIDxkaXYgaWQ9ImNyZWRpdCI+PC9kaXY+DQo8L2Rpdj4NCjwvZGl2Pg0KPC9i b2R5PjwvaHRtbD4gPD8='));?>

Where on the earth do I add a site specific info?

What in the world? I've been working on a wordpress theme
and I've never seen anything like that before...

Don't know if this is going to work.. But mine looks like this.

<code>
&copy;<?php echo date("Y"); echo " "; bloginfo('name'); ?>
</code>

It puts in the date/year and the specified name that you input
in your settings automatically.

Hi,

It's just your fotter has been base64 encoded. Just run the code through an online base64 decoder, make your changes, reencode and paste over what you have.

I quickly copied the code and pasted here:

Result:

?> <!-- begin footer -->

<div id="footer">  2008 <a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/">
  <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>. <?php if(is_home()) : ?><a href="http://bestlaptops4u.com/" title="Best laptop">Best laptop</a><?php endif; ?></a>. 
  <!--Please leave the following link in place to encourage future free theme development -->
  <div id="credit"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body></html> <?

regards

Hello. I have also hit a major road block. I was changing things around with a newwptheme i got and I saw there were footer links. I tried to change them but as soon as i do my site goes down. I looked around the web and everyone says i have to decode. However there is no encoded script in my function file or footer. I'm at a loss here.

here is my footer code. you can see the links but if i change one letter its goes nuts.

<div class="span-24">
<div id="footer">Copyright &copy; <a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>"><strong><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></strong></a> - <?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
<?php // This theme is released free for use under creative commons licence. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
// All links in the footer should remain intact.
// These links are all family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way.
// Warning! Your site may stop working if these links are edited or deleted ?>
