Help with badly written theme

  • I need help with what should be 3 Simple changes to a theme I am using

    Theme – https://wordpressthemesbase.com/detail/922.html
    my site – https://www.mashedtodeath.com

    1) I want to get rid of the blogroll and categories of sidebar two. The only code i can see for this is in the functions file

    ` register_sidebar(array(
    ‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Right’,
    ‘before_widget’ => ”,
    ‘after_widget’ => ”,
    ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’,
    ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,`

    but i cant find in any php filer in the themes folder where the blogroll or catagories is declared

    2) All menus and posts display in lower case, and disregard any uppper case. I am assuming css configuration so i will look there, but if i am wrong please direct me

    3) The pages I create are ordered using a plugin, but appear right to left on the top banner. where shoudl i fix this. assuming css again.

    Sorry but i only can read and edit php, i cant write myself so it is hard to find the issues

  • I know this doesn’t yet help to directly answer your question, but before you invest yourself too heavily, I just want to point out that footer.php of the theme contains obfuscated code. It’s base64 “encrypted”.

    While the decoded file contents don’t appear to be anything too disturbing: Decoded content https://pastebin.com/iD5ne4ze , it’s worth considering not to use the theme at all. Some reference information for you: Theme Decoding Thread

    That being said, I think the solution to the second sidebar issue might also be in that decoded footer.php mess.

    Your a star Clayton

    I did notice the encrypted content and dynamic content of the footer, but never thought that they would be lazy enough to use this

    I have removed encoded content and will replace with decoded content to my liking. And I may not be a php programmer, but i am a certified ethical hacker, so you can be sure i go through the site with a fine hair comb to ensure no cross site scripting or malicious content

    I have solved lower text issue so all that is left now, is reverse page listing at top of page

    Glad that did the trick. I have no love at all for those obfuscation schemes. Good luck to you! ??

    I was able to edit the footer code and add custom code to add flash player. So seems fine.

    One issue I have is that I have set width to be the full width of teh sidebar but I wish it to be slightly smaller so you can see the sides of the window

    If you know the answer i would be grateful
