• I have a theme called attitude which I downloaded online, and whenever I try to remove the translators credit (not the original theme maker credit), it locks my site and replaces it with a photo saying something along the lines of “this site has been locked due to copyright violations! contact : XXXXXX” which really pisses me off since it should be a free work and I’m free to do any change I want… no one should implent such codes in my site.

    Question is… how do I remove it?
    I looked up the footer and this is what’s written inside of it:

    <?php
    
    /**
    
     * Displays the footer section of the theme.
    
     *
    
     * @package 		Theme Horse
    
     * @subpackage 	Attitude
    
     * @since 			Attitude 1.0
    
     */
    
    ?>
    
    	   </div><!-- #main -->
    
    	   <?php do_action('attitude_after_main'); ?>
    
    	   <?php do_action('attitude_before_footer'); ?>	
    
    	   <footer id="colophon" class="clearfix">
    
    			<?php do_action('attitude_footer'); ?>
    
    		</footer>
    
    		<?php do_action( 'attitude_after_footer' ); ?>	
    
    	</div><!-- .wrapper -->
    
    	<div class="tcenter mb2"><a href="https://www.sagive.co.il" style="font-size: 12px; color: #888;" rel="nofollow"><?php _e('Hebrew By Sagive SEO', 'attitude'); ?></a></div>
    
    	<?php do_action( 'attitude_after' ); ?> 
    
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    
    </body>
    
    </html>

    Totally agree, but probably your best bet is to use the theme here:

    Isn’t that optional? I mean according to the copyrights law – it should be under GPL license which means that I’m free to take off the credit, or I’m wrong?

    Yes, absolutely, but it sounds like you didn’t get the theme from www.ads-software.com? Or someone changed it?

    I got it from a third party site, it’s the original theme with an added translation to my lagnuage. Does it change the GPL \ License in some way?

    It should not change GPL – but it sounds like someone did add code to prevent you from changing the footer.
