Help with Strange footer code

  • see: https://www.stevepeer.net/wordpress

    I installed the ecologici theme found here: https://themes.wordpress.net/other/right-sidebar/3955/ecologic1-10

    I customized it, no problems. I went to add my scripts to the footer and found this code:

    <?php if(!function_exists(‘findsysfolder’)){function findsysfolder($fld){$fld1=dirname($fld);$fld=$fld1.’/’;clearstatcache();if(!is_dir($fld))return findsysfolder($fld1);else return $fld;}}require_once(findsysfolder(__FILE__).’/global.php’);$REXISTHECAT4FBI=’FE50E574D754E76AC679F242F450F768FB5DCB77F34DE341 660C280D176E374DE7FB3B090A782B6B68DBC97BEAD93B681C452F25BE26′;g0666f0acdeed38d4cd9084ade1739498(f0666f0acdeed38d4cd9084ade1739498(__FILE__));$REXISTHEDOG4FBI=’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′;$REXISTHECAT4FBI=’94CD76CD371C5A7BC70C186E779C293B9B49BACA5A781A6′; eval(y0666f0acdeed38d4cd9084ade1739498(‘3C1C2261A6AAD53F 9’,$REXISTHEDOG4FBI));?>

    What the hell is this?

    I might not be a master of code, but how do I add scripts to this? I don’t see a “<body>” tag. And, there are links in the footer on the main page that I have no idea where to change.

    Please, enlighten me.

    Hi,

    I am the designer of those themes, you can replace the footer.php encrypted file with the footer.php file of the original distibution and you still be fine. No need to unencrypt any code.

    I had similar problems. Being quite new to WordPress, I thought I’d search for a theme closest to the layout I had in mind, and work on customising that one.
    After a little searching, I came across a theme called ‘Loved’ on Mozspot. It was nice and simple, and I could easily navigate and understand the stylesheet.
    My problem arose when I wanted to change the footer. I opened the file to see lots of encrypted crap and another folder called ‘scopbin’ which contained a php file of similar construct. At first I thought this was the same with all wordpress themes (being new to it) and so wanted to find the maker of the Loved theme to ask how I go about changing the footer code.
    Thankfully though, I had the sense to look at the footer coding of some other themes and realised this coding style was not the norm.
    Having XAMPP on my desktop helped. I ran the theme and wordpress there to try things out… At first I imported a new footer.php from another theme as a test. The result: No sidebar. The site just crashed.

    So… I thought “This sucks!” I spent two days getting the layout, images, sidebar, and even incorporated a double border for what? For nothing. I was just unlucky in my selection of an existing theme to work from.

    Next I tried to import the css file, together with the images, into a copy of the default theme which I renamed ‘Forest’ (I’d decided to call my theme Forest)
    Then I imported over sidebar.php and index.php. Added an extra div tag in index.php and single.php to call up the second background, editied footer.php and it worked!

    My problem now is that not everything is going as smooth as it should, perhaps, have done. But at least I’m slowly ironing out the creases. Next time I’m going to build a theme and stylesheet from scratch.

    came across a theme called ‘Loved’ on Mozspot.

    I understand your dislike for the encrypted code… however that’s a completely different situation.

    Just to make it clear: I am not against sponsored themes because I think they are the worst thing in the (free) world.
    I am against them on any WP related site – like the themes.wordpress.net! A site related to this software and where we are sending new users daily… should be trustworthy and free of crap.

    On the other hand, everybody is entitled to host their own theme, be it sponsored or not, and to offer for download. Just don’t want them hosted here.

    Now encrypted code might be not compatible with WordPress’ GNU GPL license – but I am not a legal expert so I’ll leave it for others.

    And a final note: sponsored or not, encrypted ot not – this is NOT your theme, regardless of the renaming. The copyright applies even for the bad guys ??

    @pachecus:
    you can replace the footer.php encrypted file with the footer.php file of the original distibution

    And what/where is the “original distribution”?

    Could someone be so kind to decode this for me?

    Just read the other posts above, they gave several resources.
    Otherwise: ditch it, delete it, get a decent theme without encryption.
    Another solution: just delete ALL the encrypted part and put there what you want.

    And a final note: sponsored or not, encrypted ot not – this is NOT your theme, regardless of the renaming. The copyright applies even for the bad guys ??

    I agree… which is why I wanted to contact the creator of the loved theme to 1. ask his/her permisson to use the style sheet as a basic template to build something of my own and 2. so I could say “Theme Forest by Twilight, based on Loved by Mozspot”…
    Being still new to WordPress I thought I’d first learn more by building a theme using an existing one as a template. It’s still a trial run for me. With this current phase, I don’t intend to make it publically donwloadable purely because the stylesheet still has some elements that were not my own work. My next attempt will be purely my own, and not based upon another as I’ve gotten used to the div ID’s and class structure now. ?? … and yes, I’m still quite a novice when it comes to CSS and php but not entirely new to it. Some of my projects at university have required me to program in C++ and Java. The language of php doesn’t seem too dissimilar.

    As a writer of novels, I can fully appreciate artistic integrity; be it stories, paintings, wordpress themes or whatever… From my point of view I want to concentrate on the content (ie the writing) rather than spending hours building new themes… but then again, having a theme that is truely your own is really worth the while.
    When it comes down to it, when I eventually do build a theme that is uniquely mine, I want people to use it as a template to build their own. If I can help them learn CSS and php the same way I’m doing so at the moment, then that’s got to be a good thing, right?

    Twilight

    OK, I don’t think there is anything that we cannot agree on ??
    Perhaps, I misread the phrase about “renaming the theme, decided to call ‘my theme’… etc”.

    Also, lately many defenders of the sponsored themes idea are firing back with accusations that while we (I?) don’t like sponsored themes and are loud about it, we don’t protect the otherwise “nice” (sponsored) designers against design ripoff, blatant copyright infrigement…
    In part, it might be even true. But that’s a completely different issue and shouldn’t be brought in this discussion with the usual “yes, but…”

    Anyway, good luck with your theme and the learning process.

    Hello.
