bethosuch, please do not post that theme site here again. Quoting a reply of mine from an earlier thread:
The theme author puts in code so that if you change or remove the links in the footer the theme disables itself.
That’s not cool and is very GPL unfriendly and I’m sorry, but your chosen theme is not released under GPL.
Non GPL products are not welcome in the WordPress community. Official WordPress policy states that all plugins and themes that are publicly released are required to adhere to https://www.ads-software.com/about/gpl/
Any support requests for non-GPL products are usually ignored, in the interests of supporting the community and its freedoms.
Please consider getting a theme from a reputable place such as the theme repo here.

Because they booby trap their “free” themes to prevent the user from editing out the footer links, that makes them very GPL unfriendly and that site is not welcomed here.
