Encoding and decoding is a regular process as long as people use wordpress and wordpress themes

Some theme authors embed links in an encoded footer making it difficult to understand what is happening in the footer.

Note: this type of encoded content could be malicious as well as just a copyright banner! Here’s a method to decode (figure out) and correct the footer so there is no encoding.

Its very easy and as simple as saying 123.

There are two methods to do this

1. Regular Method :

Open your home.php if not found open index.php of your themes folder

Now visit your blog, view its source code (e.g. View->Page Source in Firefox), and copy the HTML between those two markers and paste it in your footer.php file removing all the crap which was before and make a new copy of footer.php with that HTML code. Then change it to your hearts content.

Remember to insert the before tag.

Thats it ….very easy , safe and secure.

2.Online Method :

There is a decoder available online for this …check it http://ottodestruct.com/decoder.php
