Please don’t cop an attitude with me if your theme can’t be modified or if it has no footer file. Nothing is worse than trying to provide free useful information and getting bitched at when it isn’t exactly what some are looking for. Or if you are too stupid to use what you can here and move on to solve your own problems. Gosh I just hate the way some people think they are “owed” everything.

I will not answer any theme specific questions especially from rude people asking about their Artisteer theme, whose comments will just be deleted.

I addressed that issue in the post telling them to leave the theme’s author link intact.

Some themes are using encoded footer, I found it is quiet difficult to decode. Your post will definitely useful in this kind of situations. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Unfortunately this is also how you can delete links from the footer and many people who download a theme remove links from the footer to delete credits(baclinks) to the designer. Happened to me

Sorry I didn’t mention it but most themes show the footer.php file, which this guide is about, on all pages/posts.

Does this runs site wide or footer is only on per page?

Theme modifications like this are hard to explain in a post let alone a comment because of all the different themes and how they are coded.

Good to see a “SIMPLE” instructional method of achieving these footer links, i first thought you needed a plugin or a premium theme to manage footer links.. ive now got some work to do lol, ive got 3 different blogs so you have made my boring day much more fun now.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I watched your video and added some links in my blog footer. I don’t have PHP knowledge but I did it easily.

Have a Great Time

The post doesn’t mention a thing about SEO or search engines, it has absolutely nothing to do with it. It is simply a way to edit the footer of most WP themes and nothing more.
