This theme has weird stuff and I cant decode it either

Hi,

I purchased a theme from a premium themes site and I like the theme pretty much — it’s just their functions.php and footer.php are encoded and I can’t work around it much.

When buying the theme, it said that it was not encoded and it would be easy to edit — that is not the case.

Can someone please help decode it for me? I tried the Base64 decode and once their, it’s still encoded and I don’t know what else to do. Here are my codes:

Footer.php encoded:

Functions.php encoded:

I need these files decoded for:

1. Security. How do I know what’s going in in those files??
2. I need to change a few mark ups with the authors designed to a few words such as “COPYRIGHT” I need to change to “Copyright”.
3. I don’t like having an encoded theme…its odd.

Thank you
