Change footer line

I don’t want to alarm you unduly as the technique can also quite legitimately be used to embed logos, but that line in your footer that starts “eval(base64_decode” is often evidence that your site has been hacked!

oh…well what should I do to prevent such things??? I often used spams comments, is that what it refers too or is it more serious? Thanks!

This is what the decrypted code looks like:

?><div id="footer">
<div class="footerlinks">
<?php the_time('Y'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> .  WordPress . <?php if(is_home()) : ?><a href="https://freeantivirussoftwarereviews.com/best-free-trojan-removers.html" title="Free trojan remover">Free trojan remover</a><?php endif; ?></a>
</div></div></div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html> <?

Try and remove the eval code in the footer.

Scary shit ?? Really guys I have got no clues about those things. Can’t I just get rid of the footer altogether? What would be the consequences? Or get a “standart” footer code instead of this one? Sorry but really a beginner in that field…and I guess it negatively impact my ranking too ??

Delete the eval code and see what happens. Where did you download your theme? You should do a search of all your theme’s template files for “base64_decode”

Ok I’ll do that…No sure where I got the code from anymore. Still back to square one – then how do I put a new slogan in my footer please?

footer.php:

<div id="footer">
<div class="footerlinks">

<!--  footer slogan here -->
<p>My footer slogan</p>

</div></div></div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

Ok now I just replace this shit with the regular wordpress footer as found here
https://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/09/30/customizing-your-wordpress-theme-footer/
and I guess I’ll be albe to customise the link/tagline too…
However when I do see the graphic template is no a bit “off (look a the top and bottom of https://www.spacessential.com please), could you tell me how to solve it?

Thanks!

try this in your footer:

<div id="footer">
<div class="footerlinks">

Thanks keesiemeijer. It did work to some extent – no problem on top, but wrting at the bottom “off frame” plus still repetition of template there. Any other tweak I should implement maybe? thank you so much!

Maybe try with one less div, change: </div></div></div> to </div></div>.

You also have a lot of validation errors. Also, do you copy paste from MS Word when writing a post?

Thanks. Yes I do copy/paste from Word. Should do in Notepad ++ or something similar instead that’s what you mean?

MS Word uses it’s own formatting when you paste directly in to the editor. This might break the layout in different browsers. https://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/wordpress-problems-pasted-ms-word-content/

Ok well I’ve learned something! Cool. Now I did the new footer from Notepad++ with your code – put tow divisions, then just one…Didn’t change the graphic problem at the bottom ?? Any other idea maybe?
