Remove SMTHEMES Footer Links

[nwmktc]

I have been looking all over for a way to remove the encrypted links that are in all of the SMThemes footers without having to pay to have them removed.

If this has been covered I will remove the thread, but I have done numerous searches and have came up with nothing, so here goes.

All of the SMThemes free versions come with these annoying links in the footer section that link back to their own sites and are more that usually irrelevant to your websites intended content.

When you try to remove the links, by deleting the link codes you are left with a message telling you to add the links back for the site to work when you try to access your site after deleting them.

These links are encrypted and to remove them completely and still have a functioning website you need to follow these directions:

First you need to use FTP access or file manager, because with some of the SMThemes you cannot access the files you need to alter inside wordpress dashboard.
Once inside your websites file manager you want to:

1.Open up your theme directory and navigate into the ‘JS‘ folder.

2.Open up “smthemes.js” with any text editor program.

3.Find every instance of "eval(function(s,m,t) " and "eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d)" - By instance I mean EVERY find of the bolded value, just delete the text from the file.

4.Save the smtheme.js file.

5.Navigate back to your main theme directory and open up “bottom.php“

6.Find the following:
<?php
echo $SMTheme->get( "integration","footercode" ) ;
?>
And comment it out!
It should look like this:
<!-- ?php
echo $SMTheme->get( "integration","footercode" ) ;
? -->

7.Find the SMTheme’s div and comment it out, also! "<div class=’smthemes’></div>"

It should look like this:
<!-- <div class='smthemes'>Designed by <a href='http://www.fwpthemes.com/' target='_blank'>free wordpress theme</a>, thanks to: <a href='http://premiumfreewordpressthemes.com/category/games/' target='_blank'>Free Wordpress Game Themes</a>, <a href='http://jucariile.com' target='_blank'>jucarii din lemn</a> and <a href='http://sjthemes.com/' target='_blank'>SJThemes.com</a></div> -->

Once you’ve followed those steps, you will notice the footer is removed. No more annoying footers with links! If you need any help, leave a comment below. I hope this helped you all.

I'm trying to follow your instructions, but not sure about deleting the values from the smthemes.js file.

Do you mean literally just delete the "eval(function(s,m,t)" and "eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d)"? Or any other text after it as well?
