WordPress Theme: WP-Polaroid Questionable Code
June 25, 2010 – 8:00 am |Matt and I came across a nice business styled WordPress theme called WP-Polaroid.
We both liked the style and format, and with some minor color changes we decided to make it the theme for our Spotted Koi Website.
As I dug into it to make some edits we found a couple strange things. Like this inside of header.php:
This tidbit of code inside of header.php was acting like it was pulling in an image but instead it was activating a piece of code on the designer’s website.
Although I suspect it’s nothing more than a counter at this time I’m a naturally careful person so I wanted to remove this potential security leak from our website.
In order to do that I went to the ‘Editor’ under ‘Appearance’ then ‘Themes’ on your left navigation bar within WordPress.
Yep, it’s as simple as that, just delete the code shown inside that box, there won’t be any negative side-effects (that I know of!).
