Previously i posted about wpthemesfree.com and how they were adding links on the footer of themes without the author’s permission.For some wierd reason i decided to email them again today to check if there was any progress on this matter.

The person that i’ve been in contact with is Laura Simmons and she has been brilliant is answering my questions and today she replied my mail which confirms that WPthemesfree.com is NO LONGER ADDING links to the footer of a theme.

An excerpt of the mail:

I have read the comments on your post your readers should know this project
is not for money. Countless firms want to put a sponsor link on our main
site under the property links but we are always refusing again and again. As
mentioned this project is not for money. But if the site pushes our simple
server too much we can think of adding at least an adsense on the site to
upgrade a powerful server which can handle the traffic.

This is great news for theme developers and i take my hats off to Laura and her team for taking this trouble for the Wordpress community, in the future the site will place a checkbox which will be like a request for a footer link. The theme owner can check or uncheck this so they can add or don’t add a footer link according to the theme developers desire.

Go upload your wordpress themes at Wpthemesfree
