Too Important to Wait!

Over the course of getting Your-GFE ready to go live I stumbled upon a distressing fact: there are some seriously demented people out there who are hacking templates so that they redirect to other sites - OR WORSE.

I found, in eight out of twenty-three free templates, modified footer.php and function.php files implementing the hack.

It’s easy enough to fix, but unless you know what to look for, you could inadvertently upload these files to your server and muck things up unbelievably.
