6 steps to remove footer copyright attribution from Basil soratemplate

In this tutorial I am going to show how you can remove the attribution text from Basil Sora template for blogger. You need to have basic knowledge of HTML/CSS and javscript. If you are comfortable with these three languages and want to learn something then follow along. You are lazy like me? you can have the nulled version of the template. Simply just like our facebook page and subscribe to our news feed. Send us a message and we will email the nulled Basil template to you real quick, promise ;). You love to learn something great, let's get started.

Step 1: Install the free basil theme

First of all you need to have the free version of the theme installed. Don't worry if you don't want to test this on your main blog. You can simply create a new blog and install the free version of Basil template there. After installing the theme you need to view your blog to see the template applied. You can open your blog url or you can find the view blog button on your blogger admin top left area.

Note: Editing blogger theme directly in the browser is not a good idea. You need a code editor e.g. sublimetext to edit your template. Please backup your current theme before you start editing.

Step 2: Search for some weird code in your theme's html

This one is a bit tricky, go to your blogger admin and select theme -> edit html and search for WOW wow.js. Start selecting from the parent <?script?> tag and drag all the way down to the closing <?/script?> tag and press delete button.

NOTE: If the selection of opening and closing <?script?> tags did not make sense to you, then you can look for the line numbers starting from 5098 to 5106

Step 3: Replace weird code with cool code

Copy the following code and paste it where you deleted the previous code.

Step 4: Find some more weird code

Now once again search for this line : var _Pf4g01= and select everything till this line: eval(_Pf4g01); and press delete button.

Step 5: Replace more weird code with cool code

Copy the following code and paste it where you deleted the line starting from var _Pf4g01= to eval(_Pf4g01);.

new WOW().init();
var containerHeight = $(window).height() / 2;
$('.spacer').css("height", containerHeight);
var x = $('.skills').prev().height() / 4;
$(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($(window).scrollTop() >= x) {
        $('.skill-percent').each(function() {
            $(this).animate({
                width: $(this).data('percent') + '%'
            }, 1000)
        })
    }
});
