I installed a wordpress theme and came across the following code contained in the functions.php (theme functions) file. I am wanting to make sure this code is not over-riding my adsense publisher id and replacing with theirs in the background. I had this happen on another theme and just wanting to make sure it isn't happening again. I don't know enough to know. It is strange though that even after a full customization, the ads that appear are geared toward the theme authors' website content and not mine. ????
I replaced the original text that shows the name of the people who made the theme with PROGRAMMER (I have no desire to even try to make someone look bad, especially when it's probably just me being skeptical because I got burned.)
// FLUSH ADS
$PROGRAMMER_ads = get_option('PROGRAMMER_ads');
$PROGRAMMER_publisherid = get_option('PROGRAMMER_publisherid')
;
Any advice is appreciated.
