Do you even understand your own license which you provide with the theme files? It says you can not encrypt your WordPress code because it is Open source. Encrypting the code is against WordPress license.

Whoa, take it easy man… I didn’t encrypt any of my WP codes or files. Theme package already includes every source code and it doesn’t violate the general WP license. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out. :)

@IndustrialThemes – That won’t be a problem. :)

UXbarn, Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound rude. I just said in general.

p.s using base64 to encode parts of code isnt against WordPress’s license which is GPL, Open Source is a philosophy not a license

the theme check plugin marks it for the WordPress.org site because generally base64 is used in malicious ways like embedding links in the footers etc…
