How to Remove PayPal Coppermine
Coppermine is a PHP/MySQL photo gallery application that's used in conjunction with Web server software. Some admins install user-made hacks that allow placement of PayPal buttons within the photo gallery. If you want to remove a PayPal hack from an installation of Coppermine, all you need to do is replace any folders that were altered by the hack. The other option is to perform a clean reinstall of Coppermine, but this method will erase your current gallery.

Upload the newly downloaded Themes folder to your Web server. When prompted, confirm that you wish to overwrite the existing Themes folder. If the PayPal hack you implemented also made changes to other folders, copy and overwrite these as well. If you're not sure which folders the hack affected, check with the person or developers who designed it.
