• Hi everyone,
    My sidebar is at the bottom of my posts. Can anyone tell me how to fix it? I am pretty ignorant of XHTML so please speak slowly 😉

    I tried upgrading last week unsuccessfully. I just d-loaded the most recent version and uploaded successfully on Friday. Apologies for the lack of clarity.

    If it has been a long time since you changed your system password, you should do that right away.

    I just changed it this morning…
    You are speaking of my wp login and pass yes?
    Or do you mean my domain login and pass?

    Like I said, it doesnt matter. What you need to be doing is deciding what to do with your current situation.

    Your options are limited..

    There are a good # of posts already here that address recently exploited installs. Depending on what you upgraded from, you may or may not have been a victim of the same exploit as someone else. Consequently, you pretty much have to do everything mentioned.

    Everything means going through and auditing, specifically, files that cannot just be replaced…that would be any theme files that contain custom code, and more importantly, your wp-config.php

    Depending on how attached you are to your plugins, that might also include your plugins.

    By auditing, I dont mean random, I mean all, and I mean looking for anything that looks suspicious.. long strings of javascript that contain whats best described as just lots of letters, for instance.

    Files that can be easily be replaced need to be completely deleted off your web space, and fresh ones uploaded in their place.

    Additionally, you need to follow the instructions here:

    http://wordpressphilippines.org/blog/has-your-wordpress-been-hacked-recently/

    Again, you’re covering all of your bases since there is no telling when your site was exploited or how many different exploits you’ve been a victim of.

    If you cant do that, or dont want to do that, then you can shitcan the database, shitcan the files, and start fresh. Or you can pay someone with a lot of patience to do the work for you.

    Your call..

    ,

    Oh, and once you do decide what to do and have done it.. make sure that you change all of your passwords.

    On a similarly hacked blog I have seen a lot of folders in the wp-content/uploads/ folder where normally your images and other uploaded stuff sits.
    When organized by months you may have subfolders like 2007/01, 02, 03…12.
    However, if you have subfolders like 1, 2, 3, 24, 35 etc. check EVERYTHING, all those folders!
    On the site I’ve checked they were full of ad codes and files.

    (just a tipp…)

    thanks…I found this on my server…I Think this is still old blog stuff….
    http://www.shadrastrickland.com/news/

    this is where my old blog lived. I will delete this directory and see if things work out…

    ’cause I really don’t wanna start from scratch.

    thanks for all of the help

    Forget that old stuff. READ before jumping around on all the places. The garbage code is in your brand new blog, not on that old greymatter install.

    yes, what moshu said also applies.. you need to check all of your directories. I believe thats covered in the link I provided as well.

    And you are going to have to read.

    looks like it’s gonna be a long night. I can see what looks to be some random links to pharmacy blogs when I view the code through foxfire, but there’s nothing in the index file.

    There’s no other way to accurately pinpoint which files are hacked without opening each one? Not that I’m whining, but I don’t wanna screw up something else accidentally, and I looked through the default files earlier and didn’t see anything….okay, maybe I’m whining a little.

    There’s no other way to accurately pinpoint which files are hacked without opening each one?

    As I previously stated, unless you are hellbent on finding the offending code, you go through ALL of the files you intend on keeping. That narrows things things considerably, dont you think?

    WordPress 2.5.1 consists of over 400 files. Most of those, if, you read my post above, will be deleted and replaced fresh. You’re using the default theme, even that can be replaced.

    And no, there isnt.

    When I upgraded I did delete and replace the admin and includes folders. I don’t really know what else to replace or look for specifically so I will just delete the blog and start all over…*sigh.

    Thanks for everyone’s help.
