vxthdkga.php is not a normal WordPress file. Look what’s in it, and try to delete or move it. If you have define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); in your wp-config.php you get a lot of notices. some of them serious and some not.
Thank you. I have removed the file, and also found a reference to it at the end of my wp-config.php file:
if(!function_exists(amt_cif)) { if(file_exists(ABSPATH.WPINC.’/vxthdkga.php’)) { require_once (ABSPATH.WPINC.’/vxthdkga.php’); } }
I have also deleted that. Neither of these were in my original WordPress download, and I am developing locally so I can only assume that they appeared when I downloaded three free themes to test. Is that possible?
Also, I have one last warning …”Warning: fopen(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-http.php on line 876″ that refers to WP_DEBUG. and I am getting a blank page for index.php
I can only assume that they appeared when I downloaded three free themes to test. Is that possible?
Yes that is possible. I realy don’t know how that file got there. Do you remember what themes you downloaded?
The errors is wp-cron trying to run certain hourly tasks. I ignore it on some of my local dev installs.
Disable debug in your wp-config.php : define('WP_DEBUG', false);

I’m thinking this is a wontfix, Developers need to be aware of failure messages, It shouldnt occur for regular users.
The themes were from an article in a very reputable web development article site: 40 Excellent Free WordPress Themes and the themes were: remedy, Love Earth and vectorize.
I checked my database and there were also three tables with names starting with localhost_ added to them. I removed them also.
I have disabled debug. I just have to deal with the issue of my index.php page not displaying, even though the default themes work without a hitch. Thank you.
