If it does, you should be able to edit the code in that file to display the full text of the posts using [the_content()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Possible PHP injection attack on WordPress site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-php-injection-attack-on-wordpress-site/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-php-injection-attack-on-wordpress-site/#post-1142742) * As far as I can tell those are classic Remote File Inclusion attempts. I would be concerned, though not overly, that the attempts are returning response codes of 200. * aznbbj linked to my article, which is sort of a summary of the research I did on RFI attacks back when the same thing happened to me. It’s got a number of ways to mitigate the attacks, from the very simple and not-so-effective to editing of your php.ini file to remove functionality that the RFI attacks utilize. * Hope it helps. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[2.8.1] No information about available updates to plugins.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/281-no-information-about-available-updates-to-plugins/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/281-no-information-about-available-updates-to-plugins/#post-1143314) * t31os, * Going to do some of the things you suggested since I’ve got a similar issue. I’m not using a copy of the database. Fresh database on my localhost, WP2.8, with a basic copy/paste of my entire live-site’s plugins folder to my localhost. * I can literally see an automatic update notification pop up on my localhost, then check the live site and have nothing. Three days later it magically appears, or it sometimes appears after I update a different plugin and refresh the plugins page. * Strange stuff. * (Maestro2012, let us know how you fare trying to fix this.) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[2.8.1] No information about available updates to plugins.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/281-no-information-about-available-updates-to-plugins/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/281-no-information-about-available-updates-to-plugins/#post-1143312) * I have a similar issue, except my localhost WP2.8 shows available updates immediately, and my live-site WP2.7.1 seems to lag a few days. * It appears to eventually offer me the notification of the automatic updates, but it’s late, and it doesn’t always show me all available updates. * I haven’t come up with a solution or even determined what the problem is. And I’m not currently in a position to remove my 60-ish plugins one by one to test it, so I’ve been just dealing with it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [which abckup application to use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/which-abckup-application-to-use/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/which-abckup-application-to-use/#post-1142559) * You can schedule regular database backups through various plugins.

Curly quotes were used in the code you inserted into the Youtube embed and this is causing the problem to persist. See [my comment](http://blogingenuity.com/2009/07/06/preventing-embedded-youtube-videos-from-blocking-menus/comment-page-1/#comment-1275) on how to fix. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Menus behind content issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menus-behind-content-issue-1/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menus-behind-content-issue-1/#post-1130785) * Responded to you on [my site](http://blogingenuity.com/2009/07/06/preventing-embedded-youtube-videos-from-blocking-menus/#comment-1250). I downloaded your theme, used your Youtube video, and was able to get this to work (see my response on my website, it links to a screenshot). * I’m struggling to determine why it’s not working for you. I’ve viewed your source code and the embed code appears to be fine. Strange! * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Tracking Visitors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tracking-visitors/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tracking-visitors/#post-1130780) * WordPress.com might have had it built in, but now that you’ve converted to self- hosted WordPress, you’ll need to use plugins or third-party tracking services. * For plugins, here are a few: * [Cystats](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cystats/) [StatPress Reloaded](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/statpress-reloaded/) [WordPress.com Stats](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [I need an EASY to use POLL, someone helpme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-need-an-easy-to-use-poll-someone-helpme/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-need-an-easy-to-use-poll-someone-helpme/page/2/#post-1130079) * How can you possibly be demanding a poll plugin “of [your] own design” when you haven’t the desire/skill to code it yourself!? * Lesterchan’s WP-Polls plugin and the Polldaddy plugin are two of the best in existence. You won’t find any better unless you’ve hired someone to custom code it. * There are perks to using one over the other. I use Polldaddy because it allows each of my users to create and edit their own polls separately. * If none of that is acceptable to you, hire it done, or go ahead and give up. * P.S. – I’ve looked through your past questions and you’ve received a whole ton of help here. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Menus behind content issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menus-behind-content-issue-1/) * [asechrest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asechrest/) * (@asechrest) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menus-behind-content-issue-1/#post-1130777) * Tazman, * After some research, I found the solution to [preventing Youtube videos from hiding page objects](http://blogingenuity.com/2009/07/06/preventing-embedded-youtube-videos-from-blocking-menus/) and posted it for my readers.

Determine the category ID of “portfolio” by going to the categories page in the back-end and hovering over this category.
