In reply to: 2.7.1 HackedYou’ve given no evidence whatsoever that the problem is WordPress rather than the problem being…you. Certainly it’s possible that 2.7.1 has a security hole, but that’s not the first conclusion I’d be jumping to.
What plugins are you running? Where was this code inserted in the SQL table?
WordPress sanitizes its standard form input but it cannot control the security holes you may open up by installing third-party plugins that allow unfiltered form input.

In reply to: User Profiles??You can hardcode a link into your template file. Or you can active a text widget and code a link in there.
Or you could active the standard WordPress Meta widget in your sidebar. If memory serves, this has a link to the admin.

In reply to: All my post text shows up as a link in Safari v1.3.2I see an unclosed
<a>tag in the home page source.<h1><a href="http://sabreimagery.com/backstage" </h1> <div id="desc"></div> </div>Right near the top. Right click, view source, check it out, and then see if you can track it down. That could be the issue.

In reply to: Background Image/MistyLook 3.7.2Ok, it looks like all the URL paths in your
style.cssare incorrect. The way you’ve got your CSS now, it’s looking for the background image inhttp://sudscription.com/imgwhich doesn’t appear to be where the image is located.For the body background image, try changing it to this:
background: url('/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sudscription-background.jpg') repeat center top;This appears to be where your background image is located, and I’ve changed
no-repeattorepeatas I assume this is the affect you’re going for.Regarding file paths, if all else fails, use the full file path of the image.

In reply to: Background Image/MistyLook 3.7.2Hah! Sorry, that should have been obvious given your site’s domain name. Read your OP too quickly.
I’ll try to help once I get home to my beloved Firefox. =D

In reply to: Background Image/MistyLook 3.7.2Should it really be sudscription-background.jpg? With a “d?”
Maybe the problem is a simple misspelling?

In reply to: Need help with plugin order in postsThere’s also a way to affect the order in which plugins are called, but I can’t recall how at the moment. I’d check the template tag option first as it allows more flexibility.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Need help with plugin order in postsSee if the Share This Article plugin and Related Posts plugin offer a template tag that you can insert directly into your templates.
Many plugins offer automatic insertion of their “stuff,” which is somewhat handy for a user who doesn’t like to dig in code. But as you’ve noticed, it gives you far less control over where and how it’s displayed.
So many plugins that do automatic insertion also offer a template tag that you can manually insert wherever you want in your code, and even surround it by a div and add some CSS styling.
Check the plugin docs to see if they offer a tag.

In reply to: Where custom pages are stored in wordpress?Pages you create from the administration panel aren’t “stored” in the literal since. By that I mean you can’t create a page called “Foobar” and then go into your WP folders and find a
Foobar.php.WordPress uses a template system. The template files provide the underlying PHP/HTML “framework” for the display of pages, posts, etc.
So when you create a new page, no matter what page it is, WordPress looks to a template file to control display of that page. It may use the default template (page.php) or it may use a custom template created by you or your theme.
Perhaps if you let us know what it is you’re trying to do, we can point you in the right direction.

In reply to: [Plugin: Easy Comment Uploads] Got hacked because of this plugin!Well, I haven’t used this plugin, but it appears that the entire point of of it is to allow users to upload files. From the get-go, that’s a security risk, and should have been an obvious one.
In addition, the plugin states:
Does the plugin perform and checks on uploaded files?
The answers to that question is sadly no, not until I get round to adding some (it is still in beta though). Uploaded files will however be bound by the global php settings for uploads which should limit file size but not file type.So it freely admits it doesn’t do any checks on the type of file being uploaded.
I don’t know what sort of checks the plugin does, if any, on user level, but these things should have been warning signs to you.

In reply to: query_posts not excluding categoryYour original use of query_posts was wrong. It doesn’t use an assignment operator, it is a function. I don’t know why the fix wouldn’t be working for you, but you could try this method.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: query_posts not excluding categorythe number is the category number. You don’t have to use 3.
I know what the number is, but you said in your OP that you’re trying to exclude category 3, so you would have to use 3 to exclude category 3.

In reply to: Is there a conditional for no content?Not totally sure, but the global variable
$contentholds the content of a post.So I wonder if you could use
if(empty($content))in some way to check if a post has no content?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: where do I log in?Control panel meaning the WordPress administration panel or your server’s control panel?
WordPress: http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php
Your server, if it uses cPanel: http://yoursite.com/cpanel
