I haven’t been able to get WordPress.com stats for days. I get the same error message about not having authorization, even though the stats worked flawlessly for about two years.
Saw the thread about installing JetPack. I deactivated (but did not delete) WordPress.com stats, but can’t activate the JetPack stats. Then I deactivated JetPack, but can’t get the parts of WordPress.com stats to work again — that is, the parts that weren’t broken before are now broken, too. In addition, WP-Stats-Dashboard is also broken now.
Do I have to trash both WP-Stats-Dashboard and WordPress.com stats in order to get JetPack to work? I hate to trash them when about 80% of the features of JetPack are not available to me and also don’t seem to work.
Why hasn’t this been fixed yet?

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?Is there any other way to get tech support besides this forum? I could spend the rest of my life trying to find the problem at this rate.
The problem, again: I have one blog page that has gone bad for me. (There are over 60 others that are perfectly fine.) I see nothing unusual in the HTML for that page. On this one, two major events happen.
First, every hyperlink defaults so that it links back to a non-existent page on my own blog (instead of the actual HREF that I designated).
Second, every time I type either an apostrophe or a quotation mark into the entry, it creates a long string of text in the output as shown at the top of this support request (the non-existent MySpace links).
None of my other blog pages do this. Erasing all the text on this page and starting over does not eradicate it. Have I been hacked or is this a known error with a plug-in or what? Why would it only happen to one page? Where might the instructions live that cause just this one page to go haywire?
I appreciate the fact that some people in this forum do respond, but right now this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don’t have that much time — nor the coding skills — to look for it. Surely this has happened before and someone knows how to fix it?

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?I’m now doing a file-by-file comparison of a downloaded folder of the latest version of WordPress to the updated (2.9.2) directory on my website.
I did find a suspicious index.php file with the words “silence is golden” written in it. Deleting this file has not eradicated the problem, however. I think I’m getting closer…but where else might I look to find the culprit?

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?Please just take a look at the blog page, then, and give me advice on what to do and where to do it.

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?The problem seems to be in the header of the file. I confirmed this by viewing the source code through the Safari browser. I can see the header there, whereas I don’t know how to see it on the edit page for this blog entry.
How can I access — and edit — the header code for my files? Is there a button or screen on the WordPress dashboard that lets me access this header? Where?
Here’s what I think is the troublemaker–the code in this header. Sorry for the discretion (not listing my URL here), but these forums are searchable on Google…and I don’t want that much attention. If this still isn’t enough info or if I still can’t get to the problem, I’ll provide it.
[Moderated]Please use a pastebin to display large amounts of code as discussed here.

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?I’ve spent hours on this and still can’t figure out why the same “onclick” thing keeps happening, even if I erase the content of this blog entry and start over again.
I’m not a programmer, just a pedestrian blogger who knows some basic 1990s HTML. Besides looking in the HTML view in the editor window of this particular entry, where else should I look to locate the source of the problem? Because the HTML code on that page looks fine to me.
What I’ve discovered: every time I enter a quotation mark or an apostrophe in the text, it turns into an “onclick” command. All the hyperlinks, though they look normal, link now to a nonexistent page on my own site “…/onclick,” and nothing I do can change this.
I have 60 other blog entries that are fine. This is a podcast blog with tons of hyperlinks in it, and as far as I know, most of them are still OK, except for this page. Any ideas on how to fix this, and is it a hack, or some freak occurrence?

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?Thanks. The problem’s not resolved yet, but I did install the plug-in and also ran unmaskparasites.com. Nothing’s turned up yet.
BTW, when I load the affected blog page, I also get this error message in a pop-up window:
“The page “[name of my blog] » Blog Archive » [name of my blog page]” has content of MIME type “ onclick=”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.”

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?I just looked in the files for my theme. I don’t see anything obvious there. I don’t know where the find the core files (where should I look?)
I’ve only had this happen to about 2 blog posts out of 60. It seems to have been triggered by some spam that got attached as a comment to an image file, but deleting the image file and all the text in the blog post does no good. The code comes back again as soon as I re-create the post. It looks normal in the editor, but when it goes live, the whole blog post gets replaced by hundreds of lines of that code.
Can you tell me where to find the files I need to check? Thanks.
