    Thanks for the link, that’s a really informative article.
    For now I’ll wait and see, and if further problems arise, I’ll definitely be using that information.
    Thanks again

    Just one more thing…. If i wanted to find the potential backdoor files in question… would I need to search every file for base64_decode and decide if the file was malicious? Not sure how I would otherwise have done this.

    Thanks for your reply. I did in fact just replace the entire wp-admin folder and it seems to be working fine.
    Other posts on this particular hack said backdoors were most likely in wp-admin, though someone had found one in the plugins folder of wp-content.
    I did delete all inactive themes also.
    For now, I’ll wait and see if the problems stay fixed.
    Thanks again.

    after reading the codex I realized I need to use dynamic_sidebar() in my custom sidebar file, like so:

    <?php
if ( function_exists ( dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-custom') ) ) :
  dynamic_sidebar ('sidebar-custom');
 endif;
?>

    This code goes in my sidebar-custom.php file and is called in my template via get_sidebar(‘custom’);

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the tip… I ended up putting a condition in the code for the plugin that returned false if the post type was my custom post type.

    Now I need to add a custom sidebar, and not sure if your above solution is exactly what I need…

    I registered a sidebar in functions.php. It appears on the widgets page and I can add widgets to the sidebar. I can call the sidebar via get_sidebar(‘custom’), and it does indeed load sidebar-custom.php… BUT… it’s not displaying any of the content that is added in the widgets…

    What do i need to do to make sure that widget content is displayed?

    Thanks!

    The support forum on the plug-in site doesn’t work.
    So, from my noob understanding, there’s probably a way I can remove filters that activate the plugin that are hooked into the get_footer function… conceivably I could add code to functions.php for this?
    Any tips on what to look for and code in both the plug-in code and functions.php would be awesome.
    Thank you

    You’re right, the Theme Extension Plugin is doing it… I’ll guess I’ll hit their support site to find out how to supress it. (Just clicking it off for all pages won’t do, I need to just turn it off for my custom post types).
    Any suggestions welcome.

    Boban thanks for your reply, but I need to call the sidebar from within my own template, and NOT have it called automatically outside my template, if that makes sense.

    Sorry, forgot the page is still set to private. Suffice to say my template occupies the full width of the layout, and the sidebar is appearing underneath my custom content.

    I’m using twentyeleven theme.
    I’m not sure I understand the anatomy of wordpress quite well enough to know where the sidebar is being called from.
    The page is displayed using a custom template file called single-candidates.php. And the only way i can stop the sidebar is by commenting out get_footer() at the bottom of this file, But then the page isn’t properly finished, doesn’t hvae the WordPress credit, etc.

    Where else could the sidebar be called from?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your replies. I did in fact use a Custom Post Type, and it’s working.
    I used wp_editor() for extra custom fields.
    I have another issue or two but they’re different issues, so I’ll do a new post.
    Thanks again
