You are exposing Apache index directory views and displaying errors on the server when an error is encountered. The problem with the first is that it exposes the contents of directories that dont have index files. And the second exposes file paths on your server. Both can reveal vital information to a bot or hacker. * You can fix the first in Apache by make sure the indexes are turned off in the Options diective of your .htaccess file. Here is an example of an options directive with a no indexes setting: * `Options -Indexes` * and the second can be resolved by turning error display off in your wp-config file. look here for more on the wp-config file: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Configure_Error_Logging](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Configure_Error_Logging) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SpeakUp!

I’d suggest not using the plugin until the vulnerability is patched. * I realize that you didn’t recognize it at the onset but generally speaking it’s better to notify plugin authors privately regarding security vulnerabilities rather than posting about them in a public setting. * Hopefully a mod will see this and remove the link (modlook attached) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Thematic] post classes missing after thematic update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-classes-missing-after-thematic-update/) * [Gene Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emhr/) * (@emhr) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-classes-missing-after-thematic-update/#post-3752014) * I think this link may help: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/1031-broke-child-theme](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/1031-broke-child-theme) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Remove comment block from template](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comment-block-from-template/) * [Gene Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emhr/) * (@emhr) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comment-block-from-template/#post-3716207) * Hi, * Thematic’s documentation and support forums have moved to: * [http://thematictheme.com/forums](http://thematictheme.com/forums) and [http://docs.thematictheme.com](http://docs.thematictheme.com) * The themeshaper forums and guide are still a good reference for Thematic in general but may be out of date with the current version of the theme. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Widget Context] 0.8.1 Returning incorrect "true" for "is_active_sidebar()" and "](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/081-returning-incorrect-true-for-is_active_sidebar-and/) * [Gene Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emhr/) * (@emhr) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/081-returning-incorrect-true-for-is_active_sidebar-and/#post-3599165) * My pull request was merged.

Which means that you’d also need to rethink the overall layout and width of the content div. * I’d suggest adding your form as a text widget to one or more of the other widgetized areas that Thematic has to offer. The index-top, index-insert, index-bottom, single-top, single-bottom, page-top, and page-bottom asides are all viable alternatives that give you the width of the content div which will work better with your Wufoo form. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [GianlucaGuarini Black&white image jquery in WP?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gianlucaguarini-blackwhite-image-jquery-in-wp/) * [Gene Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emhr/) * (@emhr) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gianlucaguarini-blackwhite-image-jquery-in-wp/#post-3544033) * This may not be so good either: * > add_action(‘init’, ‘boererepublieke_scripts’); * The problem with hooking on init is it’s gonna load the scripts in admin pages views also which my not be necessary and could cause issues. * The code you posted earlier will work by itself if you change a few things. * Start over and try this: * ``` function boererepublieke_scripts() { wp_register_script( 'black-white', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jQuery.BlackAndWhite.min.js', array('jquery')); wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); wp_enqueue_script('black-white'); } add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'boererepublieke_scripts'); function boererepublieke_bw() { // is_post is deprecated… see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags for current template tags if( is_single() ) { ?> btw: yesterday I tried to update the theme and broke my website… It’s now update > correctly… * One major problem I see is that it appears you’re using Thematic and the theme has been modified directly. * If you intend on moving forward with customizing a theme that is distributed by WordPress, you should probably change the name of the theme in the style.css. This will protect your client or some future developer from upgrading theme, which will overwrite any and all the modifications to the theme. * It’s unfortunate for the site owner if this is the case. They are boxed into a corner by an outdated theme that uses deprecated functions. The theme will eventually fail to work with WordPress and there are security implications as well. * Creating a child theme is the best choice when building off a publicly distributed theme.
