I believe the problem lies here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Under the heading “Using functions.php

From the page:

Unlike style.css, the functions.php of a child theme does not override its counterpart from the parent. Instead, it is loaded in addition to the parent’s functions.php. (Specifically, it is loaded right before the parent’s file.)

And most importantly:

Do not copy the full content of functions.php of the parent theme into functions.php in the child theme.

Hey popwireless – I had the same issue last night.

I installed the firewall plugin and the wassup plugin, both in an effort to better secure my site and to be able to see when someone is trying to hack it.

Things went crazy from there. when I tried to go to my site, I could not access it because the browser said it was trying to redirect and would wind up going nowhere. Firewall sent about a hundred “attack stopped” emails to me, each one saying that my own ip address was trying to make the request. It was always that screen res message.

So I couldn’t get to my site or my admin panel. I went in via my ftp access and deleted the wassup plugin, but that still didn’t stop it.

I had to use ftp to delete firewall, and everything went back to normal with my site.

What a mess.

Thanks to this piece:

I did some more digging for back doors, and ironically I found two of them in the only files I didn’t delete from the server when I rebuilt my blog – the uploads folder.

Searched uploads for any .php files first, and found both of them. Then I went through them on a file-for-file basis just to assure that there are only jpegs and gifs. Looks like it’s clean.

Be sure to check your uploads folders!

I had the issue the other day as well. I followed all the steps that I could from the links I’ve seen and it looks like I have it cleaned up. Basically deleted all wordpress files and started anew.

Here is what I found: there was a modification to the header.php file. I don’t know what the mod was, because the very first thing I did was overwrite header.php with my last backup. That took care of the redirect, but I went ahead with the full site delete / rebuild. I was on 2.8.x and it was time to move to 2.9.1 anyway (which I tried a while back but failed because I had problems getting from MySQL 4.0 to 5.0 – another story…)

Anyway, after reinstalling I went through all my users and changed their passwords, as recommended by one of the sites. In doing so, I found that one of the users profile page had script embedded in the email address field, and had administrator privileges. I notice this as I was changing his password and when I went to save the profile, it errored on the email address, and again my antivirus software alerted to a threat.

So I deleted that user account, but now I’m wondering if there was anything left behind as a result of importing this hacked user account into my new platform (?)

well if someone else gets same problem, they can fix it by,

1. keeping sidebars float:right (in this case my sidebars are on the right hand side).
2. remove the php get_sidebar function under single.php from above the get_footer function, and place it at top under the get_header function.

Dude, thanks a BILLION for this. I’ve put in 3-4 hours trying to figure this out before I found your post!

I don’t think it’s capable of “crunching” 1MB files. I’ve had that happen to me before, I don’t think it has anything to do with the HTTP errors that people in this thread have gotten. Sorry 🙁

It gets to the end of the crunching and then shows an http error. It uploaded the file, but did not create a medium-size version. So when I post it in a thread, it shows up full-size and then you have to go through tedium to size it down for the post.

Do you really want to upload files that big?

Of course. That is the size the camera produces, and they’re shared with family. Do I really want to have to downsize everything before I move it to the page? Especially when I’m encouraging my wife to write to our blog and put pictures up, and she’s not going to do it if she has to edit and resize every picture first.
