  • Okay…enough fun already…the “view your profile” link really does need to be directed back to the forum profile page until the ability to monitor replies is added to the new page.

    I would like to know what others think of this.

    I think if your code is clean, and if you are running the latest code, and if your file permissions are set properly, then you probably can even leave xmlrpc.php in place and not have to worry.

    I’m running the latest codebase at the site below, have directories set to 755 and files set to 644. I have some suspicious subscribers accounts created in the past few days, but haven’t been hacked yet. Not to say I can’t be, but just hasn’t happened yet. I have a feeling if I were running outdated WP code, then I would already be a victim.

    Far as I can tell this was just one of the WP “silence is golden” empty index.php

    Maybe true, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only file that’s been hacked. I’ve cleaned up other php apps from this kind of hack where several of the default php files had the base64 code inserted as the first line in the file. I wouldn’t take a chance of it only being in index.php….I would replace all default code with a clean codebase.

    We had the index.php file modified

    The lesson here is to replace all the default WP source code with new code. Then look for any other files that may have been added….or hacked in other programs. If you have custom themes/plugins, then they need to be closly searched as well.

    How easy is it to decrypt passwords store in WP?

    It’s an MD5 hash…there are an endless number of returns in google for md5 decrypter………

    In reply to: Calendar Widget

    You can’t do that with the default calendar…it just displays links to posts on the days you post. Look for a calendar plugin to do what you want…several of them in the plugins db.

    You have been hacked. See this post.

    You will need to upgrade and make sure to find and remove any remaining hacks on your site.

    Reset your permalinks in the Settings/Permalinks and see if that helps.

    Click on my profile for my site…contact me through the contact page there.

    +1 for the ability to monitor replies to forum threads.

    Also, I edited my profile to add myself to the consultants list and my gravatar disappeared…don’t see a way to add it back in the new profile. It’s still there in the old profile view…now just trying to remember my password and/or what email I used to create the account 😉

    EDIT: Disregard the gravatar problem…I also changed my email address and didn’t have that one added at the gravatar site…my dumb mistake.

    I would suggest you upgrade then…see this:

    Set WP to show a static homepage…see the following video for details.

    You can’t get rid of it since it actually makes the background of your content. You could do a couple of things.

    1. Make a copy of kubrickbgwide.jpg and rename it kubrickbg-ltr.jpg and replace the original kubrickbg-ltr.jpg with it. That will remove the gray background and make the background of the sidebar white like the body, or

    2. Open header.php in the theme and find the following code that calls the sidebar background image based on the text direction.

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
    
    <?php
    // Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
    if ( empty($withcomments) && !is_single() ) {
    ?>
    	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg-<?php bloginfo('text_direction'); ?>.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>
    
    </style>

    Change the first line after the IF statement to the same as the second line like below — essentially it will always call kubrickbgwide.jpg.

    <?php
    // Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
    if ( empty($withcomments) && !is_single() ) {
    ?>
    	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>
    
    </style>

    Remember, rename this theme if you edit it…if you don’t, then if you do an auto-upgrade in the future, it will be overwritten and you will lose your changes.

    Several ways to go with this, but why not just install the blog in root…set a static frontpage and then create a page called “blog” for your post page? See the following video for how to do this.

    In Bluehost it lists the domain as an addon domain.

    My bad then. I thought an addon domain was when you had one hosting account like widgets.com and then you created a subdirectory there, such as widgets.com/gadgets and then you could set gadgets.com to resolve to that subdirectory and it looks like a completely separate account at gadgets.com — in effect, having one hosting account and hosting two (or more) separate domains on that single hosting account.
