I too can log into the dashboard; all functions work just fine. I haven’t changed my theme, nor have I edited it, so I don’t know how a PHP error could have been introduced. I have had Comments Off from the start to make hacking more difficult, but I wonder. Have I/we been hacked? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] specified file "date-icon.png" doesn't exist.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specified-file-date-iconpng-doesnt-exist/) * Thread Starter [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/specified-file-date-iconpng-doesnt-exist/#post-5166768) * My apologies. The .7.9.7 version was for a different plugin. My first version with the All-in-one-event-calendar was 1.10.11. * Thank you, I appreciate your offer of help in taking this to the Time.ly site. In the end, I thought it would take longer to figure out what was missing & how to get it back or that I would lose my data anyway than it would take to to cut my losses and uninstall & then reinstall the plugin. So I did the latter. Yeah, I lost my data, but such is life. * I figured that my manual deletion of the v1.10.11 plugin files messed things up, i.e. updating a plugin may save some of the current version’s files. * Now I have v.2.1.1 and a sort-of working calendar with the same problems that several others in this forum are having with it. * So, this issue can be marked as resolved. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twelve] editor-style.css, style.css & child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-stylecss-stylecss-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-stylecss-stylecss-child-theme/#post-5106904) * … or do I do what I did to create the child style.css – e.g. * create a file named editor-style.css and place * /* Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child Description: Twenty Twelve Child Theme Author:( enter author’s name here) Template: twentytwelve * */ * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../twentytwelve/ editor-style.css”); * at the top and then put only the changes in this file? * Or can there be only one file with this same comment in it? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twelve] editor-style.css, style.css & child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-stylecss-stylecss-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-stylecss-stylecss-child-theme/#post-5106903) * Whoa, this isn’t resolved. I’ve been going thru the style.css with a fine-toothed comb and cannot get changes in style.css to affect the post Preview at all. Yet an earlier change I made to the style.css via a child theme to remove white space above the featured post is still working just fine. So my child theme is activated and working. * Is the post Preview governed by the editor-style.css (created for the tinyMCE editor)? * Will the actual publishing of the post look different from the Preview because I’ve changed the style.css, but not the editor-style.css? * I’d like what I see in the dashboard WYSIWYG editor to match the style that I want published. * So it seems I do want to edit the editor-style.css in the child theme. * To edit it, do I add an [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../twentytwelve/editor-style.css”); line to the style.css in my child theme?… or do I add an edited editor-style.css to my child theme folder (and upload it)? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twelve] editor-style.css, style.css & child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-stylecss-stylecss-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-stylecss-stylecss-child-theme/#post-5106859) * *groan* I was afraid of that. So something else in the parent style.css was preventing Twenty Twelve from responding to the inline styling of the table and list tags. * What else in the style.css affects table and list spacing besides elements and classes that have table and list … oh shoot, that’s a different topic. I gotta start a new thread to ask that Q. * At least I won’t continue to think I may need to edit the editor-style.css to stop it from interfering with the style.css. It appears style.css interferes with itself in this case. * This thread is resolved.

It’s been four days, and semalt.semalt. com no longer visits my site. It used to visit once or twice a day. * I’m interested in hearing how the Google Captcha (recaptcha) plugin works for this problem. More referers pop up every day; I’d rather not have to update this spammer list in my .htaccess weekly. * I added SSL to my sites, not for commerce, but to protect login info. It’s my understanding that the logins to our WorPress sites are unencrypted unless we, individually, do something to encrypt them. Should some miscreant decide to eavesdrop or sniff unencrypted data, our logins would be there for the taking, especially if we login in a public wifi hotspot. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Askimet 3.0.1 stops me from showing the list of Pages in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/askimet-301-stops-me-from-showing-the-list-of-pages-in-admin/) * [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/askimet-301-stops-me-from-showing-the-list-of-pages-in-admin/#post-5097404) * Go to the main page for this plugin here at wordpress.org and click on the Developers tab. Among other things, it has a list of previous versions that you can download. At least that’s what the heading says. I didn’t try to download anything. G’luck. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Activity Log] feature request – re failed login attempts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-re-failed-login-attempts/) * Thread Starter [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-re-failed-login-attempts/#post-5089412) * Ah, now I see. Thanks for the explanation. The username/role info is now in a different column on the event line. And I’m getting the publicly displayed name instead of the username. It’s all good. * But what does it mean when the Role is “System” as in: Username/publicly displayed name: Unknown, Role: System Alert: failed login(s) detected * What does a System role allow? It’s not on my dashboard’s list of Roles. How can I get a System role? * What does it mean when I log in and sometimes it says my role is Administrator and other times it says my role is Unknown – yet I’ve never changed my role? And my logins were always successful. * Yes, I’ve noticed that when another Administrator on my site has a failed login attempt it shows as his publicly displayed name and the role is Unknown. That user confirmed that it truly was he who was trying to log in. The username was correct, but the password was not. …But this is not my situation. I should say this happened several times in May, but not yet in July. * Thanks. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [How to block semalt.com from visiting your WordPress website…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-block-semaltcom-from-visiting-your-wordpress-website/) * [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-block-semaltcom-from-visiting-your-wordpress-website/page/2/#post-4677169) * Will Seath’s lines also work as is for semalt.semalt.com or do I need to add a SetEnvIfNoCase Referer semalt.semalt.com spammer=yes? line to my .htaccess file? * My site stats reported a referrer from semalt.semalt.com/crawler.php at the exact same moment that my security log showed a failed login attempt. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Virus In WordPress In .Zip Version is 3.8.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/virus-in-wordpress-in-zip-version-is-381/) * [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/virus-in-wordpress-in-zip-version-is-381/#post-4782181) * Where do we find the hash of the downloaded file? * In the DOwnload Archive, I clicked on the md5 link for a zip file and saw one series of numbers & letters. I clicked on the sha1 link for the same zip file and saw a different series of letters & numbers. * I downloaded the corresponding zip file & looked in the readme.txt and various folders for anything that looks like either of those two series of letters & numbers, but I haven’t found anything like them. * Where are they in the download? Or does “compare a hash of the downloaded file” mean something else? * I googled md5 and sha1 and got (along with a lot of confusing stuff) the sense they’re used to determine if a file has been tampered with. But if the zip file is downloaded from wordpress.org, how could it be anything but ok? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Errors when viewing plugins page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-when-viewing-plugins-page/) * [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-when-viewing-plugins-page/#post-4765363) * Thank you, Jashan! Thank you GR8FL for asking for the step-by-step! * I also was getting sdk’s Warning and Fatal error messages. I had tried commenting out Line 160 per another thread’s solution to these messages, but that made matters worse. I was doubtful that deleting Line 160 would accomplish anything. * What does worse mean? After commenting out Line 160, the page loading time increased from 1 minute 25 seconds to 4 minutes 10 seconds. No matter what I clicked on in the dashboard, I got Apache server crash messages instead of Warning and Fatal Error messages. * Before commenting out Line 160, my site’s pages, including the Calendar page, hadn’t been affected by the Warning and Fatal Error messages. After commenting out, all site pages gave a version of 404 Page Not Found. * I was ready to throw my laptop out the window and and have nothing to do with time.ly ever again. * Problem was, I really liked the calendar features. * I was leery of deleting Line 160, but figured if I could speed up the page loading time, I’d be less frustrated. I’d try the “using FTP, rename the all-in-one-calendar folder (or maybe the php file, I forget which) and then go to the dashboard and click on this plugin to reset it” suggestion mentioned in another thread on fixing these Warnings and Fatal Error messages. * So I followed Jashan’s steps. The ‘AI1EC_DEBUG’ line is almost at the bottom of the constants.php file. I set it to false. * The Apache crashing and Warnings and Fatal Error messages stopped instantly! My site pages returned! My page loadings dropped to 5 seconds! * All is good with the world! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-cannot-use-object-of-type-stdclass-2/) * [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-cannot-use-object-of-type-stdclass-2/page/2/#post-4686247) * Ok, my face is red. * I put the cursor at the start of line one in the all-in-one-event-calendar.php file that I opened in Notepad and began scrolling down. * The line number shows at the bottom right of the file window, along with the Col number. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-cannot-use-object-of-type-stdclass-2/) * [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-cannot-use-object-of-type-stdclass-2/page/2/#post-4686246) * Ok, so I researched the phrase “comment out” and found it means to add 2 forward slashes to the start of a line – as in // (line 160 text here) * And if there are multiple lines in the comment, then to bracket the lines with/**/ as in /* (line 160 text here) */ * But what I can’t tell is how to know which line is Line 160. They’re not numbered. * Do space lines between sections of text count as a line in this case? * Does { count as a line if it’s by itself? Or is it considered part of the instruction that comes after? * What about multiple-lined comments bracketed with /* —*/? Does the whole comment count as one line? * What would help is if someone would post the text of Line 160 (and Line 128 for that person) here, so we’d know what to look for. * Thanks. * (and yes, this belongs here and not in a separate post. Why should someone have to hunt in the forums for half an hour or so for a post that explains what this post’s solution “Comment out Line 160” means?) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Activity Log] upgrade to 0.6 = infinite DO loop in Refresh Alerts List](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-to-06-infinite-do-loop-in-refresh-alerts-list/) * Thread Starter [friedVol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friedvol/) * (@friedvol) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-to-06-infinite-do-loop-in-refresh-alerts-list/#post-4507859) * Sorry, I just realized I hadn’t actually asked for help. * Would you please tell me what is making the Security Audit Log continually refresh without end, thus never showing log activity? * Would you please tell me what I need to do to fix this problem?
