In reply to: Illegal links injected into postsThis topic has been covered before, but I’ll post a fresh response.
- Delete your WordPress installation, including the wp-config.php. You do not need to delete your uploads. Those don’t seem to be affected but give your upload directories a good look through and make sure no funny files are in there (ie. upd.php is a common one)
- Delete your database user that has all permissions to the database connected to your WP account and create a new user with all permissions and a new password. KEEP YOUR OLD DATABASE – there hasn’t been reports of it being compromised.
- Upload a fresh squeezed WordPress files from WordPress.org including all the plugins and theme(s) you were using FROM WORDPRESS.ORG. If there was any plugin or theme not uploaded from WordPress.org, it’s at your own risk.
- Set up your wp-config.php file to login to your Old database using the New username and password
- Should be good to go
Once you have completed that, DELETE THE CACHE ON YOUR BROWSER and happy WordPressing!!!
Post more questions if I left out anything. But the key is do not keep anything but the DB and YOUR uploads from the previous install. Should take a couple of hours but when you’re done you’ll be fine.
ONE LAST NOTE: DO NOT USE TIMTHUMB AND IF YOU DO, MAKE SURE IT’S CONFIGURED NOT TO BE ACCEPTING CRAP FROM A REMOTE SERVER…ONLY LOCALHOST STUFF SHOULD BE PERMITTED.
Best wishes.

In reply to: [TimThumb Vulnerability] iframe hackI know the last post was over 3 days ago but just to inform, I went a head and used the old database after deleting the WordPress files and keeping the upload directory, etc.
My site is clean of infection. Just do as Ipstenu said and you’ll be fine. Try not to over complicate it, simply follow the instructions layed out and you’ll be back to green meadows in no time.
The only thing different that I did was deleted the old database user (and consequently removed the permissions) and created a new database user with a new password and added them to a NEW wp-config.php file…the last one had code injected within it. nasty stuff

In reply to: High school band websiteDepends on the content you’re going to be presenting. Profiles for directors and first chair students, performance dates, parent and student information, instrument requirements and where to purchase, and who will be updating the site, etc.
Your theme will need to be able to display information that will be easy to read and quick reading for the impatient parents.
I’d suggest to determine what information will be presented and take it from there. A lot of the free WP themes can do this for you but they will need to be custom set up (in a Child Theme) for your needs.
Best wishes and hope this was helpful.

In reply to: How to decrease content width?We’re going to add the following code to your CSS (style.css) Child Theme file after the
@importrule..page .entry { // This is where your content is resting margin: 0 auto; // This tells your Entry to center off width: 468px; // You can adjust the width to your specs }This is only a suggestion, but I hope it helps

In reply to: What happens if I rename a plugin?If you’re not on a production installation, try it out and find out. If the plugin is active, the worst that would happen is that it will deactivate and you’d have to reactivate it via the Dashboard.
There’s a bunch of times where I’ll purposefully “break” a plugin to better understand it. I do it on a development WP install and don’t even mess with production sites if I’m not 100% sure it will work.
If you are on a production installation, I suggest installing a local host server on your computer using a program like XAMPP and installing WordPress locally. Then you can run crazy experiments.

In reply to: Subscribe to RSS feeds of choiceI’m actually talking about external RSS feeds
My bad, that’s a custom job. Use a plugin, go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ and look for a plugin that gives you this functionality. Short of you building it yourself, this is a custom feature that a plugin can handle.
Questions comes to mind: will it echoed in the Dashboard or in a static page?
Is there a plugin or simple code to be able to do this?
I have built similar features using WP for the Dashboard. Do you know how to use the built in RSS reader within WordPress to generate an HTML output of an RSS Feed? I’ve never come across a “simple” script for this.
Additionally, you need to generate specific permissions for different user roles and store those variables within the database so that each user keeps their own feeds and configurations. It’s simple alright, but you need to know what you’re doing. Hope the plugin directory helps. 🙂
