Yeah those 2 themes do look very similar.

Nobody is being selfish. Of the hundreds of thousands of WordPress users only a dozen or so hang out here and help out on a regular basis. Do you see the number of support requests coming in on a daily basis? You do the math. You’ve progressed this far so obviously you have at least a rudimentary knowledge of how WP works. Why don’t you pop in from time to time and answer a few questions like the rest of the people who volunteer their time do.

All of your links render 404s. Try resetting your permalinks.

You have bigger problems than bullets. You have been hacked. There is a crap load of spam links at the bottom of your page. Might want to peruse the threads in the link below as they contain some good info.

Hi LilysGramma,

You’re not stupid nor do you seem like it to me – just inexperienced at maintaining a web site. That’s fine, you’ll gain the required knowledge as you go as did the rest of us. I’m sure you possess knowledge I don’t have. 🙂

On to the problem. Open sidebar.php and you will see several instances of this …

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/ads/125-ad.jpg" />

That is calling a file located at YOURSITE.COM/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/ads/125-ad.jpg which in this case is,

http://www.myheartvoice.com/wp-content/themes/pink-orchid/ads/125-ad.jpg

Let’s go over to your theme’s subfolder called “ads” where you see the file 125-ad.jpg which is an image.

You can either create a new image with the same name and upload it to that subfolder OR create a new image with a different name and upload it to that subfolder. If you choose the latter you then need to edit sidebar.php –>

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/ads/125-ad.jpg" />

so that it reads,

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/ads/NewImageName" />

I can see it. Try clearing your browser’s cache.

Scott,

The vast majority of WordPress themes do not carry this code. Where you will see its use rampant is certain theme galleries. They either design the themes themselves, place spammy links in the footer then use Base64 to make sure you can’t tamper with them … OR … they take EXISTING themes, remove the original author credits and replace them with their own and then stick the links in footer.

As I said, its usually done to protect their spammy links. BUT this technique could easily be adapted for something more evil. Bottom line is you don’t know what the code is so uploading it to your server is very dangerous.

The vast majority of WordPress theme designers are reputable and trustworthy people who DO NOT engage in this practice.

If you want to learn how to decode this crap visit any PHP forum.

The file functions.php is located in the wp-includes folder and I’m certain its absence is what is causing the error experienced by fancom.

With respect to your problem web_M8 are you sure it’s not there? A blank site is usually caused by a PHP error such as whitespace where none should be. Double check wp-config.php to ensure their is no space before the opening <?php tag and after the closing ?> tag. Seeing how this is a fresh install you probably aren’t yet using any plugins – or are you? If so deactivate.

Have you checked your error logs? What do they say?
