My hosts added a similar line for spamd, but that was a process, a cmd, not whatever it is that is causing the constant LFD errors. * Anyone had to deal with this, anyone know what exclusions to add to the file? * Thanks * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/err_too_many_redirects-23/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/err_too_many_redirects-23/#post-8377985) * No ideas? * Is there a way to get the data out of the site and replace the WP files, hopefully resolving the issue?

In this case, the cure seems far worse than the problem. * A harmless pop-up I can dismiss is a nuisance, but easier to to close and forget vs. the many hours of work involved in the solution which may or may not work. * Maybe someone will have had my particular issue that I didn’t see addressed at those links. * Was speaking to a web designer the other day and he mentioned avoiding WP designs due to all these vulnerabilities. So far I still like my WP sites but wish they weren’t so easy to hack. I have taken standard precautions such as blocking admin other than via my IP. * Thanks. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [can't get images and text to space properly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-images-and-text-to-space-properly/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-images-and-text-to-space-properly/#post-5367160) * I just looked on other pages of the site and I have that problem all over the place…text is appearing to the right of an image instead of below it.

I came here myself to see if I can find a replacement for the feature. It might just being lazy but I really like having the suggest and accept feature in Headspace. I would love to find a replacement that does what Headspace did before it became an unsupported product. * thanks, Linkup * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help with Portfolio model needed – confusion on images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-portfolio-model-needed-confusion-on-images/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-portfolio-model-needed-confusion-on-images/#post-4126890) * Hello Christine….I understand that WP makes the different sizes, but for the image on the page the code says img src=” “, so there is no image affiliated with the thumbnail. I could replace the image, but that doesn’t help me figure out how to change the URL so it knows what image to display. Somehow in the process of doing what I did the URL for the image got zapped. That is why the second image is missing..it isn’t that the image is missing, it is the link to the image is missing…does that make sense? * Thanks so much! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help with Portfolio model needed – confusion on images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-portfolio-model-needed-confusion-on-images/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-portfolio-model-needed-confusion-on-images/#post-4126880) * I went to Template Monster and it says the theme has been removed. I went to template_help.com and they don’t appear to have templates available despite the name so both links I have to a source of it have lead to a deadend. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help with Portfolio model needed – confusion on images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-portfolio-model-needed-confusion-on-images/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-portfolio-model-needed-confusion-on-images/#post-4126875) * I see a link to templatemonster and the theme says it is from template_help.com, but didn’t know that Portfolio had anything to do with either of those. Thought Portfolio was a part of WP. there is nothing on the Portfolio screens that indicates a source for it, as a result I thought it was a WP feature or option that I was unaware of. When I was looking for information I found yet another site that mentions something called Portfolio, but doesn’t seem to be related to a theme. * Guess I don’t understand the connection between the theme and Portfolio unless someone made a theme and they incorporated into it something called Portfolio. * Thanks * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [After trying to login in as admin, the blog now says "error"](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-trying-to-login-in-as-admin-the-blog-now-says-error/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-trying-to-login-in-as-admin-the-blog-now-says-error/#post-3454328) * I renamed the htaccess file and then the forgot password function worked and the blog is fine now.

I replaced Headspace with this program. Didn’t dawn on me until today that I had lost my GA data as nothing more was being sent as the value was dropped. * HeadSpace has a sitemodule plug-in to insert the GA code, but I don’t see it mentioned here? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Multiple WP sites hacked, help please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-wp-sites-hacked-help-please/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-wp-sites-hacked-help-please/#post-1880703) * mmmmm…. I think saying the “server” is exploitable vs. saying “some domains on the server” were exploitable. * It seems you are saying the server had less than desirable security which you don’t know and I don’t know either. * I had the server hardened, I have had it reviewed, and I have had it re-reviewed, and none of the geeks have found anything derelict at the server level. * I know that at least on some of the sites, passwords were very weak. It could be something that simple vs. a security weakness or a problem with WP. * I have just learned over time to deal with common denominators when trying to ascertain a problem which is how I ended up here. * It happens my server is backboned at the same place as suggested in one of the links provided above. And in turn, the geeks I hired work at their suggested support company, so I guess that is as good as it gets from that perspective 🙂 * Thanks again… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Multiple WP sites hacked, help please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-wp-sites-hacked-help-please/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-wp-sites-hacked-help-please/#post-1880700) * Hello… I paid to have the server hardened over and above how it came. It seems though that the hackers are always a step ahead. they exploit, a patch is made, they exploit, etc. * The only safe product is the one that doesn’t need security updates. A security update is essentially an admission of an existing security problem, which is a way of saying 3.03 had a problem, and 3.03 fixed a problem 3.02 had, etc. * Doesn’t that mean that 3.04 will get patched as a security problem will be found with it as well? * Since the hackers chose only the domains with WP made it suspicious that was their “door”. Maybe they just have a thing for WP sites. * Thanks! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Multiple WP sites hacked, help please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-wp-sites-hacked-help-please/) * Thread Starter [linkup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linkup/) * (@linkup) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-wp-sites-hacked-help-please/#post-1880577) * I am the host….so the ball is still in my court. Multiple domains belonging to multiple clients were affected, but it doesn’t seem they rooted the server or have root access of any kind. That is why I was thinking it was a WP exploit since they didn’t hack it at a server level and they only hacked domains that had WP installs. * Most of the info above helps those whose blog hasn’t been wiped out. The two worse offenses were cases in which it appears the whole database was wiped out. As a result, there is nothing to “save” or nothing to try to fix or upgrade. Seems like the only solution is to wipe out the whole blog directory and install a fresh copy of WP. * If WP is now “safe”, then what about plugins like “Secure WordPress”? I am trying to understand if WP is truly “safe”, or if in fact security plugins are needed and what else can be done. * I had found the provided links already (thanks) but they are mainly aimed at recovering from a hack, and the standard password change suggestion, but it didn’t appear there was much more to protect future attacks? * Seems the consensus is that WP is a “safe” program to run and all the problems are external to the program? * Thanks so much!
