Well, three things.

(1) I think the error you received is because you tried to download the file when you received the save-as pop-up window. Try it again, and for the first pop-up select open. That should get you to a display containing the file.

(2) Is there a plug-in that allows me to download a file. I should imagine that this is a common issue and I would think that it has been solved.

(3) I looked at the PHP file. I don’t know where to install it, and I’m not sure of how it is invoked. I tend to think that whenever a Query URL is detected the function(s) is called but I don’t understand how to make this linkage. Could you guide me through the steps?

I am not using a plugin. I am directly encoding the download information into the base document. I am new to WordPress and am unfamiliar with what I should do. More appropriately, I keep a local archive of all materials to enable quick recovery from loss, migration to other sites, and direct testing by using an HTML browser.

Is there an alternative that I should use.

The theme is twenty-sixteen.

Look at “http://parkpaseohoa.slipbits.com/wp/2016/01/20/pphoa-status-2000-2014/’

About midway down there is an “Author: …” section. at the end of the section there is a “View all posts by PPHOA” that I’d like to remove.

Sorry. I changed it this morning (2:00AM) out of frustration.

Previously I had two post widgets (Appearance->Widgets->Recent Posts). I was unable to associate a post widget with a category so all posts went to both widgets. I got frustrated and changed it all to Appearance->Widgets->Categories. The tag line is “a list or dropdown of categories”. What I’m hoping is that this turns into a dropdown of categories and clicking on the category will get a list or dropdown of posts in that category. So far there are two categories and one post in each category. Clicking on the category in the dropdown gets me to that single post. I hope that this behavior changes the way I want.

What I initially set to do was to have each category separately listed with recent items in each category listed underneath. I have been unsuccessful in this.

I am a strict newbie. I’m trying to get up to speed by reading and asking. Thank you for answering. I hope that you can help.

thanks.

I have read all of the top level articles and looked at some of the nested articles. I will continue searching but I have some questions.

The top level first article, https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked, and I believe all or most of the others are for WordPress 2.7.1. I am running WordPress 4.4. Are there significant differences between the two?

Several references provide indication of difficulty with finding errant scripts, directories and files. I don’t understand this. suppose I have a pristine copy of WordPress (downloaded but not installed) and I have a fault with the installed version. As a first level search couldn’t I do something like:

> cd pristine/
> ls -Al | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f5,9 > pristine
> cd installed
> ls -Al | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f5,9 > /pristine/installed
> diff pristine installed | grep '>'

What I am comparing is the unsorted files and file sizes in the installed and pristine directories. This process detects all files with different sizes and all files and folders not part of the initial installation. The reduced set of files and folders are then suspicious, but is to me important is the reduction in search time. A few simple commands search all files.
s
The other note is does WordPress distribute a manifest with file sizes and directories as part of their release (and should they)? If they do then the provided data can be used directly without searching the pristine directory.

And as another fillip, does WordPress provide a signature for each file? If they do provide a signature and provide the algorithm used to calculate the signature then this can be used to validate existing files and will identify some valid files with bogus data which have file sizes matching the distributed version.

I have to admit that I am a complete novice (and dumb to boot), but the articles that I read stress the search process as being difficult and near impossible. And yet, the discovery of altered files appears easy. Further, with a little support from WordPress, it should be possible to identify files integral to correct operation which should never be changed and to identify pristine file content. And etc.

I guess that I don’t understand. could you point out articles which explain why my reasoning is faulty or could you explain why the reasoning is faulty?
