In reply to: [Plugin: WP-DBManager] Wrong path after upgrade.Thanks Lester! That fixed it as far as I can tell, I tried the test you suggested but I got a 404 error instead of a 403 restricted message. Here was my path. com/wp-content/backup-db/.htaccess WordPress is installed as a CMS on the site.

In reply to: Possible 2.8 Bugs?I don’t think it’s the same thing, the directories are not the same, there is no such path.

In reply to: Possible 2.8 Bugs?Oh, almost forgot, if I deactivate WP-DB Manager, the big red warning goes away.

In reply to: [Plugin: Contact Form 7] Failed to Send Your Message.If you are on a Windows server that’s pretty much the kiss of death. No matter what the tell you about being compatible with WordPress, it always runs better on Unix, have your host move you, I moved mine and all the sudden it just got better……. 🙂

In reply to: Contact Form 7 Security VulnerabilityOk, so is Contact Form 7 safe to use now? I seem to remember seeing a post about issues with IE, not a security issue though.

In reply to: Are Plugins Safe?In her post Sara is saying her contact page can be modified to work with most templates. At the moment it does not work so well with the template I am looking at using which is Elegant Grunge. I like the template and the author’s a good guy so I am leaning toward using it. When I tried Sara’s page on it, it looks odd, I just hope I can work out the code, like I said, I not much of a coder. I had also been looking at Contact Form 7 as an alternative till this last problem.
So you are saying Contact Form 7 was singled out for attack because it’s popular?

In reply to: Are Plugins Safe?Yes it was, there is a lot of good stuff on her blog, she seems to know what she is doing. What did you think of her code for the contact form? You know, it’s kinda odd, I mention security issues in contact forms and a little later I notice a post about security issues with Contact Form 7. Those spammers are relentless! 🙁

In reply to: Are Plugins Safe?Thanks Sam,
At the moment, the Google Cart is a future issue. Right now I am more focused on the gallery and contact form features. I am looking at using a plugin called “Slidezoom”, it’s a Highslide JS plugin, I am using Highslide with success on my site at the moment, here’s a page. http://www.timage.com/wedding-photography-gallery-three.html I want to keep my gallery the same on the new site, so far, the other plugins don’t work the same. I’m hoping “Slidezoom” will work. I’ll look at the contact form plugins on here and see if I can find one with strong security.
This is the post I found about secure contact forms. http://www.bloggingtips.com/2008/08/24/create-a-contact-page-i/

In reply to: Are Plugins Safe?Thank you Sam,
I am new to WordPress, and there are many things I do not know. I had discovered this blog http://www.stuffbysarah.net and a related blog http://www.bloggingtips.com. There was a post on there about spammers using contact form plugins to send spam. Naturally this got me and my friend wondering about security. I thought that plugins and themes on here were checked for malware, it’s good to know they are. Right now I do not have an active WordPress site except for my personal blog. My plan is to convert my site over to a WordPress CMS, but there are some issues I am working out before going live. A secure contact form is one issue, a good gallery system is the next, and I am also looking a Google cart feature for the site, of course, THAT needs to be secure! LOL!
