In reply to: Windows users getting a nasty surprise at my blogHi Photon-X,
As you will tell from the thread, I was a little frustrated that a day passed without attention from Sucuri, but that appears to have been a blip.
They cleaned my sites. I got hacked again. They looked into it further, cleaned them again and gave me advice on how to prevent reoccurrence. I took the advice, and so far so good.
All in all, I recommend Sucuri.

In reply to: All images have disappeared even though the paths still workThanks Pankaj. I’ve had someone email me to tell me its a javascript problem, and I have a thread going at the theme creator’s website that’s concluding similarly. Pursuing that for the mo.
Will be back here to update.

In reply to: All images have disappeared even though the paths still workIt seems the image styling is obeying this javascript:
.js_active .slideshow_container img {
visibility: hidden;
}Where this js came from in recent days I don’t know. Nor how to fix it.

In reply to: changing site nameAre you confusing Site Title for URL?
Site Title can have apostrophes. URLs cannot.
Or perhaps you’re getting & #039; (without the space) instead of the apostrophe. In which case:

In reply to: iPage deleted my wordpress and I lost my contentHi Codocorg,
Sorry to hear of your woes. It sounds like your site may have been hacked. The hacker may have been responsible for the phishing complaint, and the hack disabled your site by deleting one or more critical WordPress files.
You should be able to get the site back by reinstating these files (assuming any malware is removed of course). In the absence of any facility to clean the site of malware (I recommend sucuri.net), the easiest thing to do is reinstall WordPress and your theme, as your host advised.
The data should still be in the database (the data is separate from the WordPress instance), which you can look at by using phpmyadmin on your server (available from cpanel if your host has cpanel installed).
It’s then a case of editing your config.php file so the new installation points to the original data. You can find out more about that process here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressIn answer to your question about backups – if you didn’t make any and your host doesn’t do this by default (most do not, and from their advice it seems yours doesn’t), then you have no backup.
It seems then that you can have a clean WordPress (you’ve reinstalled), and access to your data (the database is still available), but your theme is lost. I have no answer to that other than to download a fresh copy of the theme and re-do the custom edits you made to the last one.

In reply to: Urgent posts page problemHi. When referring to the way your site is working / behaving / looking, it’s always a good idea to post the URL so we can better get to grips with the problem.

In reply to: All images have disappeared even though the paths still workThinking it may be a js conflict, I disabled by plugins, but to no avail. So reactivated them…
Advanced iframe
Bulletproof security
Duplicate widget
JSL3 Facebook Wall Feed
PC Robots.txt
Really Simple BreadcrumbIs there anything else that could cause a js conflict?

In reply to: How To Embed Google Maps (iFrame)Oh yes sorry, you did say Google Maps, not YouTube. Doh!
This thread identified a plugin, WordTwit, as a culprit.

In reply to: How To Embed Google Maps (iFrame)I should add that this feature became available in WordPress 2.9, so you should make sure you’re up to date.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How To Embed Google Maps (iFrame)Go to Settings > Media.
Under Embeds select “When possible, embed the media content from a URL directly onto the page. For example: links to Flickr and YouTube.”
Save your settings.
Now just insert the URL (eg, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymzQRIvx8Kg) into the visual editor for a post or page.

In reply to: Link to a page in same postIn the page / post editor in ‘visual’ mode (tab top right of the editor), select the text or image you wish to act as a hyperlink, and then click the “insert / edit link” button in the editor toolbar.
You can enter the destination link, but you’ll probably want the second option which is to search for existing content and select what you want.
Done.
