In reply to: [Plugin: Simple Tags] Importing tags from Simple Taggingregarding 1), amaury (plug designer) gave me this info but not sure what he meant and hate to bug him… he says “edit your php.ini file and increase memory and timeout during the importation “
php.ini ? sorry brain-dead after today…
i just upgraded to v2.5 after my 2.1.1 was infiltrated. while preparing for the changes/upgrade i did create a htaccess configure for the wp-admin directory as described in hardening wordpress. but fortifying the directory made this too difficult for humans who wish to access the site for comments.
if we are just trying to stop robots isn’t there code that goes into wp-admin that filters out characters like single quote, double quote, slash, back slash, semi colon, extended character like NULL, carry return, new line, etc. this setup makes it tough on sql injections without normal humans even knowing about the extra security.
also wish there was a way to make a new registration have to confirm via an email response. i get so many fake registrations.

In reply to: [Plugin: Simple Tags] Importing tags from Simple Taggingitem 2) is fixed. i reinstalled post.php and page.php and deleted the simple-tagging php code out. i tried to comment the code out but that did not work.
3) i did get most of my tags imported. those that imported i can see in the admin, i can add tags in a new post. there are no tags visible on the site however. i am going to start messing with a tag cloud in the new widget dashboard.

In reply to: Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]:wow, lucky i found you. a problem for days! here is what caused error to appear. i upgraded from v2.1.1 with a load of plugs/widgets using sidebar widgets. i deleted all the plugins prior to the upgrade because i was locked out of admin = this forced me into upgrading to 2.5 = no problems.
once 2.5 was up i added plugins “wp-gbcf” “sidebar widgets” “simple tagging” “simple tagging widget” well i could not see a lot of my widget_text content from v2.1.1 and deactivated “all plugs” = the aforementioned error.
now to figure out the new widget setup as my prior setup had a lot of text widgets including php variety. thanks again otto!

In reply to: Can’t get into admingarbage in garbage out =
bad info above. whenever i try domain.com/blog/wp-admin/severalfiles.php = i get the upgrade database, not a 404.
i also researched the upgrade database menu and now that i know what it means i will upgrade.
but there is a question on a codex instruction that is not clear to me. can this be explained a bit, said another way? =
” NOTE The wp-content folder requires special handling, as do the plugins and themes folders. You must copy over the contents of these folders, not the entire folder. Copying the entire folder overwrites all your customizations and added content. ”

In reply to: Can’t get into adminok,
i updated to v2.5.1 i can login but still can’t get into admin = same 404 message. i tried a variety of paths in the browser window such as
domain.com/blog/admin/severalfiles.php = 404
note: i removed all plugs and reinstalled two but can’t activate.
now i am trying to figure out how to show my v2.5.1 default theme to see if that works. can anyone tell me how to have the default fire up.
oh, a new what looks like official wordpress page saying “database upgrade required” and a link saying “upgrade wordpress” i am a little afraid to hit the link at this point in time. any advice here?…

In reply to: Can’t get into adminhmmm,
i can’t get in to deactivate the plugins so i can upgrade. can i pull them off the server via my ftp client and place them on my desktop? then once i upgrade i should be able to get back to admin where i can reinstall the plugins.

In reply to: Can’t get into adminwhile looking at the upgrade instructions it says to delete admin, etc. would a reinstall/upgrade be the thing to do…
i have already backed up db and files as of yesterday.

In reply to: Weird and Dangerous : ro8kfbsmag.txtmy site has been down two weeks in an effort to get rid of the hack. i’ve found it in several place. still don’t know how to find it in the plugins as stated above. my uploads are cleaned out. i have not yet successfully converted my pages from posts yet.
i wish to upgrade from 2.1.1 to 2.5. any advice? should i upgrade now and continue to look for the hack and hopefully change the page/posts after the upgrade?
my site is mature with many plugs/widgets. should i throw the plugs out and upgrade the plugs immediately following the upgrade?
Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Weird and Dangerous : ro8kfbsmag.txtdavid holder towards the beginning of this thread mentions changing the corrupt code in the uploads and plugins back to the default. i have changed the uploads. where/how does one find/change the path of the plugins? what is the plugins default path?

In reply to: Weird and Dangerous : ro8kfbsmag.txtdude works for me. you are positively correct. i have spent the whole day cleaning house going back all the way to 10/07! fun and games. it helps knowing what the problem is, thank you very much. also, i just placed a server password on wp-admin if that is a step in the right direction.
i found my file (maybe there are more) via sql query =
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘active_plugins’;
If one exists, run the following query = UPDATE wp_options SET option_value=”” where option_name=”active_plugins”;

In reply to: Cannot ‘Save’ or ‘Publish’ anymorekzak = the htaccess tutes did the trick, thank you!
here is where i am now. i have my sql open > wp-options > active plugins > and up pops the /../… code. can you tell me in layman’s terms what to do next? deactivate plugin? delete it? then reinstall?
someone also mentioned a default path for plugins. where is that? i could not find it in dashboard > options
