In reply to: Gallery with mouse over effectI mean to say I want to generate a Thumbnail gallery with a nice mouse over effect that on clicking will link to the relevant page – with the nice overlay box at the bottom and the link icon on hover.

In reply to: Help needed deleting Pharma hack from databaseThanks for all your assistance. I know that you are only trying to help.
I have de-virused quite a few sites in my time, but none that infected the DB!
In this instance as it is only a small site (and not even my own, I’m helping a friend) I will strip-out all the text content and re-build it on an entirely new install.
I will also install for her some essential WP Security protocols, including regular back-ups.

In reply to: Help needed deleting Pharma hack from databaseOk, maybe I’m looking for a solution on the wrong forum!
Really with the canned responses!!!
I was hoping for some phpmysql ideas, since the hack is almost definitely being triggered at the database side of things.
Clearly I haven’t:
done everything to clear out the classic Pharma hack
I have repeatedly asked for assistance on HOW to do it.
I will strip out the content from my hacked file – using the brief window I get before the virus reinstalls and build it from scratch.

In reply to: Help needed deleting Pharma hack from databaseJames,
I believe that I have this hack.
Everything in the WP root folder has been replaced. Passwords have been changed. I have done everything that one would usually do, but the hack just comes back, so having read a lot of forum posts, I have concluded rightly or wrongly that the hack must be hiding in my database and reinstalling itself when I reinstall WP.
I have searched for these option names, but none of them come up:
wp-options -> class_generic_support
wp-options -> widget_generic_support
wp-options -> wp_check_hash
wp-options -> rss_7988287cd8f4f531c6b94fbdbc4e1caf
wp-options -> rss_d77ee8bfba87fa91cd91469a5ba5abea
wp-options -> rss_552afe0001e673901a9f2caebdd3141dHowever there are very many of files like this:
“displayed_gallery_rendering_cc5c2d697677a72d9420d351ce305297” or similar.
And because my original hack came-in via an infected NextGen plugin, I am assuming that these “options” are causing my problem.
Any help?

In reply to: Help needed deleting Pharma hack from databaseI’m sorry, but obviously I wasn’t clear. I deleted everything in my root folder and started again from scratch, however no matter how many times I did this, the malicious files kept reappearing, so I have deduced that the virus is in my DB.
I have followed all other protocols – passwords changed etc, but I still have the problem of deleting the nasty little buggers hiding amongst my WP_Options files.
My question is, how do I find rogue files in my wp_options table using phpmysql?
Another question would be: what is the worst case scenario if I merrily delete what looks malicious and in doing so delete some authentic files?

In reply to: I lost all my css styling!!!I can’t remember if I tried emptying my cache to resolve it, but several people checked the site when it was broken and it always looked the same to them.
You do know that I fixed it right? I was simply looking for an explanation as to why it might have happened.

In reply to: I lost all my css styling!!!Andrew,
The pages served-up left justified text only – no images, no colour, simply black text on a white background. Dashboard looked OK though!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I lost all my css styling!!!Purely as an aside, who knew that 666 the number of the beast allows reading and writing, but no executions. Seems weird! The real number of the beast is 111 – no reading, no writing, just executions. 666 is in fact the number of the Librarian!

In reply to: An idea for something useful…Morning MacManx – I’m assuming an Apple user from Manchester…
Format painter is one of the few useful features of Microsoft Office, select text, click on format painter and it loads the text style onto the cursor – after which you can go through the document applying that style onto whatever words/paragraphs you want with a double/triple click.
Wow, thanks KC.
I have done this now.
What I don’t understand is how the malware was written to my root folder – but that is probably due to my wp ignorance. As this site is pretty static, could it help to change the permissions on the wp-content folder to read only. I can easily change permissions once a month when I need to make posts, updates etc…&*^%ng spammers!
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: local wordpress installation on 84" plasmaThank you both – this answers my questions.
Gabe, Images are going to be interesting to manage, but I’ll take a suck it and see approach. I am very familiar with photoshop so I will experiment on size vs resolution.
