Forum: Hacks
In reply to: my site hacked, could use more help… ThanksJust checked back and saw the support links so I will try to see what happened and keep it from recurring.
Meanwhile, I logged in as admin, deleted the blog name and replaced it with the correct name. That solved my problem and I don’t know if there was any further intrusion or whether this was just thumb-your-nose prank.
I hope it was that, but I’m going to try to harden my site just for drill.
Good luck, Allison. I hope your troubles are just as small.Forum: Hacks
In reply to: my site hacked, could use more help… ThanksHi Allison,
I just went to my infrequently used blog and found the title had been changed to “Hacked By Badi Fuck Ghassen Jebari” .
Everything else seems to have been untouched. When I viewed the source I found that code had been inserted and php bloginfo(‘name’) came out as shown. I suppose that I need to find where that php info is stored and change it, but I’m not sure where that is.
Also, I have no idea if that is all that was done.
I have two other sites on the same hosting site and neither of them was touched. It seemed to be just the WordPress blog.
I hope someone will help us both out.
Good luckStephen

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.6 – Admin Login ProblemSame problem….. couldn’t login after 2.6 upgrade. Even having new password sent didn’t work. I tried your suggestions…clearing cookies, temp internet files, etc. ..no help. I tried changing passwords on MySql database…no help.
Someone suggested de-activating plugins, but didn’t say how so I used FTP to delete all the plugins. Then had a new password sent and it worked!!!
Once in, I quickly updated my users, etc and downloaded and installed the plugins I wanted.
To the other person who was asking ‘How do I deactivate plugins when I can’t get to the dashboard?’ There’s one answer.
Thanks again to all who made great sugestions. I couldn’t get there alone.
Great forum!
BTW FYI I upgraded using WordPress Automatic Upgrade with the ‘automatic’ option. In the past I have used the plugin, but only one step at a time.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Theme Suggestions: Double SidebarCheck out The Green Pelican
Made a file “leftsidebar.php” just like “sidebar.php” and added code to “template-functions-general.php” to create function “get_leftsidebar()”
I just cut and paste an existing function block and edit the necessary words like change “get_sidebar()” to “get_leftsidebar().
I hope this helps.

In reply to: What is the easiest way to host and install WordPress?If you are using Windows, the easiest way to install a server on your computer that I have found is Easy Web Server found here. It installs Apache, MySql, and sets up a localhost server in one step. It works well for me.

In reply to: What is the easiest way to host and install WordPress?Are you asking how to set up a localhost server on your computer or are you wanting to set up WordPress on a free web hosting site? There is a world of difference.

In reply to: CSS Float moved up inside loopForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: CSS Float moved up inside loopIf you mean like this, it’s done by creating another sidebar in CSS and floating it right. Then, the content must be adjusted by padding. e.g.
.content {padding: 0 20% 0 20%; }
then the right sidebar can be width 20% and it works pretty well.
I hope this will help.

I know the stylesheet exists and functions on the site. Why can’t W3C (jigsaw) find it?
Any help will be appreciated. I like to validate.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Stupid, straightforward question – changing fontForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Stupid, straightforward question – changing fontI’ve had a similar experience trying to change the font-family of the posts. I assumed that .storycontent would do the trick, but nothing I entered changed the font. I could change color, etc. but not the font. After much unnecessary troubleshooting I finally got around to checking the css for fonts and discovered the little line:
p, li, feedback {
font: 90%/175% Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
}That little p tag was driving the font declaration for the posts no matter what I declared in the <div> .storycontent .
Once I removed p from that line I had no further trouble declaring the font that I wanted in .storycontent. Voila! Cascading means cascading..
