In reply to: Changing Comment SettingsIf you want to change your theme files, open the comments.php file and look for something like this:
<p><input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”3″ />
<label for=”url”><small><?php _e(“Website”, ‘studiopress’); ?></small></label></p>Notice where the <p> starts and the </p> ends.
You can uncomment it out by doing the following:
<!– <p><input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”3″ />
<label for=”url”><small><?php _e(“Website”, ‘studiopress’); ?></small></label></p> –>This will make it so that box does not show on your form, but keeps the code there in case you ever want to use that feature.
I hope that helps.

I have emailed you some instructions for your theme to show your video on the home page, bypassing the excerpt.
Let me know if that helps.

The WP theme you are using strips out the code on the home page. Read this post that shows you what to do:

In reply to: Changing Comment SettingsI would suggest not trying to disable this. You want to know who is commenting on your website to help reduce comment spam. Try not to look at it as asking for too much information, but more of a security measure for your website. By disabling it, you are opening yourself to a world of hurt with comment spam. People understand that it’s required and really don’t have a problem entering it.

In reply to: How to fix a hacked blog entry?Attitune,
Install the antivirus plugin and do a manual scan on your theme files. It may be in your header.php file.
You can download it here:

You can also run a scan here on all your web pages:

Hope that helps.

In reply to: [Plugin: AntiVirus] Does it scan only the template files?I use AntiVirus as well on many WordPress sites and agree with you WebFadds.

In reply to: Header.php hacked. Need advice, have tried (seemingly) everythingI have many sites hosted on Godaddy and have had no problems. It seems that although you have installed WordPress and updated it, you have not taken the necessary measures in securing/hardening your site. Such as:
Uploading all files encrypted via FTPES on Godaddy (if you’re on Godaddy’s Northland server).
Removing or renaming your admin username to something hard to guess. And hardening your passwords for FTP, Database and all logins.
Protecting your logins , comments, database, wp-config.php, and files on your server. Plus, remove the road map for hackers so they can’t see everything you have.
There are many plugins that can help you do these things, and you can also add various code to your theme’s functions.php and through .htaccess. Without closing the vulnerabilities, you are open for hacker attempts.
