A virus

This BS redirect problem with GDPLAYER got me less than a week after I installed it. THEY didn’t bother to mention the problem and it cost me $300 to get it removed. REALLY PISSED at WordPress allowing this known issue to continue.

Since no one replied to the question from sakibjaber above asking for an option to access Google Drive do I gather there isn’t one??

Question to mikeflight

You mentioned that you “removed” the problem. Did you manage to remove the redirect effect or simply removed the plugin? If you fixed the redirect, could you share how?

Thanks

In the future, please email [email protected] with problems like this. We have reviewed the code and determined the root of the issue. We will address this with the developer directly.

ondemandretirement: I perhaps mis-spoke. My web server people tried many restores going back a long time without success and gave me a $300 option for a service that tracks down code problems that cause problems like this. THEY couldn’t/didn’t find anything they could fix so the “solution” was just to remove the damned plugin—-move ALL of my video to an Amazon S3 account….and re-link/re-design the web site to use S3 instead of Google Drive since there appears to be NO WAY for a WordPress site to retrieve video from Google Drive. I find myself constantly amazed at how large organizations and large platforms, such as WordPress, can’t control their own systems. WordPress for instance gives us links to plugins to perform different functions on their platform…..but they do so without apparently bothering to test the damned things. With such a broad base…I thought they could be trusted…I was wrong. With that understanding….the suggestion above me that we not talk to each other to share these problems but email WordPress, who allowed this to happen in the first place, is just plain stupid. If you are the victim of fraud or a scam like this one you don’t ask the people that allowed it to fix it…hell….they’re making money from it….you warn others so they can make informed decisions to protect themselves.
