    I have recently upgraded to WordPress 3.3.1 which has resulted in the home page going blank. To rectify this I have activated a backup of the theme files and the site is now operating as normal.
    There are however a few small issues though that I’d like to rectify as outlined below.

    Site: https://www.acronautic.com
    Theme: Parallelus Unite 2.0.2
    OS: Windows 7

    Home Page / Welcome page
    – There should be a 465 x 60 banner ad in the position of the search box in top right corner. PHP code for ad
    <?php if(function_exists(‘oiopub_banner_zone’)) oiopub_banner_zone(1, ‘center’); ?>

    – The search box should be placed at the base of the page, beneath the ‘contact us’ link in the centre column of the black links menu.

    – The images for featured ‘sticky’ posts are being called from the wrong place, they should be ‘medium images’ as uploaded from the post editor

    It would be most appreciated if anybody has any suggestions how to rectify this ??

    I’ve no idea, really, but since nobody else seems to be responding…

    Have you checked if the function oiopub_banner_zone() exists? If it does, does it call any other functions that, perhaps, don’t exist in the new version of WP?

    The search box thing sounds as though it’s just a configuration thing from Dashboard –> Appearance –> Widgets, assuming this theme works in the normal way.

    Which images are being called from the wrong place? All of them? The size of the featured images is being specified as 78 X 148 both in the height and width attributes of the img tag and also in the src attribute, which is a call to a PHP page. Are your media settings right?

    HTH (some of it, anyway)

    Thanks for your feedback esmi and perdur..

    For future readers…
    To resolve this I was able to assign a PHP widgets to the section of the site i was trying to rectify. This was done through the admin panel -> Appearance -> Widgets
    I retrieved the code for the banner ad from the OIO Publisher plugin and the search function was a default widget that I simply dragged in to the ‘middle footer’ menu bar on the right hand side of the widget screen.

    To scan and remove the Malware I used the Sururi software which defected and cleaned the site within 3 hours. immediately after this I received an email from google saying the site was clean.

    Thankyou, this issue (to me anyway) appeared difficult to fix at first and was actually very easy and fast thanks to the help of this forums users..
