Thought it was worth posting… I have posted this on another thread too but I found the problem resided in a specific theme of mine within a ‘text’ sidebar widget they had added. I deleted the widget they’d added and it has brought my site back up rather than just their ‘Hacked by walangkaji – The Crows Crew’ on a white background. Hopefully this will help others and hopefully we can find a way to prevent this happening again.

Barneyltd – I am also on kNet hosting… That seems quite coincidental.

Just found they had used a widget on the sidebar (go to themes > Widgets) and they have created one called ‘text’ in the sidebar widget area and there was some code in it. Click the ‘text’ widget and select the small delete button at the bottom of the window that pops up and that will resolve for you.

Just a note in case it helps anyone else.. I changed my theme and the hacked page disappears. It obviously doesn’t fix the hack as you can’t use the specific theme however this is a work around to get your blog up and running again until the security hole can be fixed. I can’t see anything obvious within the theme files and also the date modified on all files in the hacked theme doesn’t show as a recent date. Just thought this information may be of interest to you and others..

I noticed mine has also. They’ve not altered anything in my .htaccess file and I can’t find a index1.html file. I will keep searching though.

I solved the problem by placing the get sidebar code in the Main Index Template (index.php file) at the very top of the file. See below:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<div id="content"><!--container start-->

	<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post();?

Aidan L is the name that I use when commenting. It is strange because it is happening on sites which I normally comment on and I never change my comment details.

Thanks for the reply.

None at all, that is why I am becoming very confused.

Thanks for the reply.

I have managed to resolve this myself with the code below –

<li class="widget">
<h2>Blogroll</h2>
 <ul>
<?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', '', FALSE, 'id', FALSE,
FALSE, -1, TRUE, TRUE); ?>
</ul>
</li>

Thanks for that Handy ?? .

I have actually just realised I am using 2.0.4…. Therefore I will have to go and delete everything. O the joys. I can imagine something will go drastically wrong.

Ok thanks :-).

Hi, I was actually looking for something similar for some photos I plan to put on my site in the near future. I found some links but thought that I would check this forum first in case there were any better solutions, whilst doing that I happened to stumble across your post. I know it’s rather old but I may as well pop some links in that I have found. I found one to actually go into your WordPress blog (I know you weren’t particularly interested in one like that but still) https://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/fgallery/ . Also, I am not sure how it works but I have seen a fair few people use – https://www.flickr.com/ , it seems decently popular although I have never used it myself…
Just to add when I was looking through this forum the majority of galleries appear to be widgets… Anyway hope this has perhaps helped if you still haven’t got a solution.

Thanks ??

Aidan

Im sorry I didnt understand you Moshu…..
The reason I didnt catch on is because I just wanted all the categories displaying regardless, but I that one you have suggested will be sufficient.

Thank you Nitallica for your in depth and very helpful response. I am actually ok with general web design i.e. CSS.
I shall try the coding now, hopefully it will work. ??

Thanks again

Aidan
