Hi Stiofan,
I have GD Framework + paid plugins on a site but I’m using the free plugin on another site and I’m having problems adding places (see above).
Thanks

In reply to: Tags not displaying on post pagesI have Customizer https://www.ads-software.com/themes/customizr/ and Customizr Pro installed.
It works!
Thanks a lot.
It is at https://pastebin.com/pf9Nr2XU

I ran each SQL query by selecting the database, clicking the SQL tab, pasting the above, clicking GO and I got:
I just looked at my stats and they still don’t match up. See https://imgur.com/sfuBtF3
It works at the library but not on my laptop.
On WordPress login page, it only shows Twitter and fb so I got worried. No one but myself should be using the WP login/admin page so it’s ok if G+ and LinkedIn are not displaying. But you can have a look if you think there’s a problem.
In WP admin, I check the setting and I have them all setup and working (fb is the only one I need to get working since I have api but not other details per your fb api instructions).
On the site, all 4 icons are displaying in a sidebar widget — at the library. But if you want to double-check on your end, please send me your email or website contact and I’ll give you login details.
Thanks

In reply to: Error Establishing a Database ConnectionWell, since I’m the only Customizr user with this problem, then the moderator can delete this thread. I wasted my entire weekend.
I’m looking for it. I was thinking that it’s in the database but I really don’t know the source. A web developer would know how to find it with a fine tooth comb. It doesn’t appear to be an image file which can have malware encoded — it’s a php file. https://tinypic.com/r/2nu2lom/8

In reply to: Error Establishing a Database ConnectionI’m warning people about nasty malware that’s been triggered whenever I visit my site with Customizr installed and you call me irresponsible? I agree that my site/server may not be cleaned up but Customizr theme is triggering it. It’s an iframe from another server that’s loading on my site.
Of course I downloaded it from the WP Repository via WP admin.
Checking the theme yourself is AS SIMPLE AS downloading Avast anti-virus free and checking it FOR YOURSELF.
My site isn’t the only one using Customizr theme that triggered the malware warning message on Avast anti-virus.
I see that you deleted my post in the Customizer theme support forum.

In reply to: Error Establishing a Database ConnectionIt was NOT the last thing I installed. As I stated, installed it 2 months ago. If you have Avast anti-virus, it will show that Customizr theme is triggering a malware message for a trojan named JS:IFrame-AC[Trj]
I spent a day and a half cleaning up my WordPress and it’s not done yet because I have to find a theme for the site. My first choice is Genesis Framework but they are premium themes. I purchased a premium 2012 child theme back in 2012 but there are good, free themes in WP Repository.

In reply to: Error Establishing a Database ConnectionYes, as mentioned above, I added WP 2012 calendar theme and I’m almost done adding plugins via WP admin.
Now, I just discovered that [moderated] theme contained the virus. I intentionally added plugins first because the ones I use are quite popular and regularly updated. The last thing I did was install the theme [moderated] which I was using and immediately, Avast anti-virus pinged me showing it had the trojan.
Can you believe that [moderated] theme contained the trojan? Always trust your instincts. The first thing I did when I learned about this virus was to activate Twenty Twelve theme and delete [moderated]. Themes are a major source of malware and knowing how that[moderated] developer coded the theme, I naturally felt it could be the source. I had [moderated] for over 2 months now but to be safe I deleted everything and reuploaded. It’s a damn shame that I spent so much time cleaning everything up only to get confirmation that the 1st suspect was the right one. [moderated] is a beautiful theme but a virus-carrier theme.
I had installed 2 other paid/premium plugins within the last 3 weeks so I avoided reinstalling them. However, I can reinstall them since I know that [moderated] theme was spreading the virus. I’ll be contacting the developer asap.
I looked at the demo and I’m surprised that Youtube and RSS are not included in the sharing services. Will you add these major ones?
Hi,
Did you ever add the floating option to this plugin? I’d prefer use yours over all other social sharing. One regularly updated one I’m using is Ultimate Social Media Icons because your description doesn’t state whether your plugin has the floating option.

In reply to: Error Establishing a Database ConnectionSome things I learned about fixing hack attacks:
1. Use a good anti-virus such as Avast — others like Kaspersky Pro, AVG free, ZoneAlarm free (which is crap) didn’t find that virus, which is at least a 3 years old, https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/virus-warning-jsiframe-actrj-on-my-site?replies=3.
2. Use only WP plugins that are REGULARLY updated. The best ones are but I use a couple that are not recently updated. Now I have to leave them alone.
Tip: Install plugins via WP admin one-by-one and check your site (front end) after each install to see if you get anti-virus message.
Even though I have Bruteprotect, Wordfence (checks themes and plugins against the Repository for changes), old plugins can be hacked due to vulnerabilities (that hackers exploit).

In reply to: Error Establishing a Database ConnectionThe MySQL problem is fixed — I had too many characters in the username password. And the username is linked to the database.
Now, I’m getting the white screen of death so I’m reading https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/white-screen-of-death-7 a
FYI: Since manually reuploading WP, only WP default themes and plugins are in cPanel.
Edit: The white screen of death problem solved.
Knowing that I was going to reupload, I used WP Twenty Twelve theme as the default and it was not in the /themes/ folder — 2013, 2014, and 2015 were there. Added 2012 and Viola! I can login to WP admin.

Knowing that I was going to delete WP files, I saved a copy of my wp-config.php and .htaccess (unnecessary). I had changed MySQL and WP admin passwords before deleting WP files and after reuploading WP I changed the passwords again. Hence, I have new passwords for both.
