I used the code above and it worked like a charm. However if someone comes across this thread and isn’t comfortable with child themes or altering their code, you can install the plugin called “fourteen Extended” by Zulfikar Nore. one of the many options it adds in the customize window (under Featured Slider Options) is to have the slider auto-advance. Works really well too!

You can also install the really cool plugin called “fourteen Extended” by Zulfikar Nore. one of the options in the customize window (under Featured Slider Options) is to have the slider auto-advance. Works like a charm!

I’d love to know how to do this too!

If you’re ready to give up on this problem (one which I was also having) I just turned off the Jetpack Mosaic galleries and installed “Justified Image Grid” by Firsh (bought it from code canyon). It has a super easy option to simply “turn wordpress galleries into mosaic galleries”. Everything worked perfectly after that.

Not sure how that affects loading time and all that if you’re using the Photon option to boost load speeds but I personally found that with or without photon the wp galleries didn’t work.

Though there’s still always that annoying nagging thing that the bug that caused the original problem is still out there…. good luck!

Thanks! This worked great for me as well!

Just a quick secondary option if someone is looking for how to do this but doesn’t really know code that well. There is a cool free plugin called Fourteen Extended that adds extended options to the 2014 theme’s Customize panel in the dashboard.

One of the many options is to ‘turn on’ summary/excerpts for blog posts. Works great and there are tons of other options. I use it just because it saves so much time vs. going in and changing the code myself.

Hope that helps someone!

Anyone out there use or know of a specific plugin that allows for this to happen in the media uploader?
Thanks!

Has anyone tried doing something like this before? Do you know of any plugins that might facilitate this or perhaps come across a blog post or article. I could really, really use some help locating a starting point for making this happen.
Thanks!

Glad to hear it! I think the plugin has worked like it’s supposed to only once or twice. I almost always to it this way. It’s a little more work but it works great!

Thanks Esmi
I assumed that this fix would probably need a plugin, as I mentioned. But I haven’t been able to find any specific information on plugins or settings that do either of the things I’m looking for.

Anyone have suggestions for specific plugins that might be able to do what I’m trying to do?
Thanks!

curious if you ever figured out a good way to do this?

I think you can use Faster Image Insert plugin to select several images and drag them to a new location. Not quite what you’re looking for but might be faster.

This Worked For Me:
I had this problem as well and tried everything I could find here on the forums with no luck. Then I came across this article and it fixed it for me! WHEW! (it was for a client site hosted on GoDaddy and I was freaking out that it wasn’t working!): https://www.techmesto.com/solving-wordpress-mysql-gone-error

NOTE:
When I opened the wp-db.php file to make the suggested addition the directions in the article say it can be found around line 1057. I couldn’t find it near there so I did a search on the page for “db_connect_fail” and it took me to the right spot (which in my editor’s case was something like line 1175).

Hope this helps, Cheers!

I Think some one is screwing with me….
So I’m looking at the code in firebug and when I refreshed the page over in my safari browser suddenly the website worked fine and I couldn’t see the malicious code in the inspector anymore.

I checked this with Chrome. (code seems to have disappeared)
And in Firefox with firebug (same thing, malicious code is suddenly gone.)

I rescanned the site with Sucuri and all those red warning boxes turned green and it says the site is clean…. suddenly, magically.

Ever heard of something like that happening before? Maybe the host caught it and took care of it. Is that a thing that happens?

Good grief. I’m glad my husband was looking over my shoulder when that happened, or I’d think I’m going completely mad.

I’ll switch to a new more updated theme later this week for them. The one being used now is really old and I’m sure full of holes and backdoors.

I know, I’ve been through it once before but I’m too short on time over the next day or two to do a full-on proper cleaning which is why I’m just trying to find the code so I can remove it as a band-aid til I have a chance to do it properly the moment I get a chance.

I believe the server is Linux.

It’s not really my site, I’m just helping friends who don’t know anything about websites.

I’ll work my way through all that stuff as I have the time but right now (and in for the next 24 hours, til I have a moment to go through all the resources you listed) I need to find where that code is at so I can get the website functioning.

About 3/4 of the time using Safari or Chrome, you can’t see the problem but using Firefox and mobile devices it’s really bad and you can easily see the offending code using Firebug.
