It’s also possible that your hack is more involved than mine, even though we get the same warnings.

To prevent it from happening again, I’d recommend changing your passwords for FTP and your control panel.

A client of mine had this issue today.

The solution (for me) was simple…

An extra line of PHP code was added at the very top of his index.php file – the main one.

It started with:

<?php eval(base64_decode(

I removed the entire line of code…

From the <? to the ?>

And it fixed it.

You can also just re-upload your original index.php file, if you prefer.

Sweet! Thanks!

Thanks MichaelH!

Great info.

I found better delete revision yesterday.

I used it, but it would be nice to be able to keep one old revision for each post and delete revisions individually.

But, it certainly did it’s just of getting rid of 1100 old revisions.

–

And, thanks for pointing out the ‘Screen Options’ settings. I had no idea they were different for each page. (This might be a great option to have in the Writing settings area… since it’s a big deal/great feature for every one who uses wordpress; and it’s hidden by default.)

Thanks…

I figured it out.

Note: I’m not looking to control or edit them. I just want to know why I have 16 pages, and my post_ids are now into the 1000’s.

It’s because every time you hit the Publish button, and new POST/PAGE is added to the database, with a new ID.

ALL OF YOUR OLD REVISIONS are in the database… and, stangly, there’s not built-in way to access them.

If you make one change to a post with 1000 words – say, you change the spelling of a word – and entirely new record is saved in the database.

Your database can get HUGE, really quick.

So, millions of wordpress users have HUGE databases of archived content, and if they mess up their post, they think they’re screwed… well, I guess they are because there’s no built-in way to access those old revisions. (I’m sure there’s a plugin, but this should be built in… if you create a feature to archive content, you need to create a way to access that content.)

#1. There should be a built in way to access them.

#2. There should be a built in way to delete old junk.

Hi jon, No, I tried to use it for the main header-menu.

I tried it before I realized WP 3.1.3 had the exact functionality I wanted.

The only thing I’d like ot add would be Post pages – currently, it appears that only pages and categories can be added.

“Category Order” plugin ROCKS!

You change the order of your categories, and they are changed in both your normal “Categories” widget, and it your category menu (if you have one).

FYI… “My Category Order” worked on it’s own widget, but not on the regular one and, more importantly, not on my category menu at the top of my blog.

If I’m going to install a plugin, I don’t want to have to edit my WP code to get it to work… That’s WHY I’m installing a plugin. ??

EDIT…

Plugin is “My Category Order” found here – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/my-category-order/

Just FYI… I tested both doug’s <label> method and amoswright’s ID method.

doug’s works in FF (v2.0.0.12), but not in IE6 (v6.0.2900).

(IE6 adds a phantom </p> tag where the <br> used to be – making the problem worse.)

amoswright’s works in IE 6, but not in FF.

Both techniques together (with a little twist) yield success.

doug’s <label> method: (thanks doug)

put the label and input on consecutive lines, rather than the same line, like so:

<label>…</label>
<input … />

amoswright’s UPDATED ID method:(thanks amoswright)

#your_form_id p { display:none; }

NOTICE THE “P” INSTEAD OF THE “BR”.

Thanks again guys!

Just because the URL is not displayed to the user on the HTML page doesn’t mean they can’t click the subscribe button in FF and IE and still get access to your feed.

How do you TURN OFF the RSS function so that NO ONE can subscribe to your feed… because there IS NO FEED?

Thanks,
Dan

Any answer to this one???

Should be simple, but I can;t seem to find the answer either.
