FELIXjk007

now its asking me to repeatedly install wordpress using the ‘wonderful five minute installation’?

awesome stuff, wordpress, way to go…

oh, and deleting the comments…very big of you

It isn’t just this plug in……its ANY plug in that hasn’t updated in the last five days

why don’t you have a system in place that advises coders and theme builders of an impending update and allows them ample time to construct the update before wreaking your standard brand of monthly mayhem and destruction on everyone who doesn’t have a damned degree in programming or coding

For God’s sake, WP, this is getting real old real fast.

[Personal insult redacted]

LOL thats me told! ??

thanks Owain, I’ll get across there. Thanks for letting me know.

I uninstallled for the time being because of the size of the error code but as soon as we have it sorted out I want to reinstall asap

best

Jamie

Hi Cuvelier,

any idea why the 3.2.4 update is running into ‘failed to open stream’ issues?

this is the full error report, but am having zero clue as to a fix?

Warning: require_once(/hermes/bosnaweb02a/b693/ipg.gamesmediaprocouk/wp-content/plugins/classes/class-plugin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosnaweb02a/b693/ipg.gamesmediaprocouk/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress.php on line 45 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/hermes/bosnaweb02a/b693/ipg.gamesmediaprocouk/wp-content/plugins/classes/class-plugin.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.3.13/lib/php’) in /hermes/bosnaweb02a/b693/ipg.gamesmediaprocouk/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress.php on line 45

aaaaah!!
bope, got it! all sorted. I remember now, we had this same ‘security’ issue when the new wordpress update happened last year around the same time. it is because of ‘unsupported theme’

thank you SO much Yogi. you can bin this thread now. I’ll get cracking with a new temporary theme until I can get a wed designer onto the issue

thanks so much

have a great night

Jamie

okay Yogi, theme disabled…..now what do I do? Should I just rebuild with a different theme? I don’t want to re-install and I don’t want to use the provider of the theme again if they have issues with WP

thanks Yogi.

will change the theme altogether now I think as my webhost is now saying there is a problem from wordpress flagging the IP?

why would that be, the security issue was not a hack and was an out of date plug in…and wordpress didn’t identify we did….and then removed it.

can you let me know what, why and when please Yogi? thanks

by the way, different topic, same related, after replacing the plug in I now get this…?

Notice: Undefined index: page in /hermes/bosnaweb02a/b693/ipg.gamesmediaprocouk/wp-content/themes/GameBlack/functions.php on line 269

as you can imagine….I have no idea ??

hi guys, thanks ever so much for all the great advice. I am not the most clued up when i comes to code and the technical side of things but I can always count on the WP community to come to my resue.

Apparently they got in through YouTube plug in.

The plug in has been removed and replaced.

thanks to everyone at WP. You guys are the very best!

by the way, this has happened regular as clockwork between March 17th and April 17th every year since 2013

( auto-renewal is for April 26th ?? lol coinky-dink?? )

those files ( and every other theme ) have been deleted. but I still do not see how the files could have got into the website?

if someone can guess the password then fair play, they have got some amazing brain on them to get past a special char, alpha numeric, upper and lower case of 32 digits

but from my end, ( and this being the ONLY computer that has database access ) I don’t understand how they got in without hacking this computer, which they didn’t?

that is my main issue.

iPage seem reluctant to indicate how they found out, how they identified the hacked files but failed to delete them and instead opted to shut us down and then say ￡” but if you pay us we will do it for you “

the files are fixed now ( through our own efforts not iPage’s ) and we will be relocating the website to a new host ( 1&1 or Blue Host, probably? Arvixe have a poor uptime ratio of only 76% ) . But I would still LOVE to know how ‘they’ did it

thanks Jan. the only thing iPage sent me was details of the files to be pulled, not them actual hack/code

these are the offending files, apparently?

Jamie

lol

so there is NO fix

well done, WP, a genius move to make your blogging platform less user-friendly in a time when you are being bombarded by competitors making more and more easy to operate self-publishing websites.

way to go!!

whats next? an update on how to clip your toenails with a sawn-off shotgun?

STATUS UPDATE:

copy/paste seems to be the offender? have no idea why…?

when CP’ing anything, but in particular it seems to centre around the CP’ing of hyperlinks, then the issue rears its ugly head

suggestions on a postcard ( bit of calamity crisis humour for all you UK Blue Peter children out there ??

@esmi

don’t worry about it

I forgot what the forums are like for a moment there.

won’t happen again
