Resolved using FTP 101 – reuploaded options-general.php!

Thanks for the solution yerkin. EventCalendar wasn’t actually working since I upgraded anyway, so I’m dumping it. I’ve linked in to my Last.fm events as an adequate replacement.

Oh, I’ve worked it out now. For some reason the page you linked to does not document ‘before’, ‘after’ or ‘between’.

Excellent, thanks for the tip. It’s working now but I’d like to edit the style of the lists (line breaks between, rather than as a html list). Any idea how I do that?

So how do you repair the exploit? I’ve done what it says here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/30721 but that hasn’t helped. I’m also checking all my chmods, but how do I remove the existing exploit?

i gave up trying and resorted to MW Comments/Trackbacks, which does the job well:

https://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/wordpress/mw_comments_trackbacks.html

i’ve got wp sat in a ‘wordpress’ directory rather than at the root (for tidiness’ sake).

i want to upload through the interface but i don’t want to upload to blah.com/wordpress/wp-content/files because this url will be visible to visitors. instead i want to use blah.com/files for uploads.

how can i do this? i’ve tried a direct path and also ./ etc with no luck.

hmm, it was the one in comments.php. not sure how i missed that but thanks for pointing it out!

ah, i sorted it. the theme (‘connections’) came with the links outside sidebar.php for some reason. i removed it from the main template but page.php was of course a separate template. silly design for what is otherwise a great theme.

thanks for your suggestion again though moshu.

excellent, thanks for that… i just didn’t spot it!

i’ve developed an additional links problem during the day. my ‘links’ in the sidebar is repeating on every ‘page’. its fine when posts are involved, just not for wp pages. can you suggest any solution for this? url’s https://www.heymanchester.com/ (click one of the ‘features’ on the right for the problem pages).

thanks again.

excellent stuff bob… it worked first time! you probably saved me an hour of reading there.

update: i’ve managed to add ‘&cat=4’ to all urls of posts in this category. now i need the php for this:

if cat=’4′ get date and display as ‘day, date month year’

…and to know where to put it. within ‘the_content’ fucntion perhaps?

i’ve just done a similar tweak to wp_list_pages. near the bottom of template-functions-post.php there’s the following line:

$output .= $indent . '<li class="' . $css_class . '"><a href="' . get_page_link($page_id) . '" title="' . wp_specialchars($title) . '">' . $title . '</a>';

in your situation i think you just need to add a space and comma after the </a>. i hope that helps.
