Speed of Sound

….sorry, one more thing.

I also noticed that malicious code had been added via the ‘Widgets’ section of my sites, so I checked / removed that between steps 3 and 4.

Hi all,

I’ve been struggling with this same issue on 20 sites (within the same hosting space)?for weeks, but am confident I’ve now fixed the issue for the long term.?I’ve followed?neolegen’s advice and haven’t had an attack since.?

This is what I did on all the affected websites (in this order):

1) Took a backup of the site using the free Updraft plugin
2) Updated all out-of-date plugins and themes
3) Removed any ‘malicious’ admin users?via MySQL
4) Installed the Wordfence plugin (free version)
5) Ran a Wordfence?scan of the site
6) Completely Replaced the wp-includes folder with a fresh version (via SFTP), as that was very often the most affected
7) Cleaned / replaced all other files flagged in the Wordfence scan
8) Ran a follow up Wordfence?scan to check the site was now clean (repeated step 6 if not)
9) Changed the site’s Database password via MySQL
10) Changed the site’s WP-Config.php file in line with the above password change and changed the ‘salt’ secret key
11) Changed all of the site’s Administrator passwords

Once done across all of my sites I then completed the process with the following actions:

12) Changed my SFTP password
13) Changed my Hosting account’s Password

I did this as quickly as possible across one day, to ensure there were no repeat attacks during the process and have repeatedly checked for new Malicious users being added since (none so far!)

Good luck all. It takes a while, but it’s well worth it in the end.

Same problem here. The wpcf7-spinner icon appears twice (side be side) on single click form submission and then the email is received twice.

Oh, ok. Thank you Esmi, sorry about that.

Hey sezom,

After lots of playing around I managed it by adding a #container div straight after the body tag and then giving it the following css

#container {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0px;
    top: 0px;
    right: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    background: url('https://vinylsoundfiles.co.uk/autonomy/wp-content/themes/garnish/images/header-pattern-light.png') repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
    height: 100% !important;
overflow: auto;
}

p.s I would like the overlay to appear like it does here: https://www.renklibeyaz.com/thiswayhtml/index_light.html

Anyone? Pleeeeeeease?

Resolved.

Right, I got it working. I didn’t need to add a searchform.php in the end. I just changed:

<form method="get" action="<?php echo get_option('HOME'); ?>/">

in my header.php to

<form method="get" action="https://www.a-bike.co.uk">

Thanks for taking a look anyway Zoe, I do appreciate it, as normally I don’t hear anything back on here. ??

Cheers,

Joe

There were already Index.php and .htaccess files in the root folder, so I replaced them with copies of the ones from within the subdirectory.

I’ll take a look at adding a searchform.php now.

Thanks.

Lucky I kept a copy of the files I had to replace eh? ??

There doesn’t seem to be a searchform.php but there is a search.php. Where would you suggest to hardcode the URL and what code would I use?

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying Search Results pages.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Estore
 * @since Estore 1.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php
$sidebar_position= get_option('templatesquare_sidebar_position') ;
?>

	<div id="main_content">

	<?php if($sidebar_position=='sideleft'){ ?>
			<div id="sidebar-left">
				<div class="box_sidebar">
			<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
				</div><!-- end box_sidebar -->
			</div><!-- end sidebar -->
	<?php } ?>

			<div id="content">

<h1 class="pagetitle"><?php printf( __( 'Search Results for: %s', 'templatesquare' ), '<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?></h1>

		<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
			yoast_breadcrumb('<div id="breadcrumbs">','</div>');
		} ?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
				<?php
				/* Run the loop for the search to output the results.
				 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
				 * called loop-search.php and that will be used instead.
				 */
				 get_template_part( 'loop', 'search' );
				?>
<?php else : ?>
				<div id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
					<h2 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'templatesquare' ); ?></h2>
					<div class="entry-content">
						<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.', 'templatesquare' ); ?></p>
						<?php get_search_form(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</div><!-- #post-0 -->
<?php endif; ?>
			</div><!-- end content -->

	<?php if($sidebar_position!=''){?>
			<div id="sidebar-right">
				<div class="box_sidebar">
				<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
				</div><!-- end box_sidebar -->
			</div><!-- end sidebar -->
    <?php }?>

	</div><!-- end main_content -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I did yes, up until step 7 which says to log in, which I now can’t do as the site returns an error.

It was literally just the search bar that wasn’t working, so I really hope I haven’t just taken 10 steps back trying to fix it!

I just copied those files over mentioned in stage 4 and now the site returns the following error when you try to access it:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /homepages/4/d250881445/htdocs/abikenew/wp-includes/option.php on line 225
