I have no idea who your hosting company is. Contact them… wordpress support won’t help you.

Was it activated? Why don’t you just turn off comments?

Did you change all of the passwords after the restore? If your employee had access on April 5th, he/she will have access after the restore.

Use the Askimet plugin.

Sorry I missed the part where you said hard coding doesn’t help. So you’re saying that even though you’re typing the code correctly, wordpress is mangling your code? It looks like it’s trying to escape the quotes. Do you have any filters being applied to the $content var?

Try this:

1.) open up /wp-content/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-plugin/inc/config.php
2.) Navigate to line 63
3.) change this:

if(preg_match("/login/i",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) > 0){
                    return false;
                }

to this:

if(!preg_match("/login/i",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) > 0){
                    return false;
                }

basically just put a ! in front of preg_match.
4.) Login like normal and de activate the plugin.

The actual code that’s being put onto the page is the following:

<h1 style="\"text-align:" center;\">H1 title test aligned center<br> (but reverts to left align in WP 3.9)</h1>

it should be:
<h1 style="text-align: center;">H1 title test aligned center<br> (but reverts to left align in WP 3.9)</h1>

That’s why it isn’t working. I can’t say for sure what the reason for that is. If you’re using the visual editor, a temporary workaround until you can figure it out would be to go to the text editor and fix the code manually. Did this retroactively hurt the other posts as well?

I then went to phpMyAdmin to edit the "active_plugins" field. Still, no luck.

Can you be more specific? Did you disable the plugin in your database? Did you get an error? The plugin list should be serialized php if I remember correctly. Keep that in mind as you are editing. You can’t just remove the reference to the php file or you could screw things up.

Why don’t you remove the folders of the plugins in question from the wp-content/plugins directory.

Link?

Actually it looks like the problem is with php that the plugin is evaluating. You need to debug your own php code.

The plugin insert_php isn’t compatible with 3.9 it looks like. Disable the plugin and wait for a fix. Or dig into the code and try to debug it yourself.

Do you normally have images hosted on your site. It seems to be a problem with the image. I can’t even access the image when I copy and paste the URL to the image into my browser. I edited the image link with firebug and put an image hosted on a different server on there and it worked.

The URL that you are telling the browser is an image, is actually returning HTML code. That is why your images are broken. Is wordpress 301 redirecting all of your images to posts?

Here is the header info being sent back from the server:

As you can see at the very top, the URL is being redirected.

Can you give us a link? What is the code you are trying to use? It should look like this:

<a href="https://website-you-are-linking-to.com"><img src="url-of-image" /></a>

I don’t know if you’re still trying to get this working, but, I figured it out. If you go into wp-content/plugins/iq-testimonials and edit iq-testimonials.php you will see this on line 286:

if ((!empty($name)) && (!empty($location))) {$location = ', <span class="iq-testimonial-location">'.$location.'</span>';}

change that line to this:

if ((!empty($name)) && (!empty($location))) {$location = ' <span class="iq-testimonial-location">'.$location.'</span>';}

note the lack of a comma before the span. Keep in mind that if you ever update this plugin, the comma will return and you will have to do it again (unless the author of the plugin takes this into account and wraps it in a conditional.
