Oh, that is a record of me searching for the word “authmycookie” on your website a few hours ago. I used the search bar on your site, just to see if anything would show up. As expected, nothing came up.

If that is the only thing you found, then I think you can leave this as-is for the moment. Hopefully your site won’t have any more malware issues.

Hi there. I don’t understand your question. Could you explain step by step what has happened, and what result you expected? The more information you can share, the better we’ll be able to help you.

Glad to hear the malware issue seems to be resolved for now.

As for the clicks, about the only other thing I can suggest is running a search for “authmycookie” through your server. This wouldn’t be a search in WordPress, but on the file system on your host.

If nothing shows up, then I think you could wait a while and observe. A click from your site to an external site on its own shouldn’t effect your website. Hopefully it’s just an innocent residue from something, but now harmless.

Hi there! First off, have you been able to fix the malware issue? One setting that is often involved with new admin accounts being generated is at wp-admin > Setting > General > Membership > Anyone can register. If that is on, and the New User Default Role under it is set to Administrator, that can be a problem.

As for authmycookie.com/rt4.php?r3=[different random strings of letters, numbers, and hyphens], like you, I couldn’t find a lot of information. Perhaps there’s a theme or plugin accessing that site periodically? Do you know if these clicks were there before the most recent issues with your site?

@oguruma GPL only relates to code. So what you are describing wouldn’t be prohibited by GPL.

However, there are other ethical considerations. Pro plugin creators need to be paid for their services including providing plugin updates, support, documentation, bug fixes etc. When someone signs up to a Pro plugin’s plan, they are supporting the people behind the plugin to continue providing their services. While the suggested “forked” repo may reduce the financial commitment on the user, it doesn’t support the creator, and would affect the services they are able to provide.

@caritatang Taking a closer look, I see your error is caused by the Blocksy Companion theme. The theme developers have announced they will be fixing this issue with an update soon. Please see this thread:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wordpress-6-7-update-and-translation-loading-for-the-blocksy-companion-domain/

Hi @koulko . Your error is being caused by the Astra theme. Other users have started a thread on the theme’s support forum. Please reach out to the theme developers below:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/function-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called-incorrectly-13/

Yes, theoretically, anyone may do that. Each of those plugins and themes should inherit GPL, though.

The error seems to indicate there may be a plugin or theme causing the issue. Please try the troubleshooting steps described here. In particular, please try these points:

• Deactivating?all plugins?(yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s)…
• If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”…
• Switching to the Twenty Twenty theme to rule out any theme-specific problems…

Once you have identified the plugin or theme causing the issue, you can contact those developers to notify them of the issue.

Here’s a great answer from another forum thread:

[The] PHP code loaded and interpreted together with WordPress PHP core code should be under GPL. This means – all plugins and themes PHP code should be GPLv2, assets can have another license

GPL refers only to code, and not an interaction. So apps that operate independently to WordPress, do not include WordPress code, and simply use APIs to interact with WordPress would not be derivative works.

Hi! I don’t have coding knowledge either. But searching for a plugin, I found something that seems to match what you’re looking for. Would this work?

I have a problem when I want to change the WordPress Address (URL), they are blocked from the WordPress settings panel, I have tried editing the wp-config.php file but it gives me an error and I can no longer access the website by any means. … What I’m trying to do is go from https://yosoyindumentaria.com.ar/wp/?to?https://yosoyindumentaria.com.ar/

At the moment, WordPress is installed in a subdirectory of the domain named wp. Would you like to keep the WordPress installation in the subdirectory, or move everything to the root directory?

1. If you would like to keep WordPress in a subdirectory, then you’ll want to edit the “Site Address (URL)”, but keep the “WordPress Address (URL)” as-is. You’ll also need to copy and edit the .htaccess and index.php files. You’ll find more details here: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory/#method-ii-with-url-change
   • Keep in mind, with this method, users will access https://yosoyindumentaria.com.ar/, but admins will continue to access https://yosoyindumentaria.com.ar/wp/wp-admin/ to log in to the site.
2. If you would like to move everything to the root directory, you’ll want to follow Moving Sites to move the entire site.
   • Another method is to create a fresh WordPress install in the root directory and manually recreate your site there. Migration plugins may assist with this.

What you’re describing sounds like something a plugin can help you achieve. Try searching the plugin repository for “favorite posts” to see what options there are. At a quick glance, here are a couple you may be interested in:

• Favorites – works for logged-out users also
• CBX Bookmark & Favorite – works for logged-in users

Please note, you’ll want to contact the support for the plugin you decide to use for assistance with setting it up.

The issue could be in the way custom fields are set up. Are you using a plugin for custom fields? Or have you coded them yourself?

Btw, I am using local server called Local by Flywheel. Not sure if this causes the issues.

Thanks! That information helps.

Do you have a live site (something on a server, not in Local) that you can login and test? Are you able to search for plugins there? If you are, then the issue is most likely in Local, or the local WordPress installation within Local.

If searching for plugins in your live site works, then Local has a troubleshooting guide I suggest you walk through. Try walking through these steps: https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-local/
