where you see the < = <

yes.. do not keep it in draft mode.. just exclude the page from your header and it should all work out fine

This is a VERY easy thing to do.

First you will need up upload your pdf to your server using an FTP program of your host’s file manager. You can put it in a sub folder or in the main folder..

Once your image is there, you will want to just make a simple link to that file.. Like this

<a href="https://yourdomain.com/subfolder/filename.pdf">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD</a>

Obviously you will want to replace “yourdomain.com” with your actual domain name.. and if you put it in a sub folder within that domain, you will replace the words “subfolder” with your actual folder name.

The text “CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD” can be changed to say whatever it is you want to.. that will be the link that the visitor clicks on to bring up the download box.

If you are doing this within your wordpress post writer, all you have to do is highlight the text you want to link, click the little link button, and put the url path directly to the pdf.. thats THAT easy

well, that was the project last night.. I went through weeks worth of access logs and didnt find anything.

I also know that it WAS wordpress that was the culprit because I have an e-commerce store and a portfolio on that website, and none of those were touched.

no.. this was definitely a hack.

NOTHING on the website was changed in MONTHS.. no even new plugins!

This hack screwed up my stylesheet, which means that iw ould have noticed it the DAY they hacked it.

I log into this blog about once a week if not more often, so i am 99% sure that this blog was hacked by the most recent eval script while running and updated install of wordpress

Also, a backup dated sept. 04 was clean and that is what cleared me of the hack

Ahh.. i guess maybe i SHOULD have posted there.. but i have been having NOTHING but issues.. that hack got me!! and i’m finally back up and running, but it was BAD..thank god to a host that does automatic weekly backups AND has awesome phone support

apparently this was ALL caused by the wordpress HACK

ok.. So i am assuming that this is the big hack everyone was talking about.. and probably the root of all of my issues.

So here is the thing.. HOW DO I FIX IT?!

WHERE is there a safe install?

thanks figaro. Managed to fix it by simply installing everything again and then reuploading the content and config files..so although it was a LOT of time, not too much work

Still unsure as to what really went wrong.. but its fixed. ALMOST (see a new forum post for the NEW issue)

thanks… I think that the user name and password was sent from my husband’s acct. his is the one under the blog because its HIS blog.. but the lindsay (at) is the correct email to use

thanks SOO much for taking the time.. really appreciate it

you should get an email with your own username and password.. i REALLY appreciate it

figaro.. thanks, I would really appreciate it. I will email you over stuff now.

I did that, but i think that MOST of my readers on my blog are not nessecarily technologically advanced.. i would PREFER to do it for them

I went to the plugin’s website, and they said he was thinking of adding a function that controls the size.. but i think your suggestion is going to work.

ohh thats a good thought.. its in the div class called “comment body” and its just a simple IMG tag

If you just define a width, it wouldnt squish things, it would just make the image that size while keeping proportions right? Or does using the img css not do that?? hmm.. not i got myself all confused. I have always resxized images by defining a width and leaving the height null so that it doesnt mess up the verticle/horizontal images

Can anyone around here help?
