In reply to: WP site hijack?If it’s a fresh install, something you don’t mind dumping and rebuilding, then I would suggest doing just that.
I always suggest deleting or renaming the default admin login (the first one created by the WP install) with something much different and using a 10+ digit password; I use phrases.
Thanks for the list. Not familiar with Raw HTML plugin, will look around a bit later tonight.

In reply to: My header aligns left before it aligns itselfSound like a javascript load issue. I’m using Chrome and couldn’t duplicate the issue.
So, I took a look at the code output and found that you theme is trying to request a piece of js from the wrong location.`<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://chrisfawkes.net/blog/wp-content/themes/photolounge/js/jquery-1.2.1.pack.js”></script>

In reply to: Comments on pagesDi you try the WP admin dashboard?
Go to the WP Admin Dashboard / Pages (https://EXAMPLE.COM/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page) and choose the quick edit function then uncheck the box for allowing comments on those pages.
This way you can have some pages where people can still comment.

In reply to: WP site hijack?Go through you plugins and theme and make sure they are all up to date.
Then take a look at (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked) and consider https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Hardening_WordPress.
I actually have not seen this issue floating around, but I did just started helping out here in the forums.
Would you do me a favor and list the plugins and theme you have installed/active? I can then take a look around a bit and see what I can find.

In reply to: Trouble Adding ThemeThe theme you are trying to use is a commercial one. The version you are trying to use is most likely a pirated version.

In reply to: Remove duplicate Tags!You can sort your tags by name and then remove/rename them that way. Are you sure they are exact duplicates, I don’t think WP will allow that.

In reply to: Embarrassed asking such a stupid comment questionThe main page, just like the category archives, are designed to show you a list of posts. The actual post is where the discussion takes place.
The way WordPress works, multiple posts are pulled through a ‘Loop’ and then displayed on your homepage & category archives. While on the single post, well, it’s just the one.

In reply to: Is high RAM usage normal under these circumstances:Well, without knowing the list of plugins you are using…
Generally speaking, some plugins can cause fairly heavy server loads. And your database could be bloated. I have a couple long standing sites, one with over 8500 posts so far.Personally, I use WP-DBManager (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager) and try to keep my plugins to a minimum. One plugin I almost always use is W3 Total Cache (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/).

In reply to: Facebook sharing problemI took a quick look at the output one your site, and noticed you are suing the Facebook Open Graph protocol plugin, and that is not completely setup yet. That appears to be the problem.

In reply to: Main Administrator account defaults to 'admin'Sorry, I have not seen this on any of my sites; haven’t even heard of this before. Will look around a bit and see if I find something.

In reply to: Change Css of my themeIt’s controlled by line 18 of the “styles/white.css” file in your theme folder.
Currently:
#topmenu { background: #212983; border-color:#fff; border-width: 1px 0; border-style: solid;}
Change to:
#topmenu { background: #502d7f; width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; border-color:#fff; border-width: 1px 0; border-style: solid;}
— always save/backup files before making any changes

In reply to: Site gone BlankWell, the first thing I would say is to remove the Chunk Theme. If you can, choose another theme from the wp-admin. If you cannot access the wp-admin dashboard, then use FTP or your file manager.

In reply to: Hacked 3 times in a weekGood reading (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked). Besides changing the password, also change the secret keys.
Make sure you do not have a login of ‘admin’. Also make sure that any passwords you use are 10+ characters long. I use phrases I will never forget and add some numeric aspect.
Want another level of security, try BulletProof Security (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/bulletproof-security/) or something similar.

In reply to: Having issues with my blog – please helpYou can set the size of your uploaded images in the Settings / Media section of the admin (https://EXAMPLE.COM/wp-admin/options-media.php)
The theme you are using has enough room for a 550px wide item while still having the sidebar.
You could then have it link to the attachment or use something like jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries and create a gallery in the post so people can view a slideshow via modal popup.
