Thanks Alirius. It was a good read. I’ll consider what I learned and think about what to do moving forward.

However, I’m mostly concerned now as to whether the fact that I found the wp-config.php publicly writable (666 or rw-rw-rw-) indicates it was hacked, what the impact might be, and what I should do to recover.

I actually am still following this thread! I’m still using this code and it still works great.

As for where to put the code, you simply post it on any page or post. Also make sure to switch from the visual tab to the text tab before posting in the code. Otherwise the code will not execute.

Now, if I can only figure out a way to get a notification when someone plays a video…

guardup, did you ever find a way to do this? I’d like to automatically mirror a WordPress site for redundancy. We use Incapsula as a CDN but that doesn’t help for dynamic content. I found a WP plugin called WP Mirror but that requires a manual action.

So the folks over at Wistia were very helpful and we figured this out. We found we can embed a Wistia video in a WordPress post so that it plays without leaving the page but also tracks the user who watched the video based on their WordPress login. Why am I bothering with Wistia? They have some really cool analytics that allow me to see how much of the video was watched and by whom.

To do it, we used a S2Member short code to grab the email address of the currently signed in WordPress user and embedded that in some JavaScript code. Just replace the video ID with the video you want to display. It needs to be changed in two places. The video ID in this case is “lyxk4fqan6”.

<script>
var theEmail = "[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_EMAIL" /]"
</script>

<div id="wistia_lyxk4fqan6" class="wistia_embed" style="width:728px;height:410px;"> </div>
<script charset="ISO-8859-1" src="//fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js"></script>
<script>
wistiaEmbed = Wistia.embed("lyxk4fqan6", {
    trackEmail: theEmail
  });
</script>

Hope that helps some Wistia / WordPress / S2Member users (assuming there are more than just myself)!

@vermonster68, did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue. I just loaded the Yootheme Inspire on my Godaddy host, same hosting as you have. I’ve tried many of the things you have but no good. Any suggestions? I’m thinking I may need to ditch Godaddy hosting.
