good morning … ??

I sent it to [email protected]

send you an email … ??

please mail me @ [email protected]

??

can you tell me which plugin caused the trouble ?
I thing I should try to get deeper into website security… if one wants to build (wordpress) websites, security is one of the things that are not fun, but essential anyway I think …

Yes I know about .htaccess files. But as far as I know, they only limit the access using the apache webserver. So this is usefull to prevent someone from getting access using port 80 with the webbrowser.
But my question is: Can someone get root access rights to the whole webserver because of a “poorly” configured wordpress installation? I’d assume that thats not possible, but I’m not an expert in “hacking” and security issues … ?!

thanks for your help!
Thorsten

What I mean was root access rights, not the root folder. The installation might be in root directory, this isn’t anything to bother.

unfortunatly not, it’s running locally on a XAMPP on an Mac…

But, if mod_rewrite doesn’t work, shouldn’t the whole WP fail when I change the permalinks ?

thanks for your help. I used “User Role Editor” to change the roles accordingly ??

Although your post is quite old, maybe this helps:
If you want to achieve proper rectangles, you could add the following code into image_mapper_admin_script.js in Function AddArea() just after the ‘if(Coords.length < 3) {…}’ command.

Hope this helps,
Thorsten

[ Moderator note: please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. ]

if (Coords.length == 4 && confirm('Do you want the coordinates to be adjusted as rectangles ?')) {

		topp = 10000;
		left = 10000;
		right = -100;
		bottom = -100;

		for (var i=0; i<Coords.length; i++) {

			if (Coords[i].x > right)
				right = Coords[i].x;

			if (Coords[i].x < left)
				left = Coords[i].x;

			if (Coords[i].y > bottom)
				bottom = Coords[i].y;

			if (Coords[i].y < topp)
				topp = Coords[i].y

		}

		Coords[0].x = left;
		Coords[0].y = bottom;

		Coords[1].x = left;
		Coords[1].y = topp;

		Coords[2].x = right;
		Coords[2].y = topp;

		Coords[3].x = right;
		Coords[3].y = bottom;
