In reply to: Hacked via Contact Form 8If you were hacked via contact form 8 then try a contact form more focused on security than flashiness:

Also install this firewall plugin which is known to stop many common hacker tactics including sql injections:

Using phpmyadmin change your database table prefixes to something other than the default wp_

In reply to: I DOWNLOADED A THEME… NOW WHAT?To put it in simple terms, FTP is what you do using a FTP program. It’s used to upload and download files between your home computer and the server you are hosting your site on. But since you are new to this, don’t worry about that just yet.
In your wordpress dashboard go to “Appearance” >> “Add New Themes” then click on “upload” at the top, next browse and select your theme and click “install now”.

In reply to: SEO and text descriptionClicking on your site’s link redirects me to a site built using flash. I’m sorry to tell you this, but if you are worried about SEO you should not be making your entire site in flash since SE spiders can only read plain text and image alt tags not flash.
So a missing description is the least of your worries. BTW a description tag won’t make your site rank any better in the SE. It will however invite more users to click on your site’s link on a results page if it is written well enough. The description is the text you read under each site’s title in the search results page. So to add a description for your site just open up header.php in the theme editor and add the following meta tag somewhere between the <head></head> tags:
<meta name="description" content="THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL TYPE YOUR DESCRIPTION" />Paste the following code somewhere on your index.php file using the theme editor:
<?php global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level ?> <?php if ( !$user_ID ) : ?> <a href="https://www.YourSite.com/wp-login.php">Log in</a> | <a href="https://www.YourSite.com/wp-login.php?action=register">Register</a> <?php else : ?> Welcome <strong><?php echo $user_identity ?></strong> | <a href='<a href='<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>&redirect_to=/'>Logout</a> <?php endif; ?>The above code will show two text links:
Log In | Register
After logging in the page will show this message:
Welcome NAMEOFUSER | Log Out
As for a forum, you can use a forum plugin or something more advance like PHBB forum. If you don’t know how to do this or the above, then just pay a freelancer to do it. [email moderated]

In reply to: My sites down, need help fast!How did you upload wordpress in the first place? Did you use a ftp program or your hosting account’s file manager? Use that same method to navigate to your theme’s folder.
Step by step:
When you first enter your server you will see a folder called wp-content, click it and then click the folder called “themes” and then click the folder that is named after your theme and then download the file called functions.php
Once you have downloaded that file, open it using something like notepad. Then copy and paste it’s contents on this thread.

In reply to: My sites down, need help fast!Something changed in your theme’s functions.php file. Download it via ftp and paste it’s contents on this thread and I can take a look at it.

In reply to: Review mine: 68design(www.68ds.com) and exchange related link..Also why aren’t you using a caching plugin. Your site has good speed but using something some super cache will make it much faster. This is especially important for a site with so many images.

In reply to: Review mine: 68design(www.68ds.com) and exchange related link..I suggest using the Google sitemap plugin. Also post on do follow blogs and forums using your targeted keyword as the anchor text. Currently google has indexed just 6 pages of your site’s content. You can always check using this query:
site:www.68ds.com

In reply to: My gaming Lifestyle Site.phant1m,
Some suggestions:
1. The horizontal scroll bar that appears at the bottom of the homepage is no good. Most visitors hate those, get rid of it.
2. The rollovers for Home and About are fine. But for Disclaimer and License and Wishlist are too small. This is probably because you are using a fixed image for the rollover. Look into the sliding doors of css:

3. Put some text in the search button like search or go.
Good luck.

In reply to: mod_rewrite working but cant add extension(.php)He he, Well Matt Cutts seems to agree with you:

https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/But in my defense there are plenty of high ranking websites without the file extension in the URL ??
Keep the thread open, I’m sure someone can tell you how it can be done.

In reply to: WP Super Cache Looking WeirdPages only get cached when someone visits them at least once. After that all new visitors are served that generated static page (until the expiry time comes – then all cashed pages are deleted and wait to be cached once again).

In reply to: Cannot Remove Border Around Images Within PostsForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: mod_rewrite working but cant add extension(.php)Yes, when optimizing URLS for SEO you absolutely don’t want any unrelated terms that doesn’t have anything to do with your post topic. Say there are two posts written about the same thing and both are equally optimized. One uses:
https://mysite.com/obama-wins-election/
and the other uses:
https://mysite.com/obama-wins-election.php/
The former will most likely be preference by search engines in determining page rank order. You also want the main keyword to be as towards the left as possible. So if your keyword is “Michel Jackson” try to use:
/michel-jackson-songs/
instead of:
/songs-of-michel-jackson/

In reply to: Cannot Remove Border Around Images Within PostsHow about this, this type of thing is very difficult to do without looking at the actual stylesheet. So paste all the contents of your style.css here and we’ll find a solution a lot quicker:
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot Remove Border Around Images Within PostsI think I got that because I’m using firebug – I don’t have actual access to your style.css file so I see it a little differently.
Try changing:
.the_content img {
background:white;
border:1px solid #to:
.the_content img {
background:white;
border: none;
padding: 0;
}
