WordPress can work on Windows. I have several versions of WordPress working on my local Window XP machine. You just need PHP.

It works well on Apache web server. There may be issues with IIS though. What web server do you use?

404 means “File not found”. So it’s not WordPress error. It’s either a typo in the URL, or misconfigured web server.

Hi,

As far as I know, there is not Search API for WordPress. But since it’s your company blog, there shouldn’t be any problem to screenscrape the search results.

Just use something like BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML. This shouldn’t be difficult.

This must be the Uniquefier. Here is an excerpt from their site:

It is a well known fact that search engines (for google has been proofed) can run and index non advanced JavaScript from your pages. This is why, by using a special technique we place the original articles under a JavaScript run.

Check you web servers for any suspicious files. There could be backdoor scripts left by hackers.

Check your own computer for viruses and spyware. Trojans can compromise your passwords.

When your are sure you computer is clean, change all passwords (FTP, DB, etc.)

You might also want to contact you hosting provider. It the servers are compromised at root level, only your hoster can resolve the issue.

It’s not a hack. It’s spam. They are trying to get through your antispam filter to get approved and then post more meaningful spam without restrictions. Once they see their message was actually published they know that they can post more spam on your blog.

Just don’t approve such comment and delete them (or mark as spam in akismet).

The same issue in WordPress 2.7-beta2-9621

Update:

There are many similar scripts on your home page. The first one was AdSense code. The rest are the posts themselves. E.g.:

<div style="float:left; padding: 12px"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/cc/quick_weight_loss_tips36.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/cc/quick_weight_loss_tips36.jpg" title='quick weight loss tips' alt='quick weight loss tips' /></a></div> <div><em><strong>Jayson Hunter</strong> asked: </em><br /><br /><br />ght loss follows with the right frame of mind. To lose weight fast, you need to be in the right frame of mind. I believe too many people enter into a diet plan without mentally preparing for it first.<br /><br />Quick weight loss is possible...

I have no idea why they are encoded. Hiding from search engines?

When the code is executed it inserts the following HTML code
<div style="text-align: center;margin: 3px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4433609472666563"; google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF"; google_ad_width = 125; google_ad_height = 125; google_ad_format = "125x125_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = ""; google_color_link = ""; google_color_bg = ""; google_color_text = ""; google_color_url = ""; google_ui_features = "rc:10"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div><p1>Welcome to www.quickweightlosstips.com!</h1> <p><strong>Start loosing weight now!</strong></p>

It’s Google AdSense. Most likely yours. Anyway, check the ID: pub-4433609472666563.

Hi,

P.S. Just in case.
Joomla Administrators Security Checklist
https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_Administrators_Security_Checklist

The error says that for some reason WordPress don’t have enough permission to read plugin directories. Make sure those directories have read and execute permissions for all, not just you.

I’d remove all plugins and their directories and then replace them with fresh files.

If you still can install new plugins, try some exploit scanners like WP Security Scan or WordPress Exploit Scanner.

In addition to the above suggestions…

Check your own computer for viruses and spyware (trojans can steal your passwords).

Check your .htaccess file. Sometimes those fake “anti viruses” add conditional redirects.

Try some exploit scanner like WP Security Scan or WordPress Exploit Scanner.

It looks like it can’t find your theme directory (make sure you have themes under wp-content) or cannot open it (check permissions).

Strange. Why drop 9 of WordPress tables and leave 3? Could this be a bug in one of your plugins?

Anyway, check your server for suspicious files. There could be some back-door scripts left from pre-2.6.2 time. And change passwords (ftp, db, wordpress).

You definitely should consider changing the hosting provider.
Your site now says “Jerusalem Hacker Was Here !!!”. I checked another site on your server and it was also hacked.

Unless you have a reliable hosting, all your efforts are useless ??

for files in wp-admin and wp-includes 664 should work.
For wp-content – it depends. If you want to be able to modify your themes from within WP admin, you need to leave the files writable. If you don’t plan to edit themes, you can make them read-only.
