I rigged up something that works ?? not as pretty as I’d like but it’s functional.

Turned out the loop code in home.php was broken. I pulled a few lines from index.php and gave up some cool border formatting but it works ??

Really? Hmm… that makes a lot of sense. I think this one might be using home.php. I was thinking that they seemed pretty redundant. I’ll explore that a bit.

Thanks esmi. I’m reviewing the Loop articles in the Codex now. It has helped me quite a bit. I’m going to restore the previous version of home.php and index.php and try again from scratch. Hopefully I can get things looking and acting the way I want. If not I’ll make a more informed post some other time.

I read that before I posted. I understand the logic of the loop. I even tried copying and pasting the sample “loop code” from that document and it wouldn’t pull any articles from the database. I’m not sure if it’s the custom php scripts the theme employs or if it doesn’t have all the needed loop code. I learned to build sites using html years and years ago… I haven’t looked at source code since I was 17. This PHP stuff is greek to me.

Am I missing elements of the loop? I didn’t think I had removed any of that code. It used to pull “uncatagorized” posts with that heading in “strong” text and the post with a read more link… I’m going to review the loop again but I’d love it if someone could shed some light on this in the mean time. Maybe I’ll have a eureka moment before then.

EDIT: Also, is the loop broken on index.php and home.php? I suppose it must be if no posts are being populated.

It took me 4 hours to decode footer.php and add a pravacy policy to it… I can only imagine how long this is going to take.

SECOND EDIT: Looks like I’ve made a mess taking out the other two boxes in the main column of home.php. It doesn’t even look like my other pages now. I’ll have to figure out another way to remove these boxes and have my blog posts actually show up.

Right on! Thank you kindly Sam. I appreciate that you went out of your way to do that for me.

I tried 3 different decoders and can’t figure it out. Please help!

I tried using the base64 decoder but it is not working. I don’t know if I’m using it incorrectly or what. The malicious code is here:

I went through other php files and don’t seem to see any other strange code. I would just pick another theme but I’ve been playing with this one for so long already.
