Any ideas, I think this is a bug or a change in behavior with 4.2.3

The post content is correct in the database.

WordPress is now encoding ampersands in my urls or links in posts and it is causing problems.

s2member

I would like ask this question again. I am now a pro member, and I am in the process of migrating a site to s2member.

My question is simple. How do I deal with subscriptions that have a Paypal IPN pointing to old software.

I am pretty sure you cannot update an IPN on a existing subscription in Paypal.

I see 3 options.

1. Maybe there a pro option for this or something already written. I think this might be referencing something — https://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/help-with-paypal-central-ipn-php-and-ipn/
2. If I could find the code called by https://example.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1 maybe I could a hack it into working for the old IPN.
3. And the most time consulting, cURL the old address to the new address. This would be painful as I don’t cURL much.

Any help is greatly appreciated, and of course, correct me if something does not make sense.

Thx, it was 3.8 and it happened again…

These are the steps I took to try to fix the prob…

1) Dropped all unused tables from database (you get these from trying plugins), including the table that this hack installed (scary!). Be careful doing this!

2) Checked all media files to make sure there were no executable files in the media folders.

3) Went through the site’s plugins in the plugin folder and checked that there were no files out of date sync with other files (plugins typically overwrite everything on update so file dates for a plugin should be exactly the same)

4) searched the theme in use for eval and base64 backwards and forwards…also searched for string reverse (strrev). Deleted themes twentyten, twentyeleven, and twentytwelve.

5) Downloaded a fresh copy of WordPress, unzipped it, and copied wp-content from the current install into the fresh install. Uploaded it into a new directory and got the domain working right with these instructions https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

If I didn’t get I will be back to this post!!!!

Thx, Willy

cubecolour, kmessinger:

I continue to work on hardening this site. I just want to publicly acknowledge that I found multiple Trojan-432 trojans in the server’s email inboxes. And according to thread below, this Trojan may be targeted at Tibetan sympathizers.

So perhaps the attack is more sophisticated than it looks.

Thanks, Willy

Thx cubecolour

The theme is custom and the site is https://www.jewelheart.org.

I am afraid to list my plugins…if you want take the conversation private my email is kwillrichardson at gmail.com

I am planning on rebuilding the site to try close any back doors…I already cleaned up the database and I will check the media files tonite…

Best, Willy

Update:

This happened again, same link except the code had things like:

if (!$exists) {
$wpdb->query("CREATE TABLE wp_bannedip ( ipaddr VARCHAR(60) )");
}

Anybody else get hacked in the footer?

Thx, Willy

This is the second time something has magically appeared in my footer. I am guessing it is related to a plugin. You are right, I went to the location and it was pretty harmless hack. Still someone has a way into my footer file. I guess maybe my facebook plugin hooks into wp_footer or something like that, I am not sure, I really not a WordPress guru.

Thanks, Willy

To anyone on this thread.

I wanted to change the colors of the Woocommerce message boxes to colors that work with my custom theme, not a Wootheme. After much googling and playing I came up with this solution to share on this thread.

First, to control the order of css script loading, disable Woocomerce css under Woocommerce -> Settings -> General -> Styles and Scripts

Then in your functions.php file add

wp_enqueue_style('woocommerce_css', plugins_url() .'/woocommerce/assets/css/woocommerce.css');

to enqueue the standard Woocommerce css and

wp_enqueue_style('woocommerce_custom_css', get_template_directory_uri() .'/woocommerce/custom.css');

to enqueue a custom css file after

To change the colors of the messages, for instance, to make the error messages blue put:

.woocommerce-error {
	border-top: 3px solid #0000FF;
}
.woocommerce-error:before {
	background-color: #0000FF;
}

in your custom css file.

To make other changes check the code in woocommerce.less in the plugins directory.

HTH

You know, I am not going buy that. It’s WordPress so there are conflicts and such, that’s why you deactivate things and override functions.

Apparently in all my toying, the problem worked itself out. I am not sure whether it was a browser issue or a WordPress conflict. As I write this, I am leaning towards a Firefox/Windows issue.

Trying another browser would have saved me an afternoon. I have actually never seen an input box act like that.

Thanks for your help.

All right:

The input boxes are not working in Firefox primarily. Its seems these admin page input boxes only work with IE. I did look at the html under the hood and it looked pretty modern, maybe a little too modern for me. Also tried another ecommercce plugin and had a similar issue which lead me to try a different browser.

Incompatible input boxes (&^%$#^^). Nice way too spend a weekend.

Solution: try another browser.

That’s too scary, I’d rather punt. The site is large, in active use, and has about 20 plugins.

Thanks for your help. Maybe I’ll try that tomorrow when there’s been a backup. I updated a lot of things and cleaned up some when I went through the plugins.

Nope, that didn’t work, Paypal Standard email stayed grey as I disabled plugins. Nothing is bombing out so I don’t think its a plugin conflict.

Even tried disabling every plugin I have and then enabling Woocommerce, still no luck.

I guess I will try that, I was hoping not too.

Thx

Did you buy any extensions, I tried to buy the Paypal Express to see if that fixed the problem?
