Hey @andrew out of curiosity what makes this kind of question/topic considered spam?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Genesis Grid] suspicious fileI wouldn’t stop there in my opinion. Odds are this isn’t the only “suspicious file” added. Out of curiosity what were the contents of the file?
Depending on your host, there are usually scripts available to run that will check for viruses/malware/etc. It’s usually a little complicated if you’ve never done it before though.
I suggest installing this:
Anti-Malware and Brute-Force Security
It is in my opinion the fastest and easiest way to find malware files for free.
There are also some great security plugins that do a good job of preventing this kind of stuff from happening (for the most part). I like All in One WP Security, but there are a lot of options out there.

In reply to: [Merge + Minify + Refresh] It broke my site!That’s kind of the whole point of the plugin…
Saying that it “broke your site” is a bit dramatic, IF what you are saying is all that happened. Breaking your site would be where your site was completely inaccessible and you weren’t able to deactivate the plugin without accessing your server directly. Was this the case?
I’m pretty sure this is a permission issue with revslider. If that is the cc file is that dynamically changes in revslider, I’m guessing the permissions are being changed when it’s saved. Try changing the permissions on that folder /css/settings.css as well as the file. Also, be sure you rae using the latest version of revslider. You should also consider posting in rev-sliders support forum on codecanyon. Since, it’s a premium plugin, it’s very important to them that they are compatible with plugins in the wordpress directory.
Also, it looks like you’re new to ww.wp.xz.cn so just a piece of helpful advice. If you have an issue with a plugin, it is always best to post it in their support tab. That is how they know to fix the plugin, plus it doesn’t completely ruin the reputation of the plugin.
For example, this plugin has 7 (1 stars) and 1 (1 star) averaging to 4. A lot of people might not even bother to look at plugins 4 stars or less. One bad review, especially on a newer plugin can single handedly cause a plugin to stop being developed.
Anyway, usually what I do is I post in support first. If after a few days no response, and the plugin did in fact break your site, causing you to have to ftp and delete it manually, then I’d definitely give a bad review. However, if it was just an error or something small wasn’t working, I’d deactivate it and check back in a couple weeks if I still needed it. If by then there was still no response, I would give a bad review.
You need to remember that these plugins are all free. People spend hundreds of hours, if not more developing them for us. Just my two cents.

Ulfben, GF now hosts the plugin on github (link) to try/use now. Anyway, looks like the three of you have done some good work with this. I’m uploading the development version now to test. Will post back if I’m able to offer anything useful..

In reply to: [Analytics for WordPress — by Segment] Google Analytics & SalesForceHey colum I’m guessing you’ve figured this out by now, but here the list of integrations for anyone that comes across this support topic that have integration questions.

In reply to: [Post State Tags] No support on older serversGreat for the fix.
For reference to anyone who gets led to this thread for a similar issue with another plugin that requires php 5.4 or higher, this can be added to the plugin activation file.
if ( version_compare( PHP_VERSION, '5.4', '<' ) ) { add_action( 'admin_notices', create_function( '', " echo '<div class=\"error\"><p>".__(The plugin could not activate because it requires at least PHP 5.4 to activate. Please contact your host on how to do this', 'pluginname') ."</p></div>'; if ( isset( $_GET['activate'] ) ) unset( $_GET['activate'] ); " ) ); add_action( 'admin_init', 'pluginname_deactivate_self' ); function pluginname_deactivate_self() { deactivate_plugins( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ); } return; } else { include 'plugin-core.php'; }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Facebook Events Importer] Fatal ErrorThanks baidoc.
I should have realized that since I’ve had the same issue before with WPENGINE
peorthyr if you are on wpengine, you can actually contact support and they will upgrade you. Also, I’ve never used site5 before, but it looks like you can do it there too.
If not using either of those, what host are you using? Most shared hosts have the option to change the php version in the cpanel/backend under “PHP Config” or through the file manager by making some changes to the php.ini and htaccess.

In reply to: [Genesis Custom Headers] Add wrap setting to individual pages/posts metaboxAlso, I just thought of something…. While I removed the global option, I just realized it would probably be smart to add a check and make sure the theme supports structural wraps before adding the page/post field:
if (current_theme_supports( ‘genesis-structural-wraps)) {
}Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Genesis Custom Headers] Add wrap setting to individual pages/posts metaboxHere it is with settings moved to individual pages/posts:
https://github.com/Dispute-Bills/genesis-custom-headers
We probably want to add the hide show feature so the metabox field is only visible when the enable header box is checked. You agree?
Yea 4.3 deprecates wp_richedit_pre which is being filtered in the
fix_wysiwyg_contentbtuck044 mentioned. It looks like it also is applying some new formatting on certain entities and special characters seen here and here.I haven’t had time to test btuck044’s fix yet, but it would be amazing if that fixed it. Seems like it’s never that simple!
BTW here’s a gist of the edit and what Eric explained above for those who don’t have expierence editing files.
Do you guys know the severity of the attacks? I had this issue on a site I had the 3.1.1 installed, but it wasn’t activated. Luckily a malware scan had detected this file:
xcloner-backup-and-restore/configs/view.php
In a frenzy I deleted the whole plugin, but copied the code above. I tried decoding it to see what it did, but couldn’t get it to work.
Once the old version is updated or removed is there anything else to worry about? I ran a complete site scan and didn’t find anything else. However, I just wanted to check if anyone knows if this malware can still gain access to anything after removing 3.1.1? Like if it installs anything outside the plugin directory that we should look out for or if it gains root access to the server, wp-config, database passwords, etc…
Thanks guys.

In reply to: [Custom Content Shortcode] Infinite loop with [content] detected.Looks like my fixing my issue ended up causing more problems for you here Eliot. Sorry about that!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Custom Content Shortcode] Memory issuesGlad we got this figured out quickly. Thanks again for the quick responses. You’ve really done a great job with this plugin. Reminds me a lot of Timber, but way more convienent for wordpress. I’ve actually been taking some ideas from https://github.com/cftp/shortcode-suggest and http://gndev.info/shortcodes-ultimate/maker/ the last month and am making an addon for custom-content-shortcode, that would give us a custom post type for the templates with autocompletion and an insert button on the post editor. I’ll let you know how it goes!
