  • Forum: Fixing WordPress
    In reply to: Hacked

    I had the same problem. As far as I know it was only on one page, but I’m still checking. I have also changed my PW and updated to 4.7.2. Hopefully, that will be the end of it. Except does anyone know who this moron is so I can go set him/her/it on fire?

    One added note: for the php.ini file to be re-read, you have to log out of WP-admin and back in. Until you do that, it will have no effect. 🙂

    I found the php.ini file on my server in the root directory, and the suggested change worked instantly! 🙂

    However, a caveat: I originally assumed that the ini file would not be there, so I tried the .htaccess approach with very bad results. I tacked the two lines to the end of the file, and my site went down immediately. I started getting 500 errors indicating that the server was not accessible. Fortunately, I was able to FTP the original file back in place, and all was well. Then I looked for the ini file, which I found and fixed.

    The moral: Be sure you have a way to undo anything like this that you do before you do it, because the results can be unexpected and very, very serious. 🙂

    Thanks for the tip. It was the third time this week I ran into the file size limit, and I decided to just fix it once and for all, which with you help, I did.
