In reply to: 2fa plugins as alternative for the full wordfence plugin?For 2FA, you can also use the Community plugin: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/two-factor/ – this is expected to be included in WordPress Core at some point.
You can find alternatives among the security plugins here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/tags/2fa/

In reply to: Include wordpress editor to external pageHere on the forum, we use this plugin for that: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/blocks-everywhere/
But a forum is different from a website’s frontend. There, you first need a form that allows users to save posts. As far as I know, this is possible with various form plugins, but only in their commercial versions.
Do you already have a solution for this? Because integrating an editor is pretty much the final step in this process. And for uploading images alone, a file selection field might be sufficient.

In reply to: no template showTemplates may have been created for specific content. In your list of all templates, for example, you’ll see an “All Archives” template that is used only in the Archives section and therefore cannot be assigned to any page.
Therefore, in the template selection for a page, you’ll only see templates that can also be used for the single-page view.

In reply to: I was hackedThere are a number of security plugins to choose from: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/tags/security/
However, these alone are not enough. You should also make sure to install updates regularly and, if necessary, check that your hosting environment is up to date (PHP version, etc.). See also: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/advanced-administration/security/hardening/

In reply to: I was hackedWhich theme are you referring to? Pending updates are generally listed under “Updates” or “Appearance”.

In reply to: I was hackedAs mentioned above, the Salient theme and its associated plugins are commercial products. We can’t provide any guidance on that here in the forum. Generally speaking, however, I would say you don’t need them if you’re no longer using Salient. Unfortunately, I can’t say whether you’ll lose any features that are essential for your shop, since I’m not familiar with these plugins for the reasons mentioned above. If you have any questions about this, please contact Salient’s support team.

In reply to: Something wrong in svn reposotory?From what I’ve read on Slack, there’s currently a slightly higher load on the SVN server. One of my plugin updates was also affected by this today. You’ll just have to wait a little longer than usual, but it will definitely be updated. The increased load should also ease up soon (no specific timeframe).

In reply to: I was hackedThe software you’re using isn’t just outdated. It hasn’t been supported for many years. There are no updates available for it.
If you want to get back online quickly and this is a shop, I would actually recommend building a completely new website. You can get that done quickly:
Install a fresh copy of WordPress.
Then install the Storefront theme: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/storefront/
And the WooCommerce plugin.You’ll need to configure WooCommerce according to your requirements and, of course, add your products to it.
Depending on what the latter looks like for you, this can actually be done in a few hours. You could do this yourself without further support and at no additional cost.
Again: avoid using outdated software for which there are no updates anyway.
Alternatively, you can of course find someone to recreate your old project and adapt and fix the outdated software for you. You’ll surely find someone like that here: https://jobs.wordpress.net – but it will certainly cost something – including time.

In reply to: I was hackedAny plugins that start with “salient” are likely part of the commercial Salient theme you’re using. You can only get these plugins and the theme from the developer here: https://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266
The “uninstall” plugin is extremely outdated, and you shouldn’t even consider using it. The same applies to “woo-show-empty-categories”, “breadcrumb-simple”, and “wp-defender”. I can’t find a plugin called “usps-woocommerce-shipping,” “woocommerce-colororimage-variation-select,” or “wpmudev-updates” anywhere.
Overall, I would recommend that you don’t try to rebuild the website exactly as it was, but rather rethink it. Take this opportunity to build something modern – not something based on such outdated software. Because if you do that, it will likely get hacked again very quickly.

In reply to: Issue with Publication Entry: Title Format and Editing ProblemIt appears you’re using a very old plugin called “KBoard” for this list. It has been marked as closed in the repository for 9 years now and should no longer be used, if only for security reasons. Also, there could also be incompatibilities with the current version of WordPress, the PHP version you’re using, or other plugins. This plugin is responsible for this list, as well as every entry, as far as I can tell.
You therefore have the following options to resolve your issues:
- Find someone who can review the plugin with you, customize its code to meet your needs, and ensure compatibility if necessary. You can find someone like that here, for example: https://jobs.wordpress.net/
- Or find another plugin that meets your requirements for this list. As far as I can tell, this is a list of external links that you likely just want to manage centrally. A quick search led me to: https://de.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/link-library/ – but there are probably others as well. The downside: you’ll likely have to re-enter all the links. If you need help with this, you can also use the job site mentioned above.
- Or switch the entire list to manual maintenance. Yes, this means you’ll lose the search function and the page-by-page display. But you’ll no longer be dependent on a plugin.

In reply to: There has been a critical error on our websiteYou’re seeing a 503 error, which likely indicates a problem with your hosting. I’d recommend contacting your hosting provider’s support team.

In reply to: Getting error when moving from PHP7.4 to 8.xThis message is not an error but merely a warning. You can also suppress it so that it appears only in the log file and no longer in the frontend. It is difficult to determine whether this has any functional impact, as the warning refers to code in a commercial theme called goodnews5. The developer of this theme has apparently ceased operations several years ago, which leaves you with the following options:
- Switch to a current theme. These are also compatible with PHP 8. Of course, this may require re-entering content or redesigning the website, which could be quite time-consuming.
- Or disable the display of PHP warnings in the frontend. This way, they’ll end up in the error log, where they won’t be a nuisance. Be sure to check carefully, though, whether this affects functionality in any way.
- Or find someone to adapt the theme to PHP 8 for you. You can find someone like that here, for example: https://jobs.wordpress.net

In reply to: admin-ajax.php is consuming 70%–80% CPU. What should I do now?Check which plugins on your front end are triggering AJAX requests. Try deactivating them one by one -or all at once – to see if that improves the situation. If it does, you’ll need to determine whether you still need the plugin, and if so, it’s best to contact their support team for clarification.
Also check your hosting access logs to see exactly which requests are going to
admin-ajax.php. If they are genuine AJAX requests, then the approach mentioned above would be the right one. If they are attack attempts unrelated to a genuine AJAX request, you may need to implement additional security measures.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: GutenbergHub image swapThe white space is caused by the three images above, which decrease in width but do not adjust the width of the surrounding block. This is apparently provided by a commercial plugin called “Image Swap,” which is why I would recommend that you contact their support for clarification: https://shop.gutenberghub.com/product/image-swap – questions about commercial plugins cannot be answered here in the forum.
