Did my code get hacked? Strange things are happening with the widget

Hello,
There is nothing I know of that would strip images from your posts nor have I heard about anybody being hacked due to the plugin or widget..
I looked at the one page where you have it in the sidebar and it looks like it’s in an iframe, but my code doesn’t put things into an iframe. I looked again, but now the sidebar widget it gone so I can’t examine further. Did this just recently happen (meaning it was working fine before)? If not, there may be something between the plugin and your theme since the theme may override some settings in the widget. Let me know when you have a page that is not working again and I’ll take a look.

Hi Allen, quick reply as I’ve always seen, that’s why you got 5 stars and a direct link from my about page ??

I have disabled all plugins save jetpack (necessary) and rss multi. Plugin is visible again, but now other scripts are not working. Example. Look at the sharing buttons above post. There is a script to have them float when you scroll past. EVERYTHING was peachy two days ago… I had added a thing or two in jetpack, but have since deactivated. This is why I thought maybe the code had been hacked. I had read but can’t re-find the article that there was a vulnerability a few months ago with some of the new jetpack or wp popular post widgets, and people were getting their links hijacked to redirect. I noticed strange iframe behaviour as well, so thought maybe that was a clue.

If I uninstall and reinstall Your plugin, will my settings and feeds remain? That may be a place to start.

ok..2 things…it is not an iframe, just the normal behavior of the widget when you have a lot of items….if you cut down the number of items to show in the widget the scrolling should disappear…that is likely due maximum height set in the widget, but regardless should not be the problem.

My sense is the problem with the whatever you’re using to float things since that, if not done correctly, can mess up the page.

If you want to uninstall my plugin but keep all the settings, etc…do what is shown in the video (note, on your installation there are more lines to comment out, just do that for all of them

Yay! Figured it out! This was actually two problems that happened simultaneously.

1. Jetpack’s Top posts and pages… some users have reported link hijacking.

2. I had added a few more feeds. I had seen a similar problem another user had with a large amounts of feeds, but I could not re-find the support post, to reference here. Looks like the magic number is under 40 feeds. I have many feeds coming in, and you can see here: https://chewnews.com/whats-cooking/ the site either ONLY loads the header, or freezes completely. I selected a category in the widget, and it appears to work fine. See here: https://chewnews.com/originals/rise-of-the-cupcakes-a-food-trend-that-has-outlasted-my-expectations-gangnan-style/

You had helped someone else with this… assigning more memory… upping the memory, or something… That would work for me but I can’t find the stupid post!

I might suggest adding in the documentation “there may be a limit of feeds that some servers can handle”, and if they experience load difficulties they may need to up the memory allotment.

Thanks again for a great plugin and stellar support.

p.s. I had set a height restriction to give it scroll and take up less real estate ??
