DB Error

  • I checked error logs on a hacked site. If you visit, you only see a white page. Yet is gives this error in logs:

    [error]
    [Sat Jan 07 17:07:05 2017] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1635

    If it errs in bringing up/writing to the database, yet they only visit the site and not posting, and the db or file weren’t hacked ….. why the error?

    I checked error logs on a hacked site

    – The Exploit Scanner plugin can help detect damage so that it can be cleaned up. Other things you should do:

    • Change passwords for all users, especially Administrators and Editors.
    • If you upload files to your site via FTP, change your FTP password.
    • Re-install the latest version of WordPress.
    • Make sure all of your plugins and themes are up-to-date.
    • Update your security keys.
    • See FAQ My Site Was Hacked.

    – When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.
    – If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations that can clean your sites for you (e.g., Sucuri, Wordfence …).

    It was hacked sixteen months ago. It’s on the list to delete, reinstall, add the custom theme and restore db.

    I’m not posting about the hack. I’m just curious what users and search engines are doing to cause this error.
