Does your host allow you to access your php.ini file?

I found this support document that shows you how to increase your max execution time:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5164930/fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-of-30-seconds-exceeded

FWIW, it took my server a good 60 seconds to generate my RSS feed!

Good news — I was able to get it working. A few things to note:

1) I didn’t realize there was a separate RSS feed for instant articles, doh! I was just putting in my regular feed. Here’s the instant articles feed that this plugin generates: https://yourdomain.com/feed/instant-article
2) The claimed URL is case sensitive. I capitalized one of my site’s letters, which didn’t match the canonical URL in the RSS feed, so it wasn’t validating. I added my URL again in all lower case and it worked fine.
3) This is the only part I’m not clear about: At business.facebook.com > my page > settings, I added my feed to FB’s Development RSS Feed, saw nothing for 30 minutes, and decided to add the same feed to the Production RSS Feed. Waited another 15 minutes, and voila at business.facebook.com > my page > publishing tools > instant articles, both the Dev and Production were populated. So not sure if anything I did triggered this, or I just needed to sit tight and be patient.

Anyway I hope this helps others out.

BTW thanks radiomantodd for your suggestion. I checked my feed and it is outputting fine — what kind of error are you getting?

Thanks so much! I added my feed URL to the Development RSS Feed about an hour ago, and it shows that it was ingested (“updated for the last time two minutes ago”).

I’m still not seeing anything on business.facebook.com > Instant Articles > Development, however. Is there anything else I need to do?

By default settings, do you mean Spreadplugin options? I am altering the shortcode on the page. I’m saying once the page builds cache with all the products, even if I alter the short code to only display a chosen category, it will keep on displaying all the products.

OK, update. Turns out none of them are working properly. I tried on a third host as well.

1) Create a post with [spreadplugin shop_category=”(numbers)”]
2) Rebuild Cache (shows 2 products)

It will display that category properly.

3) Update the post to delete shop_category
4) Rebuild cache (shows 16 products)

It will display all products

5) Update the post to include the shop_category again.
6) Rebuild cache (shows 2 products)

Page continues to show all products.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Todd, my own blog has been hit by this as well. I have still not figured out how to prevent these totally, but to at least stop them from redirecting, go here:

https://blogingenuity.com/2009/05/14/remote-file-inclusion-rfi-attempts-detecting-tracking-and-mitigating/#more-369

… and follow the instructions in “Stronger Security Hardening Via php.ini”

I will post here again when I’ve figured out how to completely stop it on my own site.

As always, be sure to backup any files you modify just in case it causes problems. Hope that helps!

Thanks whooami! I will try the steps you suggested and get back to you with my findings.

In answer to your first question, I used grep while ssh’d to my server and OS X’s spotlight after I had downloaded all my files+database to search for any “peb.com.ua” or “document” occurrences within my files.

The first search for peb.com.ua came up negative, while the second search found this line in xmlrpc.php twice:

$filename = preg_replace('#https?://.+?/#', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/', $filename);

… which seems to be normal?

Oh hey, that did the trick, Michael! Thanks!

Hi. I just had the same problem. For some reason, one time instead of prompting to download I got this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in {my website’s directory}/wp-includes/functions.php

After some googling, I decided to add this to my .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 16M

This seems to have worked, but I’m not satisfied with the solution. Here’s what I *do* know:

1. This is not a client-machine-specific problem.
2. This is not a server problem (I have another wordpress installation on the same server with a much larger blog that has no problems, same exact wordpress version 2.0.4).
3. There is nothing wrong with edit.php or functions.php – I reuploaded fresh versions and it didn’t fix the problem.

My suspicions is that something is gobbling up memory when you click on edit.php. It could be:

1. An errant plugin (but my tests thus far have been inconclusive)
2. Something wrong with the wordpress database

The latter is most likely at this point, but I have no idea how to diagnose this. I’ll let you know if I continue to have problems, but thus far the .htaccess trick seems to have worked.

Hi Saane – I didn’t receive anything. Try using this address:
aznbbj -at- yahoo -dot- com

hmm .. can you send me a link of the site you’re working on? it’s tough for me to figure it out without seeing the actual implementation of the code.

if you’re not comfortable posting it here, you can send it to me via the contact form on my site: https://www.padstyle.com/?page_id=5.

btw here’s some additional information on differences between IE and other browsers:
https://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-friendly-resources/css/internet-explorer.shtml

note item #1 – the differences only seem to apply to border and padding, not margin.

Hi Saane – I’m no CSS expert but try this in your block (I’m guessing it’s #frame in your code):

margin: 0 auto;

Just wanted to follow up. I found a workaround for this.

Here’s my code in comments.php:
<img class="gravatar" src="<?php gravatar("PG", 45) ?>" />

As you see I created a class for gravatar. It’s in my style.css file. Here’s the declaration:

.gravatar { border: 1px solid #ccc; position: relative; float: right; }

Basically what I did was added a “position: relative;” in addition to “float: right;”. The border is just an embellishment and not necessary.

I think you’re right Kristin. I removed ALIGN=”RIGHT” from my IMG SRC and I can see my image in Internet Explorer now.

Unfortunately it’s no longer aligned right as I’d like it to be. Still trying to fix that.
