I have deactivated plugins and theme, no avail.

I thought the update to 3.3.4 would solve, but the situation got worse. After I read other support ticket regarding 3.3.4 update issues and its comments from other users as well as the responses from the developer, I used WP Rollback to go back to 3.3.3.

Still problem saving things as basic things as auto-start, navigation dots displays or not; are not working. Please help.

For instance, our main slider on:

Let me know if you want me to send you parent’s theme’s functions.php.

I’m so desperate that I would try the pro version, but I feel trapped to be honest.

It is frustrating not to be able to use the features that exist. Is this a known issue or just me?

I encounter another “settings fail to save” issue.

For the main slider, which we utilize Flex Slider, Auto Play was set ON initially, and changed to OFF. That didn’t get saved. It remains ON.

I’m playing with crop position with one of smaller sliders. Upper right of which title includes:（1914-1942）.

3 slides are set as:
Bottom Right
Top Left
Center Center

One in middle works, but the rest doesn’t. It works sporadically sometimes but mostly won’t change and/or save(?) as wanted.

Some crop position changed, but I have no idea why some did and some didn’t. Some stick and some won’t. Inconsistent. Any idea?

I had another site hacked and couldn’t find as I did above. My client didn’t know when the hack manifested didn’t help the matter. I was writing an email to recommend services like sucuri when I tried the last attempt at database via phpmyadmin. I read wp-options is a problematic table so decided to look again. By a pure luck, out of over 600 record sets, the first page of values showed a very strange looking text. It finally dawned on me it was a javascript code in backwards. No wonder searching for “viagra” didn’t return any result. It was “argaiv”!!

I deleted the record and the horrible long paragraph over every page top disappeared. Yey! I know the site is not out of woods since we don’t know how it got embedded or where the decoding script lies. But I thought this may help some others.

Search for “tpircs” (script) or “tpircSavaJ” (Javascript) or even “>vid/<” (/div, which was the first on the value.)

Good luck! Hope bad guys go away, but probably they will get smarter only.

I wanted to share how I found and got rid of paddy power (casino) link with not so high-end coder folk. I took over a site someone else built, and it was daunting to me to take all the steps I was recommended to take in the suggestions on the post like this. I might have been just lucky.

1. Checked the server to see which plugin seems most suspicious, correlating to the happenings of the hack by date and file modified date.
2. Gone to www.remarpro.com plugin page and entered each one in the search.
3. Found one that didn’t turn results (guessing never made to the list or dropped by www.remarpro.com = susupicious.) In our case, it was “SEO Cheese” plugin. The name sounds suspicious, doesn’t it?
4. Read review of the plugin from search engine results.
5. Not related to a particular link, but there was a suggestion of a problematic file. And the kind soul had a name of file itself. Plugin’s setup.php
6. Found and deleted: <p align="left"><a href="https://bet.ucoz.co.uk/index/paddy_power/0-6">Paddy Power</a></p>

Contacted Godaddy. Sounding much more technical, I could convince a rep (my third) to look further. /tmp is created when WP is installed. But when the site was transferred to Linux from Windows, /tmp was somehow got lost and didn’t get moved over. Also, WP was not installed but transferred to Linux, so it didn’t get generated on Linux server automatically; thus, causing that issue.

esmi and nionae were absolutely right and Godaddy had to go in to this shared server to created /tmp directory.

So if the same need were ever to arise, I now know to migrate onto the Linux server first and then install WP.

I’m documenting so others can benefit.

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you both for giving me a direction!!
