I have the identical problem and it’s really starting to cripple my websites ans challenging my patience. In my case, I narrowed it down to the NGG slideshow not displaying as soon as I switch to a page with a sidebar option, be it a blog page or page template with the sidebar option. I tried it the perennial unisnt plugins routine and other tricks, but the problem still persists. I keep uninst/re-inst Flash and java on all my browsers, but still no dice – the issue occurs on IE, Firefox and Chrome, plus the problem can be intermittent and erratic. Very difficult to troubleshoot. This is the error message I receive:

“Slideshows require the Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support.”

This is exasperating!

No, haven’t use Firebug. I’ll look for it on the net. Many thanks WPyogi!

I offer my apologies for any confusion I may have created. On the flip side though, people sometimes get criticized for starting a new topic when one or more have already been posted… However, I digress.

Hi Esmi. In my case, as I left town last week, I did a shutdown of my computer. Daily virus checks were performed as well (with 2 diff virus apps) before I shutdown and left town. After my return, I performed 2 V checks since last night and no malware items were found (it’s not to say that maybe there still might be something hanging around, I can’t confirm that?).
needless to say that Godads removed the malware in my case. They were not forthcoming with any information concerning the security breach problem (on their end no less). I expect my web hosting provider to include security as par of the service cost I paid for. Any suggestions as far as more dependable hosting outfits that are more sympathetic to WP sites are concerned, pls let me know.

Tigerscratch: I cannot see your problem on my end when the site is viewed via Chrome or Firefox on a PC. Sorry.

Newsflash: GoDads cleaned the malware (took 10 mins over the phone). No apologies, of course. The support dude also put the blame on my WP plugins (which I don’t think was the case in my situation as I had not updated anything in over a week) and on my theme (i.e. Photocrati). I cannot confirm the latter though. There is no current Pcrati update available (next one is entering the beta stage). I guess I’ll have to contact the good folks at Pcrati and discuss the issue with them too.

I’m not sure if this issue is totally solved?

Mega thanks to everyone who replied!!!
merci,
Pierre

Hi all. Thx for your involvement. I’ll get on the phone this morning with Godads and see if they can resolve this issue for me. I’m flummoxed at the fact that they are not more proactive about these hacking threats and intrusions. They are losing credibility in the security dept.

Cheers,

I ran the securinet scan and it found this malware:

MW:SPAM:SEO

This is a nightmare.

Tigerscratch: I don’t see any hack ad links from the site link you provided. Thx though.

I have to now consider dropping Goddady. This is affwecting my business. I’m very disappointed in their lack of action. I never received any e-mail notification from them concerning possible issues re: hacks on their servers. Very irresponsible.

Thx for the info.
P.

Hi WPyogi.

My computer was shutdown for one week and I saw the problem from my mobile device. So that eliminates the malware possibility from my end. My site is hosted by Godaddy and I suspect the hack was done on that end. However, I will go through your suggested Tshooting links.

Many thanks.
P.

addendum: Unfortunately, my issue appears when viewed in all major browers.

Thx.

Hello.

I also have this problem and it’s hurting my business site. I was away for a week and only noticed the problem today. I deactivated all my plugings, BG image and re-installed WP, but the ad links hack still remains.
I wonder if the issue might not reside with my web provider?

Here’s a link to mt site:

Any insight, comments or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
Pierre

Just an addendum to this issue:

Photocrati relased version 4.5.1 which includes a fix for the Jquery/dropdown submenu problem (among others). I’m sure there will be a host of plugin authors who will be updating their products as a result of the Javascript issue as well.

Cheers.
Pierre

Gentlemen. Thanks for your replies. I was going absolutely nuts working into the early hours of the morning trying to solve this issue.

Remember this: Java had to issue an emergency fix for jv due to the well know security breaches in the SW. In my case, Photocrati (as with most other folks) was behind the curve and are working diligently to create a patch fix for their community of users.
However, in my situation a simple addition of two ‘comment out’ characters fixed my dropdown problem.
Here is Photocrati’s post concerning the issue:
__________________
We are aware of a sudden loss of functionality with drop down menus and gallery sections in some theme versions as a result of a global update to JQuery 1.9 which occurred late in the day on January 15th, and are taking steps to correct it as we speak. As soon as we have a solution we will be emailing all users, as well as posting to social media and on our blogs. We do apologize for any inconvenience, and are working to correct this issue as swiftly as possible.
As a temporary solution, you can go to your WordPress files via FTP or through your web hosts admin area / CPanel, and make your way to:
wp-content > themes > photocrati-theme > header.php
(**theme names may vary slightly – be sure to work within your active Photocrati theme if you have multiple instances**)
open the header.php file, and comment out lines 169 and 170 by adding // to the front.
change this…
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
wp_register_script(‘jquery’, (“https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js”), false, ”);
to this…
//wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
//wp_register_script(‘jquery’, (“https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js”), false, ”);
This should resolve the issue, and we will have a more permanent solution as quickly as possible.
Thank you.

Cheers and thanks again!!!

Esmi: Photocrati just this minute posted this important information (with a temporary workaround) on their website regarding the problem. I suspect it’s pretty widespread amongst Photocrati users:

Again, many thanks.
