Thanks, in my case it was the permalink thing.
Just changing the permalink settings to dynamic structure and then back to ‘pretty perms’ did the trick for me!

I tried to post this yesterday but I couldn’t, got “the thread is closed” message..

Hi clegg100,

What that code does is to remove a string of text from the_excerpt, it doesn’t change the starting point (which was my original question, I know), sorry!

OK, I found one that works!

<?php
$myExcerpt = get_the_excerpt();
$tags = array(“”);
$myExcerpt = str_replace($tags, “”, $myExcerpt);
echo $myExcerpt;
?>

Hope it helps someone else too, cheers!

Hey, I’ve just seen this suggestion.

I’ve tried it and some variants but without luck, thanks anyway!

Hi,
I didn’t try to contact the author because when I tried to search for a solution I found innumerable posts from other people with the same issues and many of them where pointing out that it is pointless to contact the author since it won’t provide any solution.

About the “review”, well, there were so many issues with the site that I tried to be as graphic as possible, it really ruined the site, hope it helps other people to be very careful before trying this plugin.

Best regards!

Another number 23 here :-S

I had to use another plugin since yours wasn’t working.

Anyway, you wouldn’t be able to see the problem at the website, since the problem I stated was on the back-end (configuration page).

I’m having exactly the same problem, any clues?

While I cannot be 100% sure since an online environment is hardly isolated, I can tell you that I started having the encoding problem right after installing and running this plugin.

There were no other changes at the time.

After uninstalling the plugin and restoring a DB backup everything went back to normal, haven’t try to run it again tough (and I don’t think I will).

@jrf, when the theme was compliant the pages wouldn’t get numbered either.

The plugin was “working”, since all the titles were changed by it, but no luck with page numbers (even if the parameters were there), so, that’s one possible solution that may serve others with the same problem.

@computacion – the page number only shows up on follow on pages, not on the first page. As you can see here, it does that correctly. Suppose that’s one problem solved.

Solved it by modifying the header code myself..

Yoast’s plugin wouldn’t do it, no matter if you tell it to in the plugin settings, it just doesn’t work.

Here’s an example code for generating paginated titles:

<title><?php wp_title('?', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
<?php if ( is_home() ) {echo (' - YOUR TAGLINE HERE');}
?>
<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) {
} else {
echo (' page ');
echo ($paged);
} ?>
</title>

Hope it helps.

Try installing a cache plugin, like W3C or WP Super Cache.
If that doesn’t help, you can try something like this: https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/caching-thumbnails-generated-by-timthumb/.
Good luck!

I’m having exactly the same problem (see here or here), googling about it shows a lot of unhappy people (and not only because of this issue) but no fix. It seems the plugin it’s a bit buggy..

Just bumping to see if anyone knows something about it?
Still couldn’t find anything like this.
Thanks!

Well, it seems the vulnerability was in timthumb.php and the code was injected in every WordPress install thorough the shared hosting. The malicious code was located inside .php files in the wp-includes folder and sometimes also in the (current) theme folder, so basically you should upgrade or re-install core files, themes and plugins (just in case) before securing your site again, hope it helps if anyone goes through the same.
