Ok, I’ve fixed it now, they somehow modified something within my theme files. Now’s a good time for me to back everything up!

My website uses pages and posts.

If you attempt to view a post, by clicking on any of the links on the front page, you’ll see the hacked content right now until I fix it.

Something changed a couple months ago related to google images and hits on my website. I have seen a very sharp dropout of hits incoming form images.google.com. According to awstats I was getting close to 2000 hits/month from images, last month I had less than 200.

It appears something changed on google’s end but either way I’m affected and I’m not sure what needs to be done to fix it.

rubidium, did you make sure to add the code on single.php and page.php which is required to make this work?

I’ve also noticed some … strangeness with this plugin on my site. However, I’m not convinced it is functioning incorrectly. What I do notice is a disconnect between the searches and where the hits show up. For example I might get a number of search hits (say 5) for “witchblade art” on my site and I only have 1 page with the actual art in it, but there is only 1 hit on the page with the art. The reason I’m not convinced it is wrong is because I do have a link to this page on my main portfolio website and that is getting hits.

Anyways, at this stage I’ve become convinced that there is no good way to really track traffic, almost all tools really show a ballpark figure and all are sensitive to dropouts and … voodoo.

Oh, my site is https://www.eternalseven.com

Thanks for the cool plugin!

Not sure, try a couple of other themes to see if it’s just a bad download and try to contact the author. Sounds like you did all the right steps…

Actually I see there is an option under Users > Your Profile which allows you to just turn the thing off.

Thanks for the info posted here btw.

Well I don’t know how to turn it off, I guess I’ll look in the file you provided. There should be an option in the site admin which allows people to select which view they want for the editor as default (visual vs. code)

I’m not sure why you guys made the visual editor default since after a quick search I see many people are having trouble with it, not just me.

Well, this is a very good thread here. I also don’t think this spam of comments recently observed on my blog is trackbacks at all, it rather seems like some new bot network has hacked apart wordpress to the point they can initiate these comments via some type of software. Maybe it is using a trackback of sorts to trick our sites into thinking these are trackbags but I have a trackback from my own blog to a page on my site and it looks like a trackback – not a comment.

I’m going to check out this image recognition thingie over the weekend.

Moshu, maybe you should read what is being asked before letting your nerves get the better of you. I thought the question was very legit and poorly handled.

Hehehe, buff, this is many months later, I don’t know if you’re still attempting to use WP. I can’t do any of the admin stuff in WP through Microsoft IE, I have to use Firefox and I have no issues at all. For some reason WP sends IE into an endless loop and taps out my cpu usage to 100% on any computer I’ve tried using that runs IE.

If anyone has resolutions this would be good to post about.

I’m still using 2.0.4

Ok sorry, I have not visited this thread recently and had not even logged on to WP.org for a while.

In my file I added the new code on line #76 in the edit-page-form.php file.

This allows you to modify categories for pages identically to the way you edit categories for posts. Go to edit the page and on the right side you’ll have a box you can expand to edit the pages, you can select multiple categories and etc…

anandg: Pages reside outside the wp loop of posts – so they don’t show up in the categories like posts do. I’m sure you can edit more files in the wp-admin to get the functionality you want in the dashboard, it works for me fine right now as it is.

You can check out the way I have my website set up:

I just started developing a new theme for my art posts but you can see the old 2 themes in both page/post forms if you browse around. Hope this helps and it wasn’t too late.

PS. I’m using 2.0.4

Ah moshu that was a bit more helpful. I’m using some of these conditional statements in the header to determine what category each post/page belongs to. I’m not familiar with is_home tag but I’ll take a look into it.

I am using a particular theme to display one of my categories. I want this theme to only display in pages/posts and the category-4.php files, and I don’t want it to show up in the index.php file.

Yes, I’m referring to the index.php file in the WP directory.

Oh wow, relax buddy, it is exactly as simple as stated. I have made NO alterations to the wordpress code except to add a snipped which allows me to change page categories but that has nothing to do with the question I posed.

My website has TWO themes, a main theme and a theme which shows when posts/pages belong to the Subspace category. It is a template or a theme like any other.

I have made NO alterations to the main loop.

This is obviously something which I will have to resolve myself though, like the page categories topic, because it is obviously too complicated for you guys to figure out even though I find it surprising and I don’t think the setup I’m running on my site is complicated at all. The conditional tags I’m using are strictly to display each theme properly because of how I’m displaying the header mainly but there are tags which check the category outside of the header too, all those tags are intended for is to display each theme correctly.

The question I posed was simple: what dictates the category to the main loop?

Somewhere, in the main loop, a category is assigned to the loop itself. When I first asked the question I didn’t know what caused the particular category to be selected, I’ve now figured that part out. It appears that the decision is made based on the latest post, I found this out recently when I posted something in a category different then the Subspace category, the loop then was using the main theme. Anyways, when I have time to troubleshoot it and resolve it I’m going to post here.

Hey Moshu, thanks for responding again, I am using conditional tags in the header and all over the place actually. I just now determined that the main loop takes the category of the latest post automatically, I was thinking that’s an optional selection logic.

Can someone point me to the code which decides this? Now that I know what it is maybe I can find it for myself, I’ll post here when I get some time to look through it.

Still no resolution to this?

Can someone please give a quick answer which is simple to understand? Thanks!

Like yes: the category with the most posts is the one used by the main loop.

A possible hit of where in the code to look for this would be even better, thanks.

alphaoide,
I’ve read through a bunch of that, I tried to find an answer there but nothing jumps out. I might have an answer through. I have the Subspace category selected as my default post category, could that be the reason why this category is being used by the main site?
