Hi,

I can confirm that on our site commenting and “Convert emoticons like ?? and ?? to graphics on display” was enabled. So theoretically Akismet could have been the culprit.

EDIT: Sorry, Akismet was disabled. So Akismet WAS NOT the culprit. ??

Hi Matt,

thanks for your quick reply!

Yes, I’m sure /wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfDict.php was affected as well, since in our debug.log there’s huge amount of error messages like that, each referring to different php files. So it’s the hacker code which is causing the error message in the first place. I’m sorry I don’t have the affected file anymore, since I cleaned the whole site.

I forgot to mention one plugin which was also installed: WP Retina 2x. That was not activated though.

Here’s more detailed timeline if it helps:
– Sat 10.10. at 12:11: I receive an email from WordFence that someone signed in with the username “backup”. Before that there was no such username. (I didn’t check my email on saturday which I regret…)
– Sat 10.10. at 15:48: Wordfence reports that the username “backup” signs in for the second time.
– Sat 10.10. at 16:00: Wordfence completes the scan. Everything’s ok.
– Sat 10.10. at 17:32: First error in our debug.log (debug happens to be on, accidentally). This is caused by the code which the hacker has added in almost every wordpress php file. It looks like this “Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in …/wp-content/…*filename*.php on line 1”
– Sun 11.10. at 01:06: Wordfence starts to scan, but stops with the error message “Scan terminated with error: We received an empty data response from the Wordfence scanning servers when calling the ‘is_safe_file’ function”.
– Sun 11.10. I realize that the site has been hacked and find the code in almost every php file. In addition to this, I find a new folder in wp-content/upgrade/, named “small.jpg”. It’s empty.

That sounds awesome, I will certainly think about it! ??

Hi! I’m glad you like my theme!

I checked it and it seems the feature is not compatibe with the latest WordPress upgrade. I will fix it in the next update (asap). Until then, here’s a quick fix:

Go to Apperance > Editor. The style.css file should be open there by default. Look for these lines under /* General Layout */:

header#main-header h1:before {
	content: "0B6";
}

Remove the line “content: “0B6”;”. That should do the trick. I hope this helps and is not too troublesome for you!

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. How did you solve this?

Hi,

sorry for very late reply. I couldn’t reproduce this. Which ie version did you use when you tested this? I can see you have already changed the theme on your site, but if there really was a problem I’d be happy to sort it out.

I’m glad you got it sorted out! ??

This problem has been fixed in Runo Premium and will be fixed in the next version on Runo Lite as well.

Hi rivqa,
could you give me the link to your site so that I can see the problem?

Hi,

sorry for your troubles and my slow response! I’ve been traveling for two weeks.

I cannot reproduce the problem. You could try to upload the zip package using some FTP program, for example Filezilla of Cyberduck.

I also sent you the zip file again by email, just in case the zip package you got is somehow broken.

You could add something like this to your style.css:

article a, article a:link {
    color: red;
}

article a:hover {
    color: blue;
}

Hi,
1) you have to remove this from style.css:

header#main-header h1:before {
content: “0B6”;
}

2) add this to your style.css:

.home article h1 {
display: none;
}

I’m glad you like it! ??

Hi,

when using WP it’s important to understand the difference between “posts” and “pages”. Posts are blog posts (or news for example), pages are static content.

If you don’t want to use WP as a blog, “pages” work better for you. Here’s how you create a static Home page:

1. Add a new page and write your “About” text there.

2. Go to Settings > Reading and select the page you just created as your home page.

3. that’s it!

I know this probably comes too late for you, but I have made a theme especially for poets and writers. More information here: https://runo.lala.fi/ ??

Aha! I solved mine: I hade typed “Only in premium version:” in the description and the system thinks that this is where the version number should be. I simply used other words and now it passed the scanning. ??
