Oh… sorry about that. It must have been something temporary as I didn’t do any fix and just checked – it opens now 8:43 am Denver Friday 1-28-2016 Afterthought – you’re not using a proxy are you?… security is set for that.

Important – be sure to check box for SubHeading in screen options above admin post edit screen !

erased all content associated with additional task list and it went away – hurrah!

How does one remove a task list created in error?

Error resolved by reinstalling WordPress 3.4.1
I want to sincerely thank anevins for his gracious time and effort in resolving my error.

This site has an extraordinary history of malicious attacks/hacks and there is always a new zeroday angle even though it has been hardened with every conceivable twist.

the top line is 1341…
I added a bracket at last line as suggested and that created error message for that line – Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /vvvv/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/wp-includes/media.php on line 1362

Original error message for line 1341 (Top line) –
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /xxxx/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1341

You guys are tops! Thanks for the reply. We all know it was not intentional and you have made up for it and more…
Response exceeded expectations and the end result was a case book example of what customer service should be, and was.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hats off to website defender for a superb plugin, with equally good customer service… can you tell I think this is one of the better plugins available for WordPress?

It’s a must-have tool to keep your blog or CMS site safe from the miserable hackers with nothing better to do than waste their lives away in self-pity.

Resolved luckily by updating to WP 3.1. Tried restore of DB – didn’t work! Dodged the bullet on this one!

Backup restored the wp_options table. Back to normal again.

What actually may have happened – you like most broadband users are on dynamic DHCP ip address allocation which changes periodically after 1-3 days depending upon your ISP ‘ip lease period’ provided to you… your computer’s ip address on the internet CHANGES, and if your htaccess file within your wp-admin folder has allowed ‘permission’ only from certain ‘designated ip’ address(es) which now could be different than your just RECENTLY changed NEW dhcp dynamic IP address for your computer – bingo!!!… all your folders in your open ftp window go blank and your computer screen currently open to the WordPress dashboard all of the sudden broadcast error messages!

This is exactly what happened to me while working in the opened WordPress dashboard doing some updates etc. My computer’s internet ip address changed while WordPress dashboard was open.

So… first you check your current computer dhcp dynamic ip address (if you have a static ip address – then this is NOT the problem nor the following the fix) –
https://what ismyip.com and then ftp in and check your htaccess file within your wp-admin folder for the ip address match.

If the ip addresses do NOT match – update your htccess file with the current ip address you just acquired from whatismyip.com, save the NEW ip changes in your htaccess file and you should be good to go for the next 1-3 days etc.

If you do NOT understand what this all means – by all means contact your web host and let them make the changes. Otherwise this is a 5-10 minute change depending upon how efficient you work, and it is a very small price to pay for the added security it provides from prying eyes or a webbot trying to unload malicious script or trying to hack your site and cost you much more grief and down time than the mere 5 minutes the above procedure takes.

Google ‘WordPress security’ and learn to understand the NEW security measures taking place NOW – as the hackers are attacking WordPress fast and furiously, and unless you button down your WordPress site – it’s NOT if, but WHEN your WordPress site will be hacked and brought down… or even worse.

It’s getting bad out there and the fun is lost fast from a serious hack – so backup your WordPress database NOW, as well as backup your clean hack-free wp-content folder, BEFORE disaster strikes !!!

Happy secure WordPress blogging!!!

The modification that fixed my widgets problem was found in the dashboard ‘screen options’ button found at the top of dashboard menu and just under the header.

The screen options button only shows when there is a problem in which there is an option to fix it with.

When there are no problems or no fixes the button just disappears.

I clicked the visible ‘screen options’ button which expanded the screen right under the header – and presto there was the widget control fix.

OK – the culprit was WP-Events Calendar plugin. Once the WP-Events Calendar plugin was deactivated the images problem disappeared.

I have similar widget page ‘frozen’ issue where you can’t drag the widgets on the widgets setup page but, found a fix on the Internet 2-3 months ago that was in the form of a plugin or a config mod that fixed it.

I am configuring a new install with approx 90 plugins installed and 15-20 widgets using plugin central.

I have read the standard uninstall one-by-one to find problem – but that literally kills any time saved using plugin central in which I draw from a core list of plugins that I utilize on each site.

This is maybe my 20th WordPress site – I am a web developer.

Any ideas anyone? This problem is on WordPress version 2.9.1
