I hired someone to fix the problem and this was their diagnoses:

The theme you are using has hard-coded calls to plugins inside of it (now it’s fixed and it checks if the functions are available before calling them). When you updated your PHP version, some plugins didn’t function properly, so you had to disable them which broke up the theme you are using.

Also the theme is using deprecated functions of WordPress and you will probably have to change it (the theme) soon. For the moment, these functions are still supported by WordPress/PHP but in the future they may drop support for these functions.

I would recommend not updating WordPress or PHP by yourself for the moment. The problem with not updating is security vulnerabilities. Two major vulnerabilities have been found in WordPress’ plugins like W3 Total Cache last week and in this case, an update is mandatory.

I am not opting for excerpts. It is definitely cutting off the top of the post.

The blog is still cutting off posts when you click on individual topics. It’s not fixed.

@josh, it was working with 2012 after removing all plugins.

Then I was reactivating one plug in at a time and thought I found the culprit. However, now it is hanging on to the problem and I can’t change it back, even after deactivating the plugins again.

OK, I disabled all the plugins and put the theme back to classic and the problem went away. I will activate one thing at a time and see what is messing things up.

@josh, no error or warning messages show up. How do you turn on php debugging?

Nothing, when I switch to the default theme, the same wrong stuff shows up, though the preview in the new style shows correctly.

Yep me, too. The problem is explained in detail here:

1. Re-uploaded wp-includes/vars.php from backed up copy. “Magic” authentication stopped.
2. Changed all admin passwords.
3. Upgraded site to latest version
4. Examined plugins for malicious code. Found one file infected and removed the code.
5. Backed up all files in case of next attack.

I had the same problem, uploaded the wp-includes/vars.php file, and got the site back.

I then upgraded to latest version, and removed the eval() ode from the top of one of my plugins.

Hopefully, I won’t be having any more problems from now on!

Thanks much – It’s in the /wp-includes/vars.php file. Uploading a backed-up copy fixed it.

Will upgrade.

The FAQ page is really not that helpful with this hack.

Yep – that’s exactly what’s happeneing to me. Haven’t found a solution yet
