I have activated a Two Factor Authentication sing in method called "Clef" on my WordPress based site. It turns out they have shut "Clef" down on July 2017.
The problem is that when I want to sign in to my WordPress dashboard, I get a "loading clef login" page and nothing happens.
How can I remove it?
As promised, here are the steps you could take:
Option A:
Download FileZilla
Log in, using the Login Credentials supplied by your Registrar/Hosting Provide
Go to: /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins
If /httpsdocs/ is not there, simply head to /wp-content/plugins
Find the name of your Plugin (Presumably 'Clef') and simply delete the Folder.
Option B:
I am not sure who is providing your Domain/Hosting but you can always login via your Domain/Hosting Control Panel and delete the Folder from the Web files, that way.
If I were you, stick to Option A. Not only is it the most universal but something I would advise getting an understanding for, since you could use FileZilla to backup your Web Files in the future.
Any problems, drop me a Comment and I will help you along the way, if needs.
The easiest (and possibly the only) way will be going to the FTP server, going to wp-content/plugins/ directory and removing clef directory (or whatever is the name of this plugins directory name).
WordPress will disable this plugin automatically, if it doesn't exist anymore.

I have a problem with my website, I get information from wordfence about my WordPress website getting hacked
enter image description here add found a code eval($_SERVER['HTTP_81DB2B3'] so i removed it but in a few second the code going back. someone, please help me
I had something very similar to this. Go to your cPanel and search for "Cron Jobs" and scroll down to see if there's any malicious cronjobs setup. You might have some that look like eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(.... that are essentially causing this to reoccur. Not a complete fix to this issue, but you'll have to delete those cronjobs to ensure that that line of code doesn't keep reappearing. In addition to that, you'll also need to make sure those cronjobs don't show up again. Use a plugin like Wordfence (suggested above as well) to look for malicious files and if it helps replace your home directory (except for wp-content and wp-config) with fresh files.
If your website got hacked then I guess more than 1 file was affected by it,
case-1: If you are able to access the Wordpress Backend In this case, if you are able to access the Wordpress backend then I suggest you
Step-1: Add one plugin called (Wordfence Security – Firewall & Malware Scan
) and scan your website with it.
Step-2: After scanning the site remove all suspicious code from the site.
Case 2: If you are not able to access the Wordpress backend then you have to update your Wordpress manually with the hosting file manager or FTP.
Please Note: Please take a backup of your website before do any changes.
I am working in a WordPress project that for some reason the plugins disappeared, the data still exits but neither the project owner or me know what plugins were installed. For example I knew contact form 7 was installed because it showed me [contact-form-7 id="424"] in the page, I installed it and I can see the plugin now
there are other plugins for user authentication, permissions, etc. But how could I know which were installed?
there are no plugins in the plugins page so I need to check in the db or anywhere else.
First of all, I would try and determine why all the plugins aren't showing up (perhaps the /wp-content/plugins/ folder got renamed? It's a common way to quickly disable all plugins for diagnostics)
Beyond that, if you go to your wp_options table, there is a an option called active_plugins that contains a serialized array of the active plugin files that looks like:
a:13:{i:0;s:29:"gravityforms/gravityforms.php";i:1;s:19:"akismet/akismet.php"; … }
It sounds like your database is fine, consider page content is unaffected, so this should suffice in getting you a list of active plugins, provided they haven't been registered as inactive due to the plugin files not being found - if so you'll probably want to dig through a database backup from when it was working (and if you have a "Full Backup" you may even be able to restore the plugin files from there)
Note: Serialized arrays can be a pain to read, you can either dump the unserialized value in your own script, or use an online tool like this or this to get a more readable format.
I've been asked to help out with a former colleague of mine's Wordpress Site. Nothing crazy, just change the format of a page, and add some kind of form on another page. I'm not so concerned with these changes I need to make, but am more concerned with setting up an identical site locally so that I can exercise these changes, do whatever I need to do, then simply upload my changes.
Quick background of myself; web developer of about 5 years with strengths in the Javascript frameworks and Node sphere. I know what Wordpress is and can navigate through the project with relative ease. Where I fall short is uncertainty in the project set up side of things.
So I have both the project itself and an export of my clients database, and configuration is updated accordingly. When I attempt to run the site I'm constantly prompted with errors, most of which have me take a look at the code and see what exactly the problem is. At this point I've made quite a few adjustments to the site to try and make it work that I feel continuing development won't get me anywhere.
Is duplicating an existing site to a local env usually this difficult? Could bad implementation of the initial site by the previous developer be a reason why I'm now struggling? Am I missing a step?
Duplicating a WordPress website is not that difficult. If you have the wp admin login of your website then you can simply use duplicator or akeeba backup plugin, but no worries, if you do not have the wp login access and just have the wp files & db then try this: create a new db from phpmyadmin, place your files in wp theme directory, install your new wp by using your new db file created, after that import your db file and do the following changes in your wp config file found in your root directory.
You will need to type in the new database information: database name, database user, and the password.
Once you have updated those, click Save Changes
Fixing your Permalinks
Log into your WordPress Dashboard, using the username and password from the copy of WordPress you brought over
Under Settings, click Permalinks
You don't have to make any actual changes, just click the Save Changes button.
Doing this will update all the page and post URLs. If you have custom themes or plugins/widgets with old URLs, you will have to update those manually since there are not any plugins that are able to modify those as well.

I am having some problems with Wordpress 3.7. I think they may be related and have something to do with a file ownership/rights issue but I am completely stuck.
I am using the default theme and I have uploaded a new header image
several times through the WP admin interface. Now that I am happy
with the image, I want to delete the old images. Firebug tells me
they are in [my wp root]/wp-content/uploads/2014/01. However, in my
FTP client, this directory is not visible. I only see [my wp
root]/wp-content/uploads/2013
.
When I log into the Wordpress admin interface, it tells me I should upgrade to 3.8. When I tell it to go ahead and give it my FTP credentials, it begins but gets stuck at "Verifying the unpacked files…". I get no error messages and when I give up and leave the page, there are no reports about a failed update. It just keeps showing me the "please update" message.
I am using the default theme and want to change style.css. I cannot do this in the theme editor, it tells me I have to make the file writable first, even after I give all the theme files 777 access in my FTP client (which probably is not a good idea). If I edit the file offline instead and then upload it via FTP, this doesn't have any effect. I can even delete the entire file and still nothing changes at the frontend.
I have tried to create a child theme through the FTP client but it does not show up in the WP backend.
The site is on a shared hosting platform. I can't find the details at the moment but it's a fairly regular setup (Linux, Apache, MySQL). I am testing in Firefox and caching is turned off. If I log out, and log back in again: same problems.
It is almost as if I am FTP-ing the wrong computer but I am really not. What am I missing?
Problem solved. I finally asked my hosting provider and as it turns out they had adjusted a few settings, making them too restrictive.
I have installed wordpress on a domain and I'm gonna add a second language so I've also installed another wordpress in a subdirectory. Now it's located in:
mysite.com/en/wordpress
but i need it to be
mysite.com/en
For the first installation i followed this guide:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
But it seems like it doesn't work with multisites.... So do I fix this?
No it's no problem to change it. A few steps to follow.
Go into your WordPress admin panel and update the site url and blog url to point to your new location. Then click save.
Rename the folder from wordpress to en
Finally you may have some problems with images, if so you will need to replace the old urls in your database. Personally I would import the database, run a find and replace and then re-import the sql script.
Here is another solution though that runs a query on the database and will also work. http://www.master-script.com/moving-wordpress-site-to-new-domain.html
Note if you are going to run the find and replace on the database anyway the first step is irrelevant as it will be changed also.
