I have a very strange problem with a wordpress site I made for a friend of mine. I knew about the last WP bug fixed with version 4.2.2 , so I decided to update WP. As usual I made a backup with the plugin I usually use (its name is duplicator), then upgraded and I decided to also uninstall some deactivated plugins and to install "all in one seo pack". After all this operations I noticed that below all articles there is a "404" text and I really can't understand where the hell it comes from. So I thought that I made something wrong and restored the backup to a new location to see how the site was looking at the moment I made the backup and also in the new install I can see this "404" text. Does anybody ever had a similar problem? I really can't understand what's causing this issue. Attached you will find a, example screenshot, but that identical situation happens for all articles (BUT NOT FOR PAGES).
Thank you for your help
Just some minute after asking the question on SO, I found the problem: I decided to investigate the theme's pages in the editor and I found that the page "comments.php" was composed just from the text 404, as shown in the attached screenshot. Now the question is: how can it be possible? Could that mean that my site was hacked due to the wordpress bug resolved with the 4.2.2 version?

I am new to the Wordpress thing. I am trying to embed (use iframe src=) with shinyApps on our lab website but the error msg
"The backup of this post in browser is different from the version below"
pops up every time I am updating the code. Then I would lose the code. I am not sure how to solve this problem and there aren't actually solution out there online.
Greatly appreciate if you happen to know the solutions to this.

If this is shown every time you are trying to update the code on your Wordpress site (it doesn't matter which code) then it usually has to do something with a slight cookie corruption in your browser. This used to be a bug in one of the Firefox versions too, not a long ago.
Do try to do the same thing in a different browser or even a different computer.
this is I think a really unusual case. A little backstory, I outsourced a PSD to WP project a few months ago, but not currently working with the developer anymore as he stopped replying to my support questions. I'm trying to solve this on my own before I give this to the client, as I have no more budget to hire another developer.
I have two problems, first is I couldn't access the WP dashboard even though my login is an admin account. Been trying to solve this through numerous google searches and blog posts but to no avail, I couldn't fix it.
Here goes my main problem: So I finally found a way how to update the content on the site using the phpMyAdmin backend database. (good thing I know HTML CSS)
I managed to update the content, but when I tested the site using incognito window and other profiles / browsers, the changes from phpMyAdmin does not reflect on the site. I tried logging in, and weirdly, the changes are there. I log out, changes are there.
I just find it really weird and a hassle that I have to log in to see those changes. It's a client facing site, and the changes are really important so I hope someone has experienced this before and can help me out. Thanks in advance.
I am running one of my client's websites on DotNetNuke 6.2. Yesterday I noticed that the menu links for the website appear to have been hacked.
So when I click on a link which is supposed to go to: www.wossname.com/search.aspx
It instead takes me to: http://www.wossname.comlley.com.auomnern.edumd400b40cn/Search.aspx
So basically I think that someone has hacked the URL generation bit of DNN and added some malicious code to our DNN installation. I am aware that I should upgrade to the latest version of DNN but I am looking for a short term fix to keep the site running in the interim.
Is their any solution to this?
Sorry about asking an off topic question. I was under the impression that it would be a scripting issue and would be related to code. Anyway I just happened to check the database and noticed that multiple aliases are being created. So if you are having a similar problem simply delete those aliases and you should get the site running in the interim. Of course do update your version of DNN ASAP!
All my WP sites ran perfectly fast until they got automatically updated to 4.0.1, now they each take approximately 3 minutes to load any page, even in admin. I am using different hostings on those pages, so it's not server related.

Do you please have any ideas what might be causing the problem or what should I try to do? I tried rolling back to 4.0 but the slowness stays. I'm getting desperate.
I was facing the same problem, i guess you are using the same template on your all sites. I recommend to change your theme to Twenty Fourteen.
In my case I narrowed the issue down to the options table of the WordPress database. I'm not entirely sure which rogue option caused the issue after updating to 4.0.1 but something was choking it up pretty badly as every page request was taking 2-3min to load both on front and backend.
I've replaced the options table with a fresh one and the problem was gone. The issue was resolved easily in my case as the website was fairly simple, however, if yours has numerous option values then your only hope it so dissect the table to find what could be choking it.
I am trying to work on Wordpress website that hasn't been updated in quite some time. All the sudden there are some weird issues:
• The footer is not linking
• The contact forms are no longer linking
• Half the layout is missing on some pages
Nothing has been changed on this site. No plugins have been updated... nothing.
I've been looking through the coding, and I can't seem to find what's going wrong or why the contact forms have stopped working.
The website is Marshcreek.com
Please help!
If you have a backup, run a file comparison between the current copy and the backup. My files have been purged in the past through unfortunate maintenance routines.
I would recommend speaking with your Host and ask them if they have upgraded / changed anything on the server?
I have however noticed the following, the first image is the HTML from the index
And this is the HTML from the Memberships page?
at the bottom there is 4 <div style="clear:both"></div>? Is this how it should be because this may explain where the footer has gone in this example!
Also if you have any backups of the site you may wish to take a look at them as they may help recover some of the structure
