hey, it turns out it is some kind of bad code that got into the wp-includes nav-menu.php file. They say the code might not be limited only to that file. The host has shut down the site!!!! (www.tellasia.org) Until we get it cleaned! HELP… what is there to do? Can I delete and reinstall X theme? My oldest backup via Dropbox Backup is 6-22, not sure that will get back to before the code getting installed. I think it might have happened months ago when gave a freelancer in India access to the site…

Hi there,

If it’s something that can infect like malware or similar, then it’s advisable to start it with a fresh install. You can restore your backup, but yes, that’s too old. But, at least with the backup, you can start ahead instead with an empty installation.

Thanks!

Hey, I just downloaded a fresh version of X and found the malicious code is already there in the fresh install! What’s the deal… base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==’ located at row 1450 of x-body, for example. Isn’t that malicious code?

Hi there,

No this is not. It’s part of call back function. The code is like this :

....

  $.fn.imagesLoaded = function( callback ) {
    var $this = this,
        $images = $this.find('img').add( $this.filter('img') ),
        len = $images.length,
        blank = 'data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==',
        loaded = [];

    function triggerCallback() {
      callback.call( $this, $images );
    }

    function imgLoaded( event ) {
      var img = event.target;
      if ( img.src !== blank && $.inArray( img, loaded ) === -1 ){
        loaded.push( img );
        if ( --len <= 0 ){
          setTimeout( triggerCallback );
          $images.unbind( '.imagesLoaded', imgLoaded );
        }
      }
    }

.....

Thanks.

ok then I guess not all “base64” occurrences are malware. I now have Sucuri cleaning the site…

Hi There,

Let us know if you need help with anything else.

ok everything clean according to Sucuri but I’m afraid of Convert Plug because if the database for any reason were to go back to 5.2, that one little plugin completly takes down my whole site. That’s pretty dangerous plugin. Is there anything else out there u recommend that i can embed for forms as well as use as a popover?

[Leanna]

ps it seems strange that such a great theme as x comes with no inbuilt forms of any kind. I didn’t realize this was an issue until recently now that i found out that plugins weigh down the site! So… all these extra plugins we have to add to get x to function slow it down. Any plans to create proper forms to go with it?

[Lely]

Hi Leanna,

X is a theme, it’s a design. Functionalities like forms are added via plugin. That is how wordpress framework works. Please check these links for discussion:

We do have email forms extension:https://community.theme.co/kb/extension-email-forms/
You can also checking Contact Form 7 plugin.

Hope this helps.
