After having the same site hacked several times, and not finding anyone with the same issue I’ve had, I decided to add it here in case it helps anyone else.

I had the following files added:

wp-content/barclays.zip
wp-content/barclays/barclays2.html
wp-content/barclays/finish.html
wp-content/barclays/locals.php
wp-content/barclays/barclays.html
wp-content/barclays/local.php

I think they were done through ‘hello.php’ which was also in the ‘wp-content’ folder, (not to be confused with Hello Dolly although it has the same name).

So in order to activate session variables within your WordPress installation the only thing you have to do is call session_start(); before any output is send to the client. Normally upgrading your WordPress installation will replace all files, so we will want to install the code within our site theme to avoid the changes from being lost.

Brilliant little snippet from Benjamin Reid http://www.nouveller.com/quick-tips/quick-tip-8-limit-the-length-of-the_excerpt-in-wordpress/

In his words…

I found this brilliantly simple article on the WordPress site: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrate-wordpress-to-another-server

Ok yall. I have been trying to migrate my wordpress website over to another
server for several hours now and finally figured everything out!

Here are the steps I took:

name = Testpilot
description = Just another WordPress blog
admin_email = admin@example

url = http://example/home
wpurl = http://example/home/wp

stylesheet_directory = http://example/home/wp/wp-content/themes/child-theme
stylesheet_url =

http://example/home/wp/wp-content/themes/child-theme/style.css

template_directory = http://example/home/wp/wp-content/themes/parent-theme
template_url = http://example/home/wp/wp-content/themes/parent-theme

atom_url = http://example/home/feed/atom
rss2_url = http://example/home/feed
rss_url = http://example/home/feed/rss
pingback_url = http://example

I found the solution here…. http://mygraphicfriend.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/unable-to-upload-files-larger-than-2mb-to-media-library-in-self-hosted-wordpress-blog/

I’m with HeartInternet and all you need to do, is create a php.ini file with the following…

post_max_size = 12M
upload_max_filesize = 12M
