I’ve tried to use this plugin and when I try to create a user I get the following:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function seoFriendlyURL() in /[path-to-zen]/plugins/filter-personal_album.php on line 84

I’ve looked at it and I’m not entirely sure why I’d be getting this error, please let me know what I can do to fix this. I’d love to try it out because it would help me out tremendously for a project that I am working on!

Btw, does this make an album that is private and only visible to the user and the admins only?

Cool. Hopefully I’ll actually get the articles in my news feed now, rather than spam keywords! If I see anything suspicious, I’ll let you know…

Thanks for the heads-up, I’ve taken care of the symptoms and upgraded WordPress, as well as locking down the permissions throughout the installation. Hopefully that will fix the issue, but I will keep an eye out.

Thanks, I will point our team member who takes care of these things to that.

It’s there in the feed _right now_ if you visit it with a fake Googlebot user-agent. Really, I think you’ve been hacked. I just did this:

curl –no-sessionid –user-agent “Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)” http://www.zenphoto.org/category/News/feed/

…and could see the spam. Without the Googlebot user-agent, it doesn’t appear.

See here: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/397/wordpress-exploit-we-been-hit-by-hidden-spam-link-injection/ for a description of how someone else got hacked with the same technique.

Thanks, we have seen this before, too. The site was not hacked to our knowledge. It seems somehow to be related to the wp cache plugin we are using since it is mostly gone with the next cache update.

The RSS feed for this article is showing a load of Phentermine advertising and God alone knows what else. This has happened before on this feed — I’m still wondering if the site’s been hacked.
