At least one of your “responses” seems to have been done by a robot. I got the same wording on my WordPress blog (“I found your site via google thanks for the post. I will save it for future reference.”). Several others look suspicious, too, just generic praise and thanks. Do you intentionally leave these in? Is there a way to stop them, other than by telling WordPress that it is a spam, and thus keeping it off the blog? Try Googling this response to your blog: “Nice brief and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you seeking your information.” See how often it appears!

Hi Dev,

It was this but after removing it nothing worked.

1 #Protect the .htaccess File
2
3 order allow,deny
4 deny from all
5

The 1-5 numbers I did’nt use but the rest I did use.
K

It may be it was’nt the script because according to my host my sites had been compromised, he sent that this afternoon.

It should have been ok taking out and saving the script but I could’nt get logged in to cpanel either.

I have always been worried about adding to the files now its even more worrying for me lol

I’m sure ages ago I got a stop robots from you and all was fine then.

Don’t worry Dev.

Delete my last two posts please under normal circumstances your stuff probably works fine, I believe it was at this end where the problem lay.

Hi,

I did not think we were to put in like this (123 etc)

1 #Protect the .htaccess File
2
3 order allow,deny
4 deny from all
5

So I omitted the numbers at the left side. Its broke my site. Now I can login but nothing else.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<' in /home/newdream/public_html/spotlightonsarawak/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 129

I removed it but now I will have to put in a request to my host because its still broke.

No worries, we'll get this fixed DevMoose.

WordPress by the way.

The first hack won`t work. You are blocking .gif images so stop_stealing_bandwidth.gif will be blocked as well
