Looking for a new custom theme.

Blogging in general

I am currently shopping for a new custom theme for this blog of mine. I am no longer satisfied with the themes I have including this one. This is my very first custom made theme and I got this for a bargain. But if you are passionate about your blogging like I am, you can surely relate to what I am feeling right now. Dissatisfied and antsy to change this theme to something else.

I am checking out some free themes from trusted sites I’ve bookmarked but it’s the same feeling of dissatisfaction. I don’t know exactly what I want for a new theme but as soon as I see it, I would know right away.

When I am feeling restless about something in my life, I divert my attention and focus on changing something else. Since I am in front of my laptop 90% of the time, I tend to focus on my blogs. It’s easier to change a blog theme than to change something big in your life. Right?

Happy Wednesday!

Finally, an update!

Blogging in general

I haven’t been updating as much for the past few days now. I will tell you the truth… I was not in the mood to write. I have a couple of topics I started to write about in my drafts but all of it are left unfinished. I will finish it in the next two days and will post it successively. So better tune in for that.

I’ve been feeling so antsy about my theme here and I know there will be a change maybe within the next day or so. Maybe I will use my old theme or I will use the default theme in WordPress and tweak it to my liking.

Or maybe I will use a new one!

I am not content with the theme anymore and I am sure I will find inspiration once the theme here gets changed.

Malware in WordPress themes

Blogging in general

Two of my blogs were branded as attack sites by Google. When I tried opening it in either Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers, a warning saying that “your computer can get a virus if you proceed to open the site” was displayed on screen. So what I did was I checked with Bluehost what caused the malware and I found out that the WordPress themes those two blogs were using had a change in codes that cause the .htaccess files of my blogs to change.

I was relying on the themes to be free of any malicious codes but it turned out that it could be a gateway for hackers to access your sites. So I am warning all of you bloggers and site owners out there to be careful with the themes you use. Do not just change themes without checking first if the theme has a loophole to it causing an “attack” to your site to take place.

Anyway, here’s what I did to my two blogs to get rid of the malware in it. Removing the themes won’t be enough. You have to uninstall and reinstall WordPress to your domain and wait for a day for the malware warning to stop showing up on browsers. Of course, before you uninstall WordPress from your domain, make sure you have a copy of your posts and comments by going to your admin page and exporting all of it via the tools section.

If you did all of it and the warning still shows up, you have to ask Google for a review of your site via Google Analytics.

If you’ve experienced a similar issue, let me know what you did and how you were able to get rid of the malware warning associated with your site.
