You will have to use the HTML editor for the page. If you look at this page on my blog, you will see a picture of a cassette tape on the left top side.

If I edit this page in the HTML editor, this is the line of code that affects that image:

<img class="size-medium wp-image-255" title="sony_ef60_071201" src="http://blog.kjodle.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sony_ef60_071201-300x190.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="190" />

You can add styling elements to the img tag by using the style tage, like this:

style="border: solid 10px blue;"

Put it together, and the entire thing looks like this:

<img class="size-medium wp-image-255" title="sony_ef60_071201" src="http://blog.kjodle.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sony_ef60_071201-300x190.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="190" style="border: solid 10px blue;" />

Which adds a heavy blue border, like this. You would probably want to use style="border:none".

You really need to know what a child theme is. Here is information from this forum, and here is some information from the WordPress Codex.

This will help you out immensely, believe me.

The easiest way may be to make your current installation of graphene into a child theme, and then install a clean copy of Graphene. Rename the “graphene” folder in the “themes” folder to “graphene-child” (or whatever you wish), make the appropriate changes to the styles.css file, and then install a clean copy of graphene.

Of course, you will end up with copies of all the original theme files, but if you have made modifications you have forgotten about, you won’t lose any of them. However, when a new update of Graphene becomes available, you may not have all of its new functionality available to you, because they are being overridden by your child theme.

If you have only made a few modifications, and you are sure that you can remember them, then just create a new folder called “graphene-child” (or whatever you wish), and copy over those files that you have changed. You can then copy over a fresh copy of Graphene into the original “graphene” folder, or wait for a new update.

You will want to do this using an FTP client.

FYI:

As I say, it might just be a coincidence, but the only thing I did to the site on Friday was to upgrade the Graphene theme, which, by the way, is a third party.

First party: your webhosting service (and software they provide; usually: Apache, MYSQL, PHP, etc.)

Second party: you (and your knowledge, talents, and abilities)

Third party: whatever software you install that is not provided by your webhost (i.e., WordPress, etc.)

But the theme is only part of the codes that make up your site, and a small part at that. Your site could have been compromised in a myriad of ways, including those that do not involve vulnerabilities in the codes at all. This can include improper server configuration, sharing of server resources, etc.

I am working on an article about this.

Here is your answer:

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Next steps:

Return to the previous page.

If you are the owner of this web site, you can request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools. More information about the review process is available in Google’s Webmaster Help Center.

I would contact Google for more specifics ASAP.

Maybe a bit off topic: I only get the Google message when using Firefox (not when using Internet Explorer)

Yet another reason not to use IE!

I do want a second opinion on this one, but reinstalling WordPress and the theme and also changing all your passwords (just to be safe) seems a logical next step?

This seems a bit like overkill to me, but I have never had this problem on any of my blogs. I also don’t use any SEO plugins, either, however. So if deleting plugins and then contacting Google doesn’t work, this may very well be necessary. Be sure to do a backup of your database so you don’t lose your posts.

That said, if the plugin in question inserts code into your database, all of this may not help!

BTW, the “WordPress SEO Plugin” constantly sends comment spam to my blogs; I wonder what it would do if I actually installed it! Be cautious when using this plugin!

For what it’s worth, I’m working on an article about SEO.

Graphene is not malware.

If you read why Google has flagged your site, two things stick out in my mind:

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

A lot of people use SEO plugins, because they think this will enable them to make a lot of money quickly. Unfortunately, a lot of SEO plugins promote themselves much more than they promote you. Check your plugins and see what they are installing. (Hint: Don’t use the Dashboard. Use “View Source” when you are viewing your page to see the actual HTML that is being generated.)

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 3 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2011-08-22, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2011-08-22.

Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including kartfhffda.zapto.org/.

[Listed as code in order to prevent linking.]

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS30568 (VCS).

Do you have any links to this site, or any plugins that link to this site?

Again, this is not a theme issue, but a lot of people who use this theme also use SEO plugins, which, IMHO, are useless at best and malicious at worst. Let us know what you find out.

In reply to: Custom Slider for Each Page

#16426

With a child theme, almost anything is possible. Typically, the slider only shows up on the front/main/index page.

First of all, read the rules and include a link to your page.

Second, which pages, which posts? (You do understand the difference between posts and pages, right?)

Welcome aboard,

I also created a few backgrounds. You can see them at http://gallery.kjodle.net/index.php?/category/web_backgrounds. I am using “brushed silver fine” at my personal blog.

I’m thinking that the “fleck” backgrounds might be good for the main background (which appears on the right and left), or even under the content, although it might be a bit busy there. If you use one of these, let me know. I’m keen to see how other people use them.

Can I ask if there is text or code I can check in my c-panel folder files or sql or php or something somewhere?

Your wordpress files are located in

http://everydayshare.com/blog

and your theme files are located in

http://everydayshare.com/blog/wp-content/themes/graphene/

The “themes” folder is where you would create a child theme folder.
