02 Dec: Emergency Support Story: BFD Real Estate Website

Today’s story is a common case for us to see here at Total WP Support. And, unfortunately, completely preventable! Building Family Dreams Real Estate is a real estate agency in Georgia, USA. http://buildingfamilydreams.com/ They came to us after their website was hacked and infected with malware. Not only was their website now blacklisted with Google, but it was also completely broken. Every page was effected, all the widgets were removed, the template files were all infected with literally thousands of malware pages. It was as bad as it gets!

12 Sep: WordPress Security Update with Version 4.6.1

Close on the heels of WordPress 4.6 comes a quick update to fix two new security issues. Version 4.6.1 is a security release for all previous versions and we updated all our WordPress Maintenance Plan client websites immediately. WordPress versions 4.6 and earlier are affected by two security issues: a cross-site scripting vulnerability via image filename; and a path traversal vulnerability in the upgrade package uploader.

09 Dec: WordPress Maintenance Plan Websites Updated – December 9th 2015

This month we’ve seen the release of WordPress 4.4 “Clifford” so it’s been a big month for the evolution for WordPress, and of course the resulting wave of Theme, Plugin and Framework updates that follow. As we all know by now, the first of each month is our official update day where we update all our client websites software and do some general housekeeping to keep those websites running fast and secure. However, this month, we pushed that back to the 9th to coincide with the latest release of WordPress.
