Recommended Posts

I don't understand what is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm the only one with acces to the admin, but for some reason there is a part in my page title that is not mine. Did anyone had something similar.

 

Behind the titel I put in, there is now also the following text (the part that is Bold)

 

14K White Gold 0.32ctw Emerald 0.17ctw Diamond Earrings - Wholesale Candy for Retail Customers

 

Is my site being hacked or is there something else happening?

You are on a shared host and probably have your cache in a shared directory. Either turn the cache off or set it to a non-shared directory below your web root.

 

thanks I will look into that right now, but is it possible that that only happens with the product info page?

Which meta tags contribution are you using?

 

Depending on which one, go in and check the setting in the corrosponding file, eighter in the includes/ directory or in the includes/languages/english/ directory.

I'm using contrib headertags and ultimate urls. I also checked in the admin to check my cache and it looks like this:

 

Cache 

Title  Value  Action

Use Cache  false 

Cache Directory  /tmp/  Info

 

Is this correct, or do I need to change it?

I checked the headertags file, and only the titel as how I have put it in, is there. And also this happens only with my english part of my site not with the dutch part

Yup.. I was having the same problem - It was the cacheing.

 

I turned off caching, and I'm not sure of the absolute path I need to put in to point to a new temp dir. I use 1and1, and the cache dir was set to /tmp/

 

What's the disadvantages of turning off caching? Speed? I won't have a ton of traffic..

Then you should also do a check of your english.php file.

And do rember to check this one which is different for dutch and english.

 

 

includes/languages/english/header_tags.php

 

you can also compare it to the one which is in:

 

includes/languages/dutch/header_tags.php

I checked all the pages as you suggested but I cannot find anything strange!! If it is a cache problem is it possible that is is only with the product info page?

Since your cache is set to false , and this line "Wholesale Candy for Retail Customers" is not found in any of the suggested files, its hard to say without having more info about your spesific setup.

 

I did notice that you are using the STS template system, which might make the process of finding the culprint a little more complex.

 

Most likely its getting this line "Wholesale Candy for Retail Customers" from som realated file eighter to the header tags contribution or the STS.

 

In Dutch it is fetching the correct one "Jewelry Trends" .

 

Check your database entries for the header tags contribution and all the related files to try to locate the sinner......

 

Or maybe there already are someone using STS and Header Tags out there who have a solution?

 

And try to pinpoint when this did occur, what was the last change you did just before this happened?
