A friend and I put that site together a few years ago, just to do some study on how to use google ranking. It was actually doing quite well. Recently, we haven't really messed with it, but I still check the analytics, and they have severely dropped.
I went to visit the site tonight, and it loads for a split second, and then redirects me to a completely different site.
Can anyone explain what is causing this? And also, explain how I can stop this?
thanks.
Looks like your website hacked.
First of all, please change all passwords. Then remove twitter fan box plugin (because script of this plugin is causing redirect)
Then you can check this resource: https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked

Let me start by saying I am not really a full-stack developer and this is out of my scope of understanding. I have tried searching for an answer but I can't find anything relevant. If you have any reasons to share they would be much appreciated!
I am working on a website running on coldfusion and framework one. I've been instructed to make a single specific page accessible without authentication. I know this might seem like a bad idea, security wise I have no idea how dangerous this really is but it doesn't seem great. Regardless, those are my instructions.
Where would I even do something like this? Is there some sort of "authenticator" action that I can disable? When visiting a page on the domain while logged out the user is just redirected to the initial login page. Perhaps I can disable this redirect? I've looked in the relevant controller and view pages for the area of the site I'm working on but I can't find anything and it's hard for me to google without much knowledge on the topic to begin with. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Since you state that you don't have experience with ColdFusion this answer is kept simple and does not try to explain how ColdFusion applications work or what an Application scope is in ColdFusion.
create a sub-folder within your original application folder
create your non-secure page within this new sub-folder
create another page under the same sub-folder named Application.cfm with the following code (it's just a comment, it's an empty page but it will prevent the code that re-directs to login to execute)
code for Application.cfm
<!--- // this folder is not secure --->
If this does not work for you because you need access to stuff that is part of the secured application, let me know and I'll update my answer but will get a bit more complex like you'll need to find out where the redirection to login takes place and you'll need to understand what you're doing in ColdFusion.
Quite of a newbie question here but recently our Web Developer left our (small) company and has left us in a bind.
We recently (2 days ago) redirected our site to a newer and mobile friendly model and was working well for quite some time. For whatever reasons management deemed they needed to roll back the site to its original model and the site is breaking whenever you type in http://www.example.com. However, https:// works perfectly fine, and it seems like it has something to do with the htaccess file -- but being just the project manager, coding comes second in terms of skill.
If it helps our site is www.mauriprosailing.com -- currently still trying to figure out why the "www" and "http" is breaking the site.
If needed I can post a .txt of our htaccess if that helps.
I appreciate all the help and apologize if this was too broad of a question!
Solution: Granted this may not apply to everyone -- but the problem was not within the htaccess file but with caching of the server. The server was not pulling the right the .css file therefore causing an "explosion" of our site and I found that purging all of cached files did the trick.
all! I have a Joomla site (http://wired-ar.com) that I attempted an upgrade to 1.5.26 just a while ago. The upgrade went a bit awry, and I was forced to revert to a backup copy of the site using 1.5.15. Was upgrading with the intent to then upgrade to 2.x and then the latest.
I'm new to Joomla, but I believe I've reattached all the necessary components and modules. However, I'm getting 404 errors on EVERY page. Homepage, interior pages. I'm also having some problems with my editor, as only the top-portion of the editor appears and no TinyMCE. I've re-uploaded all editor files just to be safe, but no luck.
I haven't got a clue what's going on here, and I'm all out of leads. Most other problems like this involve the home page working, and nothing else. On my end, the back end works a-okay, and no visual pages are coming through. Changing different themes does not help, nor modifying any of the SEO areas, like mod_rewrite. Disabling plugins returns no results, either.
I would love some help with this, please! Any thoughts, options, or possibilities would be great.
Try to disable SEF url from backend, and figure out from the links, which articles/comp. are assigned to the menu. (maybe languages arent set correctly - you have assigned another lang article/category for ex. to an En lang menu)
As it turns out, and this may be the case with others, if you can access the back-end and nothing else, you likely have a corrupted file tree that's missing components or modules.
In my case, the really old files on this server had very wonky permissions, which made a smooth re-upload nearly impossible. The solution was to check and double check all components, adding the missing ones where needed. Took a lot of CHMOD work, too, for me.
Hope that helps someone, if you're in a similar pickle with an old Joomla site!
My website's homepage keeps redirecting to my other website, which is odd because I didn't do anything to make that happen. I already checked index.html and it is clean. What can it be? The site I am redirected to is also my site, but of course I don't want that to happen.
I hope someone can help me out.
PS: I don't believe I am hacked, because I am referred to my site.
I am using Wordpress btw.
Alright. How odd it might be and might sound, it was Google's Adsense banners that were causing this redirection. I had set a "show banners of this site" via Adsense if there were no ads... I removed the ad from my sidebar and now it is not redirecting anymore.
Damn it.
I would write a comment but don't have the reputation to do so yet...
Just a thought: did you copy one website from the other? Could there be a link in there somewhere that wasn't changed to the location of your new website?

One of our website is now down and it looks like this. What is the cause of this?
Please HELP.
I can only speculate what the cause is since you didn't provide the link, but my guess is that your site has been compromised. Look at your code and see if there is anything out of place. For example, a tag that is below your closing tag. Someone probably injected code on your site that contains data from their site. Google sees the domain that has been marked as malware and then says that your site has malware.
Can you provide a link to the code?
Just contributing a few links that might be more useful for folks looking to troubleshoot this problem when it comes up on their server.
