**Method 1:**

On your WordPress admin dashboard  
Visit ‘Plugins > Add New’  
Search for ‘RARA One Click Demo Import’ and install the plugin.  
Activate ‘RARA One Click Demo Import ’ from your Plugins page.

**Method 2:**

Download the plugin from WordPress.org repository  
On your WordPress admin dashboard, go to ‘Plugins> Add New> Upload Plugin’.  
Upload the downloaded plugin file (rara-one-click-demo-import.zip) and click ‘Install Now’  
Activate ‘Rara One Click Demo Import’ from your Plugins page.

Once the plugin is activated, you will find the actual import page in **Appearance > Rara Demo Import**

**I have activated the Rara One Click Demo Import plugin. Where can I find the plugin?**

You will find the plugin in _wp-admin -> Appearance -> Rara Demo Import_.

**Where are the demo import files and the log files saved?**

The files used in the demo import will be saved to the default WordPress uploads directory. An example of that directory would be: ../wp-content/uploads/2017/03/.

The log file will be registered in the _wp-admin -> Media_ section.

**I can’t activate the plugin because of a fatal error. What can I do?**

_Update: There is an admin error notice, stating that the minimal PHP version required for this plugin is 5.3.2._

You want to activate the plugin, but this error shows up:

_Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error_

This happens because your hosting server is using a very old version of PHP. This plugin requires PHP version of at least **5.3.x**, but we recommend version _5.6.x_. Please contact your hosting company and ask them to update the PHP version for your site.

\- Tried several times installing "tour-operator.1.2.5" after installation an extra theme showed up, uninstalled, installed again, two themes total. - Reset WP, install again, same issue. - First import proccess gave error 500. Solved, second try imported demo, but with errors. - Reset WP again, tried multiple times, none of imported anything.

Superfast damage to your site.

Error 503 every time I try to upload demo import file.

don't install this plug! this will be damage to your website and then you must restore your website!

Nice! this plugin is very helpful and easy to use

I recently downloaded the Rara Travel Theme which installed fine. Even though I had read other peoples reviews stating the import does not work. I can state it worked fine for me first time. I am running the latest version of Wordpress as of 25/07/18 with WooCommerce and so far so good no issues. I have even created a Child Theme just in case of future Theme Updates. So don't believe these 1 Star reviews. I am relatively new to Wordpress and I managed just fine. Thank You to the programmer who wrote the Theme and provided the Demo Content all for Free by the way. Really! Thank You!

CVE-2022-29451: Rara One Click Demo Import

Multiple (13x) Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in WPKube's Subscribe To Comments Reloaded plugin <= 211130 on WordPress allows attackers to clean up Log archive, download system info file, plugin system settings, plugin options settings, generate a new key, reset all options, change notifications settings, management page settings, comment form settings, manage subscriptions > mass update settings, manage subscriptions > add a new subscription, update subscription, delete Subscription.

Subscribe to Comments Reloaded is a robust plugin that enables commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of subsequent entries. The plugin includes a full-featured subscription manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts or suspend all notifications. It solves most of the issues that affect Mark Jaquith’s version, using the latest WordPress features and functionality. Plus, allows administrators to enable a double opt-in mechanism, requiring users to confirm their subscription clicking on a link they will receive via email or even One Click Unsubscribe.

**Requirements**

*   WordPress 4.0 or higher
*   PHP 5.6 or higher
*   MySQL 5.x or higher

**Main Features**

*   Easily manage and search among your subscriptions
*   Imports Mark Jaquith’s Subscribe To Comments (and its clones) data
*   Messages are fully customizable, no poEdit required (and you can use HTML!) with a Rich Text Editor – WYSIWYG
*   Disable subscriptions for specific posts
*   One Click Unsubscribe
*   Get and Download your System information for better support.

**Language Localization**

If you would like to help out translating the plugin to your language you can do so through the official WordPress plugin translation system

1.  If you are using Subscribe To Comments by Mark Jaquith, disable it (no need to uninstall it, though)
2.  Upload the entire folder and all the subfolders to your WordPress plugins’ folder. You can also use the downloaded ZIP file to upload it.
3.  Activate it
4.  Customize the Permalink value under Settings > Subscribe to Comments > Management Page > Management URL. It **must** reflect your permalinks’ structure
5.  If you don’t see the checkbox to subscribe, you will have to manually edit your template, and add <?php global $wp_subscribe_reloaded; if (isset($wp_subscribe_reloaded)){ echo $wp_subscribe_reloaded->stcr->subscribe_reloaded_show(); } ?> somewhere in your comments.php
6.  If you’re upgrading from a previous version, please **make sure to deactivate/activate** StCR.
7.  You can always install the latest development version by taking a look at this Video

**Are there any video tutorials?**

Yeah, I have uploaded a few videos for the following topics:

1.  Issues Updating StCR via WordPress Update
2.  Issues with StCR links see StCR Clickable Links
3.  Issues with empty emails or management messages? see StCR Management Message
4.  Upgrading from the latest development version see Upgrading

**Why my notifications are not in HTML format?**

Don’t worry, just go to the Options tab an set to Yes the **Enable HTML emails** option.

**How can I reset all the plugin options?**

There is a new feature called **Safely Uninstall** that allow you to delete the plugin using the WordPress plugin interface. If you have the option set to **Yes** everything but the subscriptions created by the plugin will be wipeout. So after you made sure that you have this option to **Yes** you can deactivate the plugin and the delete it. Now you have to install the plugin via WordPress or Upload the plugin zip file and activate it, after this step all your settings will be as default and your subscriptions will remain.  
There is a new feature added on the Options tab where you can reset all the settings by using only one click. You can either wipe out all the subscriptions or keep them.

**What can I do if the \*\*Safely Uninstall\*\* does not have any value?**

Just deactivate and activate the plugin and you are all set. The default value will be **Yes**.

**Aaargh! Were did all my subscriptions go?**

No panic. If you upgraded from 1.6 or earlier to 2.0+, you need to deactivate/activate StCR, in order to update the DB structure. After the version 180212 a fix was applied so that you can see all the subscriptions.

**Can I customize the layout of the management page?**

Yes, each HTML tag has a CSS class or ID that you can use to change its position or look-and-feel.

**How do I disable subscriptions for a given post?**

Add a custom field called stcr_disable_subscriptions to it, with value ‘yes’

**How do I add the management page URL to my posts?**

Use the shortcode [subscribe-url], or use the following code in your theme:  
global $wp\_subscribe\_reloaded; if (isset($wp\_subscribe\_reloaded)){ echo ‘Subscribe“;

**Can I move the subscription checkbox to another position?**

Yes! Just disable the corresponding option under Settings > Comment Form and then add the following code where you want to display the checkbox:  
stcr->subscribe\_reloaded\_show(); } ?>

**What if after update to the version 141024 I still see plain HTML messages?**

The information of your configuration needs to be updated. Go to the Subscribe to Comments Reloaded settings and click the Save Changes button on the tab  
where you have you messages with HTML.

**How to generate a new Key for my Site?**

Just go to the Options Panel and click the generate button. By generating a new key you prevent the spam bots to steal your links.

People from my website, who made subscription for comments, said that in e-mail they get the IP of user, who left the comment. I\`m going to find another plugin.

I have the v.210315 I translated it into Italian 100% with Loco translated, but I noticed that in the plugin there are still many entries in English.

Just installed this as an alternative to setting up a forum, which seemed too much like hard work! Love it so far, very easy to set up and I like the fact that every item has a "?" so you can find out what it means before setting it.

Believe me guys, I tried all the plugins out there available for comment subscription and this is the only plugin that is robust, reliable and with continuous support from the author for a very long time. And guess what it's completely free. Thanks a lot for this wonderful plugin. All the best for your great success.

A fabulous plugin that helps people to stay engaged with the posts they appreciate much. Thank you!

If I had written design specs for a plugin and commissioned someone to write it, the result would not have been as good as this plugin is. Setting up this plugin it quickly becomes apparent that a lot of real-world experience has been incorporated into it over the years. The end result is, that it works like a dream and totally exceeds my expectations. Thanks so much!

CVE-2022-29414: Subscribe To Comments Reloaded

Plus: Microsoft patched some 100 flaws, while Oracle issued more than 500 security fixes.

To find the update, you’ll need to check your device settings. Devices that have received the Android April update so far include Google’s Pixel devices and some third-party Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, A51, A52 5G, A53 5G, A71, S10 series, S20 series, Note20 series, Z Flip 5G, Z Flip3, Z Fold, Z Fold2, and the Z Fold3, as well as the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.

Google Chrome Emergency Updates

As the world’s biggest browser with over 3 billion users, it’s no surprise attackers are targeting Google Chrome. Browser-based attacks are particularly worrying because they can potentially be chained together with other vulnerabilities and used to take over your device.

It has been a particularly busy month for the team behind Google’s Chrome browser, which has seen several security updates within weeks of each other. The latest, pushed out in mid-April, fixes two issues including a high-severity zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2022-1364, which is already being used by attackers.

The technical details aren’t currently available, but the timing of the fix—just a day after it was reported—indicates it’s pretty serious. If you use Chrome, your browser should now be on version 100.0.4896.127 to include the fix. You’ll need to restart Chrome after the update has installed to ensure it activates.

The Chrome issue also impacts other Chromium-based browsers, including Brave, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi, so if you use one of those, make sure you apply the patch.

But that’s not all. On April 27, Google announced another Chrome update, fixing 30 security vulnerabilities. None of these have been exploited yet, the company says, but seven are rated as being a high risk. The update takes the browser to version 101.0.4951.41.

Oracle’s April 2022 Critical Patch Update

In mid-April, Oracle released its quarterly Critical Patch Update, including a whopping 520 security fixes. Some of the issues fixed in the update are serious—300 of them can be exploited remotely without authentication, and 75 security issues are rated as critical severity. Some of the Oracle patches address CVE-2022-22965, aka Spring4Shell, a remote code execution (RCE) flaw in the spring framework.

Microsoft’s Busy April Patch Tuesday

Microsoft had a major Patch Tuesday in April, issuing fixes for over 100 vulnerabilities, including 10 critical RCE flaws. One of the most important, CVE-2022-24521, is already being exploited by attackers, according to the company.

Reported by the NSA and researchers at CrowdStrike, the issue in the Windows Common Log File system driver doesn’t require human interaction to be exploited and can be used to obtain administrative privileges on a logged-in system. Other notable fixes include CVE-2022-26904—a publicly known issue—and CVE-2022-26815, a severe DNS Server flaw.

Mozilla Thunderbird 91.8.0 Fix

On April 5, Mozilla released a patch to fix security issues in its Thunderbird email client as well as its Firefox browser. The details are scant, but Thunderbird 91.8 fixes four vulnerabilities rated as having a high impact, some of which could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Firefox ESR 91.8 and Firefox 99 also fix multiple security issues.

WordPress Plugin Elementor Version 3.6.3 

The Elementor website builder plug-in for WordPress has received a big security fix in April for a critical-rated vulnerability that could allow attackers to perform remote code execution and effectively take over a website.

Found by researchers at Plugin Vulnerabilities, the flaw was introduced in the plug-in in version 3.6.0, released on March 22. “We would recommend not using this plugin until it has had a thorough security review and all issues are addressed,” the researchers said.

Although the attacker must be authenticated to exploit the issue, it’s still pretty serious because anyone logged into an affected website can exploit it. The update for Elementor’s 5 million users, version 3.6.3, should be applied as soon as possible.

We can't tell which party made the first move, but both the pro-Ukraine and Russian sides have been exchanging DDoS attacks.
The post Ukraine government and pro-Ukrainian sites hit by DDoS attacks appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

The Computer Emergency Response Team in Ukraine (CERT-UA) has announced that Ukraine government web portals and pro-Ukraine sites are subjected to ongoing DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. They don’t currently know who is behind these attacks.

The attack involves injecting a malicious JavaScript (JS)—officially named “BrownFlood”—into compromised WordPress sites, arming them with the ability to DDoS sites. The script, which is encoded in base64 to avoid detection, is injected into the HTML structure of the sites’ main files. Whoever visits these sites are then turned into an unknowing accomplice to an online attack they are unaware of.

Target URLs are defined in the code.

Even the owners of these compromised WordPress sites do not realize that they were involuntarily signed up for a cause against Ukraine.

BleepingComputer revealed that the same JS script shared on GitHub had been involved in a DDoS attack a month ago against a smaller pool of pro-Ukraine sites. It then came to light that a particular pro-Ukrainian site had used the same DDoS code to target Russian sites.

CERT-UA worked closely with the National Bank of Ukraine to strengthen its defensive stance against DDoS attacks. The agency also informed WordPress site owners of their compromise and provided guidance on detecting and removing the malicious JS.

CERT-UA listed three recommendations for WordPress site admins to follow, which we have replicated the translated version of below:

1.  Take steps to detect and remove malicious JavaScript code.
2.  Provide up-to-date \[active plug-ins\] and up-to-date support for website content management systems (CMS).
3.  Restrict access to website management pages.

The agency also provided a detection tool (scroll down to the bottom of the page) admins can use to scan their sites.

知道该插件已经是好几年前了，之后很少有机会在网上写博客了，所以可能就不会再用到这个插件了，直到前几天又要做个小东西，我想到了这个插件，发现作者还在更新，百感交集，先不谈插件好不好，单单作者这份坚持和用心，就已经打动了我，当然，作者写的插件易用小巧，适用多环境下，这也是我第一次给WordPress widget评价，对作者的坚持表示敬佩和感谢。 PS：如果能支持一下微信小程序就更好了，现在我是通过Webview来使用的，经过简单的模板适配，依然适用！

用了两年了，作者一直有在不断更新！这是目前能用的到的最简洁、美观、实用的音乐播放插件，支持网易和虾米。虽然还有一部分音乐版权在QQ音乐手上，但是已经知足了，毕竟同类可以调用三者的插件UI简直辣眼睛。

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Shea Bunge's Footer Text plugin <= 2.0.3 on WordPress.

This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

**Description**

Provides an interface in the dashboard, similar to the post edit screen, that allows you to easily change the text displayed in the footer on the front-end. After installing the plugin, add the footer_text() template tag to your footer.php theme template where you want the text to display. For more options, see the FAQ.

You can use these shortcodes in the footer text editor:

*   [last_modified] the date that the current page was last modified on
*   [page_link] the full permalink of the current page, formatted. The content wrapped in this shortcode will be used as the link text
*   [year] the current year eg: 2013

Visit the plugin homepage, or contribute to its development at GitHub.

**Screenshots**

**Installation**

1.  Upload the footer-text directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2.  Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3.  Visit _Appearance > Footer Text_ to write your awesome footer text
4.  Place the footer_text() template tag somewhere in your theme where you want the text displayed
5.  Visit site. Observe.

**FAQ**

**How can I display the footer text in my theme?**

You can use the footer_text() function to display the footer text, or the get_footer_text() function to return it for use in PHP. These template tags should generally be used in the footer.php file of your theme.

The footer_text() function outputs the formatted footer text and accepts three parameters: $before, $after and $default. $before will be outputted _before_ the text, $after will be outputted _after_ the text, and $default will be used instead of the text is none is set. If no text is set $default is empty, nothing will be displayed.

The get_footer_text() function returns the formatted footer text and accepts one parameter: $default, which will be returned if no text is set.

If the plugin isn’t active, the template tag will result in an error. To solve this, you can use an action hook instead:

    do_action( 'footer_text', $default, $before, $after );
    

This works the same as calling the footer_text() function, and any of the three arguments can be omitted.

It still does the trick, even in 4.4!

mojen September 3, 2016

Does exactly what it says on the tin. It works with Insert Pages shortcodes as well. Thank you!

CVE-2022-27860: Footer Text

WordPress Booking Calendar plugin versions 9.1 and below suffer from PHP object injection and insecure deserialization vulnerabilities.

    On April 18, 2022, the Wordfence Threat Intelligence team initiated the disclosure process for an Object Injection vulnerability in the Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress, which has over 60,000 installations.We received a response the same day and sent over our full disclosure early the next day, on April 19, 2022. A patched version of the plugin, 9.1.1, was released on April 21, 2022.We released a firewall rule to protect Wordfence Premium,  Wordfence Care, and Wordfence Response customers on April 18, 2022. Sites still running the free version of Wordfence will receive the same protection on May 18, 2022.We recommend that all Wordfence users update to the patched version, 9.1.1, as soon as possible as this will entirely eliminate the vulnerability.Description: Insecure Deserialization/PHP Object InjectionAffected Plugin: Booking CalendarPlugin Slug: bookingPlugin Developer: wpdevelop, opluginsAffected Versions: <= 9.1CVE ID: CVE-2022-1463CVSS Score: 8.1(High)CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HResearcher/s: Ramuel GallFully Patched Version: 9.1.1The Booking Calendar plugin allows site owners to add a booking system to their site, which includes the ability to publish a flexible timeline showing existing bookings and openings using a shortcode, [bookingflextimeline].The flexible timeline includes the ability to configure viewing preferences and options when viewing the published timeline. Some of these options were passed in PHP’s serialized data format, and unserialized by the define_request_view_params_from_params function in core/timeline/v2/wpbc-class-timeline_v2.php.An attacker could control the serialized data via several methods:- If a timeline was published, an unauthenticated attacker could obtain the nonce required to send an AJAX request with the action set to WPBC_FLEXTIMELINE_NAV and a timeline_obj[options] parameter set to a serialized PHP object.- Any authenticated attacker could use the built-in parse-media-shortcode AJAX action to execute the [bookingflextimeline] shortcode, adding an options attribute in the shortcode set to a serialized PHP object. This would work even on sites without a published timeline.- An attacker with contributor-level privileges or above could also embed the [bookingflextimeline] shortcode containing a malicious options attribute into a post and execute it by previewing it, or obtain the WPBC_FLEXTIMELINE_NAV nonce by previewing the [bookingflextimeline] shortcode and then using method #1.Any time an attacker can control data that is unserialized by PHP, they can inject a PHP object with properties of their choice. If a “POP Chain” is also present, it can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, delete files, or otherwise destroy or gain control of a vulnerable website. Fortunately, no POP chain was present in the Booking plugin, so an attacker would require some luck as well as additional research in order to exploit this vulnerability. Nonetheless, POP chains appear in a number of popular software libraries, so many sites could still be exploited if another plugin using one of these libraries is installed.Despite the lack of a POP chain and complexity involved in exploitation, the potential consequences of a successful attack are so severe that Object Injection vulnerabilities still warrant a “High” CVSS score. We’ve written about Object Injection vulnerabilities in the past (https://email.wordfence.com/e3t/Ctc/GC+113/cwG7R04/VVpBSr3BkC5gW3zCRq11qNCJPW2qd3df4JnTTpN6klYVQ5js6JV3Zsc37CgG1_W4Cc2TH2cMdlnW5f7ykY58sLPNW4pvZXZ2RXFNBW7KbW7x7z0_PZVDPKzv1yW6N0W7v4Xbb94X562Vx_h734dKwtbW64FBwn4PkBrVW6K_MLr53zwDfW4VH96w95ZT3qW11tQ681xsy7DN1dXl29dh69DW4vpJ0h6nhGVSW5XzPFp40K1RFW5PCymh61jdV9W1WSKs76PKR7rV8vsw54MNkD5W1vSwjN3tdZZ0W6JnYnt1kphDLW5BMKJQ4R6zYYW41XMGF5lxxpWN8_KG5xf57l3VJ9Cpq8kNPCqN90_1c3m4f__W2WnhNh1YPPNGVXZkVx2fCwHNW218B8X4s27wRW8VQWWb9jbvCGVY7B375H-KWTW3DGsJC7yVVSRW2jTqcW3Y3VQ6W7jN8Sg7Y3H67V5dYPX7ZdWPjW74Cb_v3bWjCr3bzH1 ) if you’d like to find out more about how they work.TimelineApril 18, 2022 - We release a firewall rule to protect Wordfence Premium, Care, and Response customers. We initiate the disclosure process. The plugin developer verifies the contact method.April 19, 2022 - We send the full disclosure to the plugin developer.April 21, 2022 - A patched version of the Booking Calendar plugin, 9.1.1, is released.May 18, 2022 - The firewall rule becomes available to free Wordfence users.ConclusionIn today’s post, we covered an Object Injection vulnerability in the Booking Calendar plugin. Wordfence Premium, Wordfence Care, and Wordfence Response customers are fully protected from this vulnerability. Sites running the free version of Wordfence will receive the same protection on May 18, 2022, but have the option of updating the Booking calendar plugin to the patched version 9.1.1 to eliminate the risk immediately.If you believe your site has been compromised as a result of this vulnerability or any other vulnerability, we offer Incident Response services via Wordfence Care.

There is no better plugin than this for this domain.

The plug-in is very good, but there are some incompatibilities. such as Incompatible with the theme's label cloud, resulting in no color display. This is a very powerful WP plug-in I've seen. If the page of submitting results can be displayed, for example; Gender, age, test time and date, that's more perfect

![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f99995e094d67b5ceeff6b661cc04a5d?s=60&d=retro&r=g)

It works excellent, I would add the possibility of doing mathematical calculations not as conditionals but to obtain numerical results, to do tests that require simple calculations such as: Quality\_of\_life = (anxiety + depression + work) / 2 Then: If: quality\_of\_life> = 5 then: Quality of life: Good

This is a great plugin I have seen ever, But if getting more updates will be more fantastic

![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/365c3a86e210d343807a9941e85defee?s=60&d=retro&r=g)

I have used this plugin now for several different tests/quizzes - some simple ones and one very complex one with a lot of customization. Works like a dream!

![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/45cb0397d670d0b3fe240cf48b508b2f?s=60&d=retro&r=g)

Does a fantastic job of a complex situation. Is a bit tricky to setup, but allows a number of ways to configure tests/assessments and matched our need very well.
