This annoying shopping box implanted itself without warning over my website!!!

The only way I thought it could have gotten there was because I installed the "Cart66 plugin" Because I was curious about it's possibility of selling downloadable products.

But I did not do anything after I installed this plugin.

To try and get rid of the annoying shop box I fully deactivated and deleted the Cart66 plugin and went to check my website

but the annoying shop box is still sitting over my website, covering up some of the page!!!!

I don't know what to do.

Does anyone know?

Thank you so much

I had a problem with my WordPress blog and I had to go into C-Panel and rename my theme. This removed the current theme and replaced it with a default theme.

I then went back into WordPress and re-installed my original theme. See if this link can help you. WordPress Fix "Parse Error Functions.php"

Thanks Justin but fortunately I managed to fix it!!!

There were all these magically self-created "Shop/checkout" ect pages that I just had to delete.

Phew!

Roxy,

No Problem....I'm glad that you got it figured out, very stressful when something like that happens.

I remember that you had a wordpress.com site with Google ads on it. Do you still have that site? I also wanted to make sure that wordpress.com allows Google ads on their pages. I know that blogspot does since it is owned by Google. I was wondering about this since I just created a wordpress.com blog.

You can email me on Facebook if you prefer. Sorry I forgot your name on Facebook.

I recommend keeping very good backups of your current theme in the case you have to revert to it. It's not uncommon for a WP blog to be hosed once in a while

Or ask your host to go to the last backup before it happened.

Host usually backup everyday, so you just need to ask them to put the backup on from before the issue arose.
