    Hi!

    Looks like the host detected the plugin as a false-positive. I have no idea why, perhaps some code parts resemble something for the heuristics filter.

    Have you tried to install the plugin via the plugin manager? It’s much better than using FTP to upload, and might not give you this warning.

    Otherwise I guess you will have to whitelist that file somehow. Maybe there is an option on your CPanel or equivalent hosting settings page, where you can whitelist files. Maybe you will have to contact the hosting provider to do it for you.

    Best,

    Thank you ! That problem has solved by hosting provider.
    So I have some else trouble :
    1. I have some product want to relative with post but after set up custom content (Pic 1a) it now show any content below description (Pic 1b)
    2. When I set instance “Related Products” then turn on “Show the plugin under content?”, “related product” and “may you like …” got too jumble (Pic 2) (Link: http://wowmart.vn/sp/thuoc-bo-danh-cho-phu-nu-tren-50-tuoi-one-a-day-womens-50-multivitamins-200-vien/)
    Sorry for my bad English
    Thank you !

    I’m getting problem again when installing “Pro Related Post”, hosting system noticed to me :
    Our systems performed a routine malware/virus scan on the account wowmart under your reseller account wowmartc and unfortunately located infected/malicious files. We’ve automatically moved the infected files(s) out of your public_html directory into a safe, quarantined directory. Below is the file our scanners were able to locate:

    /home/wowmart/public_html/wp-content/plugins/related-posts-pro/includes/hooks.php
    (quarantined to /home/hawkinfected/cxsuser/wowmart/hooks.php.1449623400_1) ClamAV detected virus = [{HEX}base64.inject.unclassed.6.UNOFFICIAL]
    I have tried to ask hosting provider add to whitelist but they don’t (Hawkhost). Could you help me resolve this ?
    Thank you !

    Hi!

    I gladly help you if I can. I’m attaching a modified version to this post, please try installing it. I think I might know why the virus scanner was reporting the issue…

    Let me know if this works, and I help with the other problems as well.
