Hi,
So I follow this...

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
admin.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$checkurl = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if((stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'AddAuthor')) || (stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'VXBkYXRlQXV0aG9y')) || (stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'QWRkQXV0aG9y')) || (stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'UpdateAuthor')) || (preg_match("/\?admin/", "$checkurl")) || (preg_match("/\&admin/", "$checkurl"))) {
die("Illegal Operation");
}

...and I find what it says above.

apart from:-

#
#-----[ COMMENT OUT ]------------------------------------------
#
//$checkurl = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
//if((stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'AddAuthor')) || (stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'VXBkYXRlQXV0aG9y')) || (stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'QWRkQXV0aG9y')) || (stripos_clone($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"],'UpdateAuthor')) || (preg_match("/\?admin/", "$checkurl")) || (preg_match("/\&admin/", "$checkurl"))) {
//die("Illegal Operation");
//}

...which is in the edit file.

What does the COMMENT OUT bit mean?

and do I replace the text which is under the COMMENT OUT comment with what is in the core edit file?

Thanks in advance.

To "comment out" a chunk of code means you place comment characters (like //) in front of the text. That means the code will no longer be interpreted by PHP.

In this case you are to find a chunk of code and put // in front of each line, as is shown by the COMMENT OUT text. Notice that the two chunks of code are the same except for leading // characters.

This essentially deletes the code, which you could do also (if you kept a backup of the file somewhere for safekeeping.)
