Hi All, Timthumb is a script used by themes and plugins to resize images. It's very popular on themes by WooThemes.
http://www.woothemes.com/2014/06/timthumb-vulnerability-protect-website/ There have been several security issues with timThumb so many hosts and developers stopped supporting it, though it's still widely used by people like me. As long as you're running the most recent version of timthumb, your plugins are updated, and you're running the most recent version of WordPress, you should be good. Replacing timthumb usually requires rewriting part of your theme. This can vary from a few hours of work to a few weeks, depending on how the theme was built. The best way to get an accurate quote is to work w a web shop, agency, or freelancer on a retainer or consult. I'm not sure what exactly timthumb does or did, but we use Post Thumbnail Editor for creating thumbnails and other sizes of pictures to be used on our site. Maybe it can work for you too?

Perhaps the collective wisdom of the MCN community might have additional advice? Ideally I would like to get a sense of how much the fix will cost to know whether we have to bid out the job. > > (for those interest, the plugin that needs replacing is timthumb) > > Many thanks! > > -- > Tamsen Young > Museum Digital Media and Strategic Initiatives Manager > The Museum at FIT, Room E116 > Seventh Avenue at 27th Street > New York, NY 10001 > 212~217~4547 ** 212~217~4561 fax > www.fitnyc.edu/museum > > Visit our collections online at fashionmuseum.fitnyc.edu< http://fashionmuseum.fitnyc.edu/> > Find us on Facebook:facebook.com/TheMuseumAtFIT< https://www.facebook.com/TheMuseumAtFIT> > Follow us on Twitter @Museumatfit<https://twitter.com/museumatFIT> > > _______________________________________________ > You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) > > To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu > > To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: > http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l > > The MCN-L archives can be found at: > http://mcn.edu/pipermail/mcn-l/ _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://mcn.edu/pipermail/mcn-l/
