Plugins are fairly standard and uniform across the affected sites:
Akismet

Better Search Replace
Google Analytics
Google XML Sitemaps
W3 Total Cache <– Disabled pending seperate paeg cache issue resolution.
WooCommerce
Themes are varied: Enfold; Genesis etc.
Has anybody experienced such an issue?
Cheers

]]>Since I updated your plugin it has removed all of the default pages that were created with the plugin (i.e logout, view order, edit address etc.)
What can I do to re-add these pages?
Thanks

]]>All the pages and posts were deleted, and mysterious comments were left at or around the same time everything was deleted. We don’t see any site visitors at the times when these comments are left. The comment author is always “1”, where the domain should be is “1” and the link is “https://1” and the comment says nothing but “1” Of course there is no avatar and the only thing you can click on is the link to https://1 which doesn’t exist.
Since everything is deleted, you get a 404 error when you try to load any pages. When you go to the home page, you then see the “OptimizePress Getting Started Guide” as if it’s a brand new installation. However you can still go the the Dashboard and all the plugins and comments are still there. 13 of the pages are still there also, but they must have been drafts or tests as they weren’t linked anywhere on the site and they have no content. 100% of the posts are gone.
We have daily backups so we’re not stressing over it, but I would like to know if anyone else has encountered this same hack. I couldn’t find anything about it anywhere online.
Thanks in advance for your insight.
]]>I can see that my latest posts (those from a few days ago) are still in the database, but I don’t know why the wordpress isn’t accessing the database properly or how I can see if my plugins I downloaded, the comments I received, and the pages I’ve created are still around.
Anyone know how I can revert the wordpress site back to the state it was two hours ago?
]]>I am a complete newbie at wordpress and would really appreciate your help. Last night I finally managed to get wordpress doing what I wanted and had about 8 posts, 5 categories and 4 pages published.
Late last night I added a selection of Plugins which I’ll list below.
This morning I logged in and updated a post, after clicking ‘update’ it returned me to the edit/update screen and displayed “0 Posts”. All my pages are gone, all my posts are gone. I’m not too concerned about recovering them as its an extremely young site, but I’d like to know how to get my site running again and how to prevent this from happening in the future. I suspect it may have been the fault of a plugin, they’re listed below.
postMash was activated at the time of the crash/deletion, I deactivated it afterwards hoping it would fix it. It didn’t.
WordPress Database Backup was added this morning after the crash. I have no backup.
Thanks very much for your help everyone, I really don’t know what to do.
PLUGINS:
Akismet
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments.” To show off your Akismet stats just put <?php akismet_counter(); ?> in your template. See also: WP Stats plugin.

A few days ago I noticed most of my plugins were deactivated.
The blog had been running fine for 8 months before this happened. I hadn’t uploaded any new plugins or made any changes other than writing posts.
Although a few weeks ago I tried creating a page template without a sidebar on it, which didn’t work. But that couldn’t have blown away my pages right? I didn’t apply the template to the missing pages.
Any ideas? Thank you.
