Not Acceptable!!!!

okay: when I try to change my permalinks I get this:

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /WP/wp-admin/options-permalink.php could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

There are a few ways to resolve this problem. First you may create a new post along with any image and see what happens. If it is OK, the rest is easy.

Check your posts from the dashboard. If all posts are present, there is nothing much to worry. If no posts are shown there, you need to get the backup database. If you have a previously backed up database, you can use that. You can also contact your host who may help you with a back up.

Try these, and report here the results. If no database is available from any source, there are a few other ways to retrieve your contents.

I really am not trying to recreate from the backup – I am simply trying to create new pages, posts, etc… Fresh load of everything. Starting over.

I cannot create and save (drafts even) new posts or pages… why??? I’ve followed the threads using the keyword search “unacceptable” – done all they suggested – without any success.

did you wipe the original database Is there a chance that you are overwriting to the original database. Have a look and see what is there.

@snowprophoto,

Your site has been hacked/ defaced on 19th April. I think perhaps you know about it. Probably one or two pages are left, as your Google sitemap cache shows.

Look at this link: https://no-safe.org/m/29243

I will also be posting a report and screenshot of it in my site for my own info, and for the knowledge of others.

So, if you do not have any backups, or if your hosts cannot give a backup of a date prior to April 19, you can delete whatever is left and start from scratch. You cannot recreate soon over 1000 pages.

As you claim, your site was not accidentally deleted.

Anyway, there is no virus/ malware scare now, and anyone can visit the above link or your site.

And tighten the security from your side, and alert your host Host Papa.

I guess then that is the second time i been hacked by the same guy. Cleaned it up once. inserted WP hardening, security, changed all sorts of passwords, etc. d—. So. I think i am done with WordPress.
I am simply weary of this nonsense. I am a photographer, not a coder. These people should be hung. The amount of work I invested in my site equals to 10s of 1000s of dollars. This amounts to grand larceny. I wish someone could find this a–h—.

I’l see what my host says – I just contacted them.

The problem is not really WordPress. You’re on a crappy web host known to be insecure. Your account can be compromised by other insecure accounts at hostpapa.

Bluehost is a very secure shared host that has few problems with hacking. If you do a clean install of WP and use strong passwords, you will be fine on Bluehost. Export your pages/posts and images with the export option – or export your database – and move to a better host.

@snowprophoto

songdogtech said it right. I just did not mention about hostpapa’s insecurity which I also knew is rather insecure. As I mentioned, and as you yourself admit now you were hacked even before. But you were making your complaints as if what happened to you was a WordPress problem. I checked about the possibility of getting hacked only after trying all other possibilities.

However, as songdogtech advised, you may better switch over to a secure host like Bluehost.

@songdogtech, I don’t think that all her posts are in the host’s database now. They are defaced. Only a few posts out of over 1000 pages in her sitemap are left and what are not defaced are now linked to her site when I checked up last. So, she has to either depend on a previous backup or ask her host to provide one that was backed up before the site was hacked.

2 questions guys (and thank you for taking the time….)
1. How are you all able to look into my backend???

and

2. should i be worried that you can?

Again.. not a coder – nor do I want to be…

Interesting question!

I think, if you solve your problem in the proper way, you yourself may be able to answer the first part of your question. You may be wondering how I could find out many facts, though you did not provide such info. The answer is that most people who know how the internet works can find out what I did.

And about the second part, you need not have any such worries. We are professionals in what we do and have our own ethics. The same question can be asked to you by one of your clients. Don’t you think so?

And another implication of your question can be if we can be of any cause of worry. Is it not?

The simplest answer is that if we are like that we would not keep our own websites and keep a clean web-identity. Hackers mostly do not leave any trace at all about their whereabouts.
