Could the create new users and related problems go back to the security breach ?

Yes thanks and that is quite possibly although these account issues did not surface until a couple of months after the breach. Another option perhaps is that the Wordfence plugin is somehow misbehaving since that partly deals with account security and such. Disabling that one however did not solve anything.

There are certainly pre-breach backups but the content there is quite out of date unfortunately. I’m willing to try the SQL approach you mentioned but truth be told my SQL in that regard is a bit rusty due to the ease plugins like Duplicator offer to move sites..

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the detailed feedback, that sounds like a good approach. I was hoping for somewhat of a ‘quicker fix’ of course but I will try out these steps.

As a side note there was a security breach a couple of months ago after which the Wordfence plugin was installed. No account issue came up directly after that though.

If nothing works the website, including the custom theme, can be installed anew in a fresh WordPress installation I guess. But that would be a lot of work obviously, especially to port all content over. So perhaps someone here has some more suggestions?

Hi,

I’m having the same issue, haven’t seen that before using Duplicator. I’m not sure where to update the version of the database in mysql though, where should i do that?

Thanks, Bob

Great, thanks wpfan1000.

I’m using Types now, but Pods seems good as well. Relationship management is the most important feature i’m looking for i guess.

Hartstikke bedankt voor de info! ??

Hi, hanks. Here’s some extra input:

Assign a few team members – what info about team members? Specific fields or a whole post about a team member?
+ This woud be a summary of specific fields. For example: name, function, photo

The about page – Is it a custom post type? Is it an about page about the team? If you have an about page for each team, and you have individual pages for each team member how are you associating them?
+ It would be a general about page, which would include a selection of team members.

Select box in admin area – What do you mean about this – do you mean a select list in the editing screen? If so do you mean in the editing screen of an about page?
+ That would be a select list in the editing screen of an about page. Or the other way around, a page select list in a team member editing screen?

The main question is how to associate Custom Post Types with a page from within a editing screen of a page so an author or editor can manage this pretty easily. I have done this with a couple of CMS systems out there, but I’m relatively new to WordPress. So i wonder how this can be done.
