I don’t know other than to follow the steps that were recommended to me. I still haven’t solved my problem. Good luck!

Hello, I believe that the problems are due to malicious hacker attack. This is a University of Houston booster website and I don’t know why anyone would want to hack it. I am considering doing a new WordPress and theme installation. Before I do, I would like to understand the vulnerability. I have put two links to screenshot jpgs. Do you recognize this? I’m asking so (1)hopefully if someone has had this happen to them I can learn from their experience and (2) can anyone tell me if I need to do something with the database. Thanks.

Thank you. I’m going to read the links that you provided and re-install some theme files.

Found out that Twenty Ten will display. So that indicates the WordPress installation is good. Still no idea what is wrong though.

Since this issue happened at generally the same time to more than one website does that point to hacking? I have the same password for all my websites. I’m going to start reading the links that you provided.

The Twenty Ten theme doesn’t display. I can only log-in.

I don’t think so. The themes have been up and running for a long time. I don’t want to advertise but the themes come from the firm with woo in the name.

I can log in. What is going on? Why would this happen to 2 websites?

Follow up – I edited the theme’s folder name to temporarily disable the current theme. I assume now that WP will default to Twenty Ten. If so, the website display is still blank.

I’m not following you. I have /wp-content/themes/ and 4 theme subfolders of which one is Twenty Ten. What do I need to do to switch? I appreciate your assistance.

I can’t log-in and get to dashboard. How can I switch using Filezilla?

I have had this problem before. If it continues, you may need to make the change below:
In Settings>>General>>Membership un-check “Anyone can register”

Does anyone know why the permalinks have ‘tag archive’ and ‘archive’?

Am I in the wrong forum?

Perhaps the issue is due to how I setup my Wordprss site. I’ve been running my website since 2007 and get fairly good listings in Google searches mostly because the topics I write about are uncommon.

When the posts get listed on a Google search, many times the url has ‘tag archive’ or ‘archive’ in the path. I want the url to be website.com/postname. Do you know what I did in the setup to create this problem?
