Brilliant! Thanks =)

Sorry, that is with regards the obsocialbookmarker plugin =)

I was having this problem, and checked all of my other category slugs, only to find none were clashing.

Then I looked in my links category slugs and found the culprit!

Try using a different slug — and check your links category slugs too =)

Oh now… that was so simple. No wonder I’ve been tearing my hair out! I’ve even had the CSS with jut #cat_list ul and ended up with all the styles because I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working… that pesky font-size!

Thank you so much jeremy. That’s really made my day =)

Sorry it took so long for me to update =)

I left my host and got a new one. I think they screwed up big! I’m not sure how people got into my blog – I can only assume it did have something to do with people getting my password from the config – but like I say, that’s just an assumption.

Anyway,

Thanks for the help you all gave. When things go badly wrong, it’s nice to know that there are people willing to help

Very newsy =)

I really like it, it suits it’s purpose really well

Yeah, I’ve been trying to get a response from them since Friday and nothing… I think they probably have an influx of angry customers

Thanks for the help Otto42 =)

They got me again, same thing, changed the admin password in my database and then logged in to wp and posted their mess.

My config was 444, now I’m so confused =(

Thanks Otto42, I’ve changed the config files on both of my sites to 444 which was the lowest it would work at and I’ll see if I get through my first none hacked night since it started =)

Your other suggestion looks fun and sneaky to try though lol

Otto42, I change the wordpress password every time it happens but I changed the database username and password in mysql maintenance after the second time I was hacked. I’ve just changed it again too =)

The last hack was posts of their mess and not my entire theme changed — because I turned all of my theme’s file permission 644 so no more theme editor for them to use when they logged in

It’s an old db from before all the hackings started happening but I had created a new user and password after the second time they hacked me, to try stop them getting into it. I’m going to change my database username and password again now I think.

I only ever have one wp user (myself) in the db and there are never others as I don’t even have registration set up.

When it happens, they seem to have added a new user to my db and deleted me, so i can’t log in any more. I have to go into phpmyadmin, drop the tables, import my old db again, go log into wp and change the wp password, then save the db again for backup with the new password… or I lose track of the password changes!

I just can’t see how they could access my db to add themselves as a wp user, it’s like there’s a piece of the puzzle missing.

I did a google search for my domain and ‘hacked’ yesterday and found myself on a list.

I don’t really know what they think attacking the site of a dog walker is going to accomplish.

It’s so annoying that I can’t see how they’re doing it though. I really thought I had everything locked down yesterday =/

Otto42, I made a new database user and password and deleted the old the second time it happened. I’ll look into gathering stuff for the security, I just don’t have many logs because I only started downloading logs the other day and I hadn’t been saving logs on the server =(

whooami, I’ve sent along a log that I downloaded today for you to look at =)

The database only has one user and that’s me, until they delete me and replace me with themselves! I’m sure there must be something I’m missing here.

macsoft3 I’ve just been making passwords with standard letters and numbers but they’ve been very long. I might try Greek next time though.
