No need to be rude, whooami. Simply pointing out that my installation is too old to be salvaged would have been sufficient. I stated upfront that I hadn’t changed anything in my WP setup in a very long time, as I’m among those who believe that if it’s not broken, don’t fix it — and it hasn’t been broken until now. Upgrading was on my list of options all along, but I thought I’d ask here first in case that could be avoided with an easy fix. I’m not that invested in blogging, let alone WP.

Back to the drawing board for me …and thanks for nothin’!

Oh, and another odd thing. In wp_options table, should all the blog_id value really be 0 (zero)?

I, too, get a blank screen suddenly when I try to reach the admin login, although the blog itself (https://ammusing.ca) shows up just fine. It starting happening today (25 September 2008). I’m not sure either which version I’m running; I haven’t changed anything to it since Spring 2005 …so perhaps V. 2 something. I do notice, however:

— the file xmlrpc.php is CHMOD 000, but replacing it didn’t fix the problem and none of the files in the system have an update date than way back when I installed WP

— in the wp_users table, there was a user ID 18 with some html script tag point to https://search-again.net/js/js.js. (deleting it didn’t help)

— the wp_options table was definitely updated Sept 25 @ 3:14 AM (according to phpMyAdmin) and there are about 10 entries in there that I think look fishy (e.g., option_name field value is rss_2cffab547b99df8958e649141891b21d followed by the same with _ts at the end (not sure if I should delete those…)

Very strange! Any insight would help.
