It’s an upgrade (from the latest 1.5.x version, whatever that is) and I ran upgrade.php after copying the files over HOWEVER I deleted all the old version files (keeping the 1.5.x database) before uploading the new stuff

[EDITED] Sorry for double post. Damn sensitive touchpad.

FF v1.5RC3. I’ve uploaded a screenshot to my wordpress.com account so you can see what I mean. However the problem has NOTHING to do with wordpress.com (I put the image there for bandwidth reasons), the problem is on my wp2.0 blog on my own server – I’ve tried the usual tricks (Ctrl+Reload, clear cache etc.) and they don’t seem to make a difference.

I don’t have a huge number of plugins installed, but I’ll test it out anyway (hey, what are site backups for? :P)

Great, thanks, I’ll start writing the 302s tomorrow (I’m in BST timezone)

There’s no slashing and burning involved, I am simply switching from a package that I know to be highly vulnerable (WordPress, given that it got me hacked) to one that is slightly less vulnerable (Movable Type)

EDIT: On the subject of staying up-to-date, I was using WordPress 1.5.1.3, the latest version, so that cannot be used as an excuse for the flaws

As far as I know, it wasn’t register_globals anyway, it was a javascript component of the Rin theme. Whatever caused it, my site has ALREADY been hacked and I can’t really risk it happening a second time.

Urgent because I need to get rid of my current WordPress install for security reasons. Thanks for the idea though, worked like a charm.

That’s WordPress? Nice! I would have done something similar (in the 4 years I ran my school’s website design team) except they wouldn’t give me PHP/MySQL access. Idiots

Is IP blocking even effective? I mean even if you have broadband all you have to do is disconnect the DSL modem (not sure if its the same for cable, someone enlighten me) and voila, new IP address.

The problem with blog clients (such as w.bloggar, which is great on Windows) is that they don’t take account of any ‘customised’ stuff in your posting menu. Like if you have a code validator, or a technorati tags plugin, all of those will be ignored because you are posting via a standard interface.

I’m not trying to be pedantic, but are the referrals from technorati.com or (as in your previous post) techorati.com

If it’s technorati.com (with an N), the referring pages definitely exist (go to Technorati.com, then Tags, and type in ‘cats’).

If it’s techorati.com (without an N) then it’s referrer spam, as that site is a link farm (some blogs put up a list of ‘recent referrers’, so its for the same reasons as comment spam).

OK, thanks, it seems from the way that the Kubrick comments template works that I can’t sort out the problem with lists within comments without putting a bullet beside each actual comment. I can understand what was causing the problem, but I’ll probably have to find a new theme after all.

Thanks

Still don’t have the faintest idea what was causing it, but reinstalling WordPress (although a bit of a pain) seems to have solved the problem

It’s still doing it (after the PHP MyAdmin repair) and the database is only 1.38 megs. I’ll backup my database and try a full, fresh install of WordPress, maybe one of the plugins I had before has screwed something up.
