@comediann – that’s great… where can i find a local copy of the functions.php file from v2.8.4 to which i can add that snippet of code? also, where does it go in the wordpress directory?

@esmi – if it were only that easy… 8/

i’d put it on my host and install a modern version of WP, if i could, but unfortunately this is a client who has a contract with another ISP, so i have to do it their way.

continuing after step 4)

5) go back to the main page, and click the “refresh” button

RESULT: the link changes from “Log In” to “Log Out” and there is a “Site Admin” link above it.

6) click on the “Site Admin” link.

RESULT: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

7) go back to the main page, and click the “Log Out” link.

RESULT: “You are now logged out.”

i don’t know how FTP will help me, but i have FTP access…

using [email protected] doesn’t work either: RESULT: “ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password?”

unfortunately, i don’t have access to phpmyadmin… another important thing that my ISP doesn’t give me access to… 8/

forget it. it’s not resolved, but apparently nobody cares and i’m tired of waiting for a solution that’s never going to arrive.

really? is there nobody that has experienced this before?

please help. thanks.

oy…

no, it’s not like that… it had a lot of gibberish with a base64 encoded section at the top. and admin-post.php has the same section:

it looks like i’ve got some cleanup to do… 8/
