Please check the random string 10 characters has only lower case alphabets and numbers. It should not have any upper case alphabets or special characters. If your random string 10 characters had upper case alphabets, WPS Hide Login plugin will convert them into lower case alphabets (not sure what it does to special characters; haven’t tried that). Try to login using all lower case alphabets in random string 10 characters.

Alternatively you can log into your hosting company’s cPanel and access your site from there, then go to WPS Hide Login plugin setting (Under SETTINGS > GENERAL) and check what is the random string 10 characters.

Hope it helps.

Tobias,

I tried looking for 5-6 webpages on my site at Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine (IAWM) but none of them were archived by IAWM. I did receive the MySQL database file and opened it in Notepad++ and was able to find the custom CSS code in it. The custom CSS code was in continuous line so started cleaning it up first (curly brackets and semi-colons, etc. in proper lines).

After a few lines of code, I tried copy-pasting the entire code from the MySQL database file to the Plugin Options text area in your plugin and the text area fixed it automatically in proper lines, which saved me a ton of time (564 lines of code in all). Needless to say I was so happy about not having to clean up the code ??

Thank you for all your help and for the wonderful plugin and prompt support.

Best wishes,
Sanjeev

Thanks Luke. Waiting for IT guy to get back to me. The site does have a backup in .tar.gz format. Possibly includes the database as well.

Thanks Tobias for your input. I was not aware of Google Cache and Archive’s Wayback Machine and will check them out. I will update the thread when I am able to restore the custom CSS, if it helps others.

Thanks. I have asked the IT guys to tell me when the last backup was taken. Will it be easier to lookup the custom CSS in MySQL database file or in one of the files within the TablePress plugin folder as compared to re-creating a dev site?

Does the custom CSS from TablePress plugin get saved in MySQL database or in Plugins folder in wp-content directory?

Hi Luke,

I had a copy of the custom CSS for all the tables in a text editor earlier this morning and closed it without saving and then this happened ??

It is a possibility that there is backup of the site. I will check with the IT guy. Assuming the site had a backup, should I ask for the MySQL database from my IT guy? If yes, I am guessing I will be able to open the MySQL file in a text editor and retrieve the custom CSS. Is that correct?

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Thank you nintechnet. I do not have any Installatron plugin installed on my site. Is there any reason why this file should be uploaded when I do not have any Installatron plugin installed on my site. It is on shared hosting though.

I have created a new site in WordPress 3.5.2 and installed Yoast plugin 1.4.13. I cannot even locate where to add the Google Analytics code and suthenticate the site. In the Dashboard, under Settings I do not see “Google Analytics” option.

I have installed Yoast in 2 other WordPress 3.5.1 sites in the past few months and was able to install the GA code and authenticate the site without having to add the code manually in header.php just before </head> tag but it seems in WP 3.5.2 the Yoast plugin is not working, unless I am missing something.

Would appreciate any help anyone can suggest.

Hi,

I found here that the Google Analytics code has to be pasted just above the </body> tag in footer.php.

footer.php can be found by –

• log into your WordPress site
• hover your cursor over Appearance (in the left navigation bar). this will open a fly-out menu
• in the fly-out menu, click on Editor. it will list all the PHP files in the right side of your screen
• search for footer.php in the right navigation bar and click on it. this will display the code of footer.php in the middle of the screen
• search for </body> tag and paste the Google Analyics code just above this tag

Hi ClassicVolks,

I am running into the same issue. Did you find how to add Google Analytics code to your WordPress site using Mantra theme?
