I don’t know but maybye using some security plugins would prevent the hacking. WP-Firewall (free-google it) , askapache password protect, login lockdown, etc.

If you have backups of your site before the trouble started, then maybe you should FTP to your site and delete everything, install a fresh copy of wordpress and delete your old database and reupload from your backup.

Thanks a lot Clayton, I can’t believe I missed that. I was so convinced that there was a complex solution that I completely overlooked the obvious. Thanks again.

Anyone?

Thank You so much mmuro, it worked!

If I was unclear about what I meant in my last post basically what I mean to say is this:

if this link then open in new window else open in same window

What would be the PHP way of saying the above.

Thanks, I actually just got the answer to my question from this thread:

You can try the wordpress security scan plugin.

That was easy, thanks!

Use this plugin to backup the database:

Now that I think about it, you don’t actually have to backup everything else, just download your wordpress folder via the godaddy ftp client, then move all it’s contents to the root. If your site gets messed up, just delete all the moved files and re-upload the saved wordpress folder.

The usage tab on the wp-post-ratings documentation explains just how to do this:

Answer to 1st question:

If you want to disable comments on all your posts or pages then go to Settings >> Discussion and uncheck this: “Allow people to post comments on the article”.

If you want to take it one step further and never even give yourself the option of changing your mind about allowing comments then go to Appearance >> Editor >> Single.php (or Single Post) and find and delete this: <?php comments_template(); ?>

You can then also delete the comments.php file via your ftp client.

That’s because you have your entire wordpress installation inside a folder called wordpress that’s in your root directory. What you have to do is select all the contents inside that folder and move them all to the root directory. Then you can delete the empty wordpress folder. And when you type just your site name your site will show. However since you haven’t done this from the get co (which you should have done) the above might break some or all of your links, so use my suggestion only after backing up your database, wordpress installation and theme files!

I just figured out the answer to question 1. I just had to double click the title instead of clicking it once in which case it just acts as a link. So now the only question is number 2.

You can’t, there always needs to be a default category. If you ever accidentally delete a category that has posts in it those posts will automatically go into the default category. Also if you ever publish a post without assigning it any category, the post will go in the default category. This is why it’s needed.
