I don’t see anything in your first post about hashed passwords being stored in wp_user. Thanks for the info.

Looks like a great plugin! Thanks!

Does anyone have any info on the password table and if it contains the dates/time passwords were changed?

I’m assuming this is a local install since you’re using MAMP. Is it installed on OS X or Windows?

If you’re using a Windows computer you could try doing a system restore and it may restore the upgrades you made but I’m not sure if that would work or not. You’d want to make sure you hadn’t installed lots of other programs on your computer or done major upgrades since you made the changes you’re wanting to remove by doing the system restore.

As far as the plugins go I’m not sure why you copied in a backup copy of MAMP. If your plugins weren’t working I believe you’d only have needed to copy an exact backup of your plugins folder (not just an unzipped plugin folder) and you wouldn’t have needed to do anything with MAMP. Otherwise you could uninstall each plugin and then reinstall them one by one.

When you copied the MAMP backup folder over the previous copy did you use an unzipped copy of the original MAMP download files? The install process for many programs makes changes to file/folder permissions and so forth. So if you just copied the unzipped download files those changes wouldn’t have been made during the install process (this is true for plugins too). So that could cause the error you quoted.

In regards to phpMyAdmin did you pay for a MAMP Pro License or just use the 14 day free trial? phpMyAdmin is only available in the Pro version so if you used a trial it may have expired.

On the MAMP site it says:

…if MAMP is no longer needed, just delete the MAMP folder and everything returns to its original state (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the “normal” system)

You could try doing that and then reinstalling MAMP. Otherwise maybe you could try installing MAMP without deleting the MAMP folder and it may detect a previous install and give you an option to repair or reinstall MAMP.

If you’re on Windows I use WebMatrix for my local installs and it has a really easy way to install WordPress. It’s a free web development tool that lets you do similar things to what MAMP gives you access to. You can find out more at: https://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/

You don’t have to scrap all your work on your site. You can still backup your existing WordPress database from the admin panel within WordPress (Tools > Export). I prefer doing it through phpMyAdmin but you can always do it that way. Then you could reinstall WordPress and import your database from the same location in the WP Admin Panel. That way you wouldn’t lose all the other work you’ve done.

Hopefully some of this helps.

I just tried deactivating them individually and together and still no change. ??

We are also using the following:

akismet
jetpack

Maybe I’ll try disabling these one at a time and see if it helps.

We’re also having a comment issue. However, I’m not sure if it’s plugin related or not. I’ve replied to a comment issue thread in the troubleshooting forum.

Our comment issue seems to be browser specific. We can see the comment post box in Safari, Firefox and sometimes in Chrome, but IE users can’t see the box to add a comment at all. This started about a week or two ago and prior to that the comments were all working fine.

darkkos, what plugins are you using? Is it only Disqus? We aren’t using that one. Maybe we have another plugin in common that could be the problem. We’re using alot so I’d rather not type them all out if you’re only using a few then I could compare and get back to you.

We have the same problem. I’m not sure the exact date it started, but it’s browser specific. We can see the post box on Safari, Firefox and sometimes on Chrome, but in IE it isn’t visible. https://scrapgirls.com/blog/

WPyogi what plugins are you using? Maybe we have a similar plugin that is causing this.

Ok, cool. Thanks!

I also meant to ask if the wp-config file is supposed to be copied into the wp-content, wp-admin and wp-includes folders?
