    Our website has been hit with the most recent hack everyone is talking about.

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/307518?replies=83

    I managed to get the front-end of the site back to normal but the backend/admin section is acting very funny.

    I can not login through the wp-admin.php page whatsoever. I get numerous PHP errors that have never occurred until after the hack.

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/run/public_html/wp-includes/classes.php:1595) in /home/run/public_html/wp-content/plugins/postratings/postratings.php on line 861

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/run/public_html/wp-includes/classes.php:1595) in /home/run/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 694

    I have checked these files and they are fine. The only way I can login to the backend is through the frontend of our website, and then by clicking on "edit post" on one of our live post pages.

    Even when I am logged into the admin, I get this error on the top of every single page.

    I also get tons of errors even when I save options in the admin. They save fine though.

    I dont think there are any script errors but only errors resulting from the hack. What are your suggestions on what I should to to fix this?

    *I have old backups of my wordpress database that I could use for swapping of tables but it would be best if I don't bring back much older information/settings.

    Also, in the "Create New Post" page, I can no longer view the "VISUAL" tab. It only shows everything as HTML.

    Everything used to be fine yesterday until the headache hack occurred. I appreciate any information anyone submits.

    Re-upload all files - with the exception of wp-config.php and the wp-content folder - using a freshly downloaded copy of 2.5.1.

    Thanks for the info but what if I heavily modified my files since installation? This is mainly why I haven't done an upgrade.

    Are there specific files I should be handling instead of the batch of files in the folders?
