    My site was hacked, probably because of the timthumb weakness.

    I can access the backend, but not all of it. Editor, home and a couple of other things I cannot access.
    All the posts and pages are still there. I also have cart66 installed and it is still there.

    Is there any way I can make a copy of the pages, posts and shop, so I can upload them again after I reinstall wordpress?

  2. You did change all your MySQL, WordPress, FTP, host account passwords, right...?

    One way is if you can get to it, export your blog to a WXR format.

    http://your-blog-url/wp-admin/export.php

    Keep that XML text file somewhere safe; you'll need to look through it for any dodgy code that may have been inserted before you import it into a new installation.

    The other way is database backup which may be safer because your installation is compromised (all your PHP files may be compromised).

    The database backup is also a text file that can be viewed and inspected for goofy code.

    Give the usual a read too.
