    I am not sure where to ask this question and have been looking all over for an answer to my question.

    I have several WordPress sites and a couple of them where hacked into recently.

    When this first happened I noticed that some of my sites had a folder called .qidb since the folder was not in all of my sites I thought that it was junk and took it out.

    Now Google is not finding my site. I did accidentally block Google from crawling my sites for about a week. I just caught that last night and let Google access my sites again.

    But now I am concerned what is the .qidb folder? Is it part of WordPress or Google? Should I put them back?

    If your .qidb is like the .qidb folders I found, those are Berkeley DB files. I have never seen then associated with a WordPress site before. MySQL used to support the BDB engine but as of 5.1 it does not. It shouldn’t have anything to do with WordPress or Google.

    This is your Quick Install file if you use that in cpanel to create your wordpress install. Nothing to worry about. I suppose if you delete it, it might keep you from doing managing your installation from the quick install tool.

    As takes12no1 says this folder is related to multisite features. On my case it did showed up as soon as I enabled this feature and installed a site on a sub-domain.
