    Noooo! Not the whole post, just the title/excerpt/featured image.

    That might work. Ideally I’d like for the posts to display as if they’re on the sub-site on the homepage/category pages.

    But for this sort of thing, would seperate installations or multisite be a better option?

    The ‘parent’ site is for a local radio station to the area and the second website is more of a local forum/business directory.

    I was thinking that the forum would have more user interaction and would be a good way to drive traffic onto the radio station’s site for other local content such as news/events.

    We want the two sites to be branded differently (and on a separate domain) and not to use the branding/image of the radio station, but instead to have a similar feel (same theme, different modifications to it) and vibe about the main website to it’s clear that the two sites are related.

    I have done, and it has since come back up. Odd, as there are no error logs that I can see.

    I’m thinking my host is going through a bout of unreliability, as this is the second time the site has gone down in 24 hours, but only the first (I think) since we migrated to them about a year ago!

    I’m awaiting their response, hoping they have an explanation as to what’s going on!

    Thanks for your advice πŸ™‚

    Fantastic, thanks for the spark of inspiration!

    I managed to take a backup and import an older version of the options table, and that sorted it right out, where I could just do an export/import.

    Thank you πŸ™‚

    Ah okay, yeah. That makes sense!

    So, I can’t see what the problem could be though. With regards to the error message ERROR: $table_prefix in wp-config.php can only contain numbers, letters, and underscores., what should I be looking for in regards to fixing it?

    I’m thinking about starting the WordPress from scratch – copying the theme across, and reinstalling plugins and stuff, I don’t know. Is this worth doing? Also, if I do this, how possible would it be to migrate content from A to B? Posts and pages and stuff? We’re looking at building a new site in the future, so ideally I’d like to just get it done quickly and pretty hassle free, because at the moment, I’m just trying to resecure my server – changing passwords, database passwords/usernames and any other setting that could be used to gain access.

    Also, since my last post, I think I’ve found the issue – the Moderation Keys line in the wp_options database have been completely changed to various swear words.

    Is there any way I can generate new keys or find the old ones?

    So, it turns out it’s a hacker.

    My index page was changed to redirect to another website. Since fixing this, I now have the original issue with the error.

    I have no idea still what’s causing this.

    I’ve just emailed my host to see if they can perform a full systems backup.

    I’m also going to look at changing hosts, because I am unsure if this is a problem with the host, or if it could be a hacker? Either way, I’m thinking changing hosts will help if it’s either of these problems.

    I’m just hoping that if I/we can diagnose the problem that it can be prevented from happening again.

    —edit—

    Just some more info:

    It’s showing the 404 page
    I’m running Delicate News from Elegant Themes
    And here’s the code I’m using: ?php include(ABSPATH."/scripts/now/now.php"); ?>
    And I’ve also tried using include_once

    Don’t worry, I’ve just noticed that it was all backed up this morning, so I reuploaded everything and it works perfectly!

    Thanks Samuel,

    I’ve given it a go, and I’ve tried adding the URL’s into wp-config, and functions.php, I’ve also tried the auto find, and double checking all the URL’s in the database itself, still no luck though.
