Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: New post thrown away, no preview, no saveAdditionally, I’ve found that if one tries to edit one of the older posts, something bad happens: All posts are no longer recognized and appear to be deleted. The only error message was something to the order of ‘Sorry, you appear to be editing a post that doesn’t exist.’
I restored the database from a backup and everything came back but the core problem remains — the editor is screwed up in some way.

In reply to: New post thrown away, no preview, no saveNo, the wp_options crash led to a security incident. Specifically, this is the problem and it is described recently (May) here, too:

I’m hosted on Yahoo. Yahoo offers an install of this version of WordPress to all its small business users, so they all have the potential exposure.
And I did check if the editor was in Visual. It didn’t seem to matter.

In reply to: WordPress blog returned me to Install screenResolved. Problem was with a crashed/munged wp_options table in the database. A repair through the php administrator fixed it.
However, why it crashed is a bit of a mystery.

In reply to: WordPress blog returned me to Install screenMore narrowly, the problem is this. Trying to login in always brings up the install.php file. I looked in the database using the PHP administrator and every table is there. However, -wp_options_ isn’t
accessible. When trying to browse, the administrator returns an error.What do I do now? Reinstall?

In reply to: WordPress blog returned me to Install screenAh, I host on Yahoo and .htacess isn’t even allowed on it. However, the blog has been working fine, so the problem is something else. And I can’t do an upgrade because I can’t get in to my WordPress dashboard.

In reply to: WordPress blog returned me to Install screenPerhaps I was unclear. Log in just gets me to a fresh install screen. I don’t even get asked to input login and password, although all that is still in my database, according to myPHP administration program.
As for .htacess, I can’t see it.
