In reply to: Custom Permalinks have stopped workingRight, but now it’s set to default. If I set it to custom, which is how most of my pages were designed, nothing works and it’s all 404 errors. For example, my feed won’t work. Here’s an example of my standard URL that is in my RSS feed:
and you just get the page not found.

In reply to: Page links stopped workingokay! Here goes! Thanks. But posting a copy of my .htaccess – isn’t that private?

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blogResolved for the moment! Am not using RockYou any longer. Also, when this happens, I just ftp the saved header.php file to my server and the hack goes away. A pain, but it works.

In reply to: Modifying my SQL database after uninstalling Redirection pluginIn the end, I just deleted those four files from my sql database and no problem. Everything is working properly and I’ve saved a lot of server space.

In reply to: Page links stopped workingI am now having this problem – again. The last time, I set it to default, then back to custom, and it worked. This time, the “trick” is not working.
Have tried that multiple times and still 404.
I do use .htaccess file for files that have been renamed. The file is simple:
RewriteEngine on
redirect myblog http://www.mywebsites.com/myblog
etc. etc.Don’t want to go back to “default” theme because when I go back to the theme I prefer, there are big problems going back and forth.
I’ve read the “using_permalinks” file and it seems complicated.
Any simple change i can make? The server is mod_rewrite. I used to use FrontPage but no longer.
Thanks.

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blogRVoodoo, I did change out the WP files too, which was easy since there was a new upgrade. I suspect that the hack came from my RockYou video slideshow, which I had embedded. I deleted the slideshow, and closed out my RockYou account too. So we’ll see if that does the trick. From now on, I’m doing slideshows from WP plugins (hope that’s not going to be a minefield but at least I’m storing my files on my own server.)
If that doesn’t do the trick, I’m on to Stage 2 of this and we dig a little deeper!
Thanks.

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blogAnd then it showed up again the other day. So this meant a little more investigation.
I found the hack in my header.php file. So I got another copy of that file (from our wonderful theme developer) and replaced the hacked version with the new one. Changed all my passwords. So far so good.
Thanks.

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blogWell, I upgraded my Theme (Suffusion) and the corruption is gone. I guess it had somehow gotten into the Theme files. Well, it’s not there now!
Boy, this hacking stuff is nasty!
Thanks.

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blog“Now open up your XML file with text editor and search for and delete <script>somethingsomething</script> you find within that XML and when you’re done, save and rename the cleaned-up XML file in your computer.”
What XML file, where? There are a bunch of xml files. I’ve done a search through them, for the terms that you see on screen; none have come up.
What text editor are you referring to, also?
“I see the hack in your dbx-content widget or script. Remove that from your sidebar in Appearance > Widgets and delete the script or plugin from your install.”
Don’t know what widget you’re referring to. I’ve looked in each, and see no code there like that. What widget are you referring to? “DBX-content” seems to be sidebar widgets. But I don’t see the code you’re referring to in any of them.
“Question is that blog hosted in your own website or is it on a free hosting service? I ask because of possible limits in your fixing the hack if you have limited access. If you’re not admin of the install, contact your Site Admin and report about the issue.”
Yes, I’m on a server and I mentioned it, and there was no particular response about it.
I checked my mySQL database; no such terms there.
What next?

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blogabout the xml file – do you mean my sitemap? That’s the only xml file I can see.

In reply to: spam links showing up in background of my blogMercime,
Don’t know what the dbx-content widget is… Have checked my widgets and am unable to see that.
I have my own server space. Anything I should do with that?
Will check your other suggestions.
Thanks.

In reply to: Modifying my SQL database after uninstalling Redirection pluginUnfortunately, Urban Giraffe, who developed this plugin, isn’t doing any more support!
so I would really appreciate if somebody from WordPress would help me out here….Do I go into the MySQU database and just delete those four files???
Thanks.

In reply to: 404 error: loop on one post whose URL is fineWell, we can forget about this one. I had a redirect in my .htaccess file that was confusing the www, I think; but I had corrected it and had ftp’ed it over to my server. Somehow the correct file didn’t register on my server – which I noticed when I looked at the time stamps. I just re-ftp’ed it, and now it’s working fine.
The redirect had to do with : filename/ –> to filename (no forward slash) and it couldn’t figure that out.
