I personally recommend you get a new webhost. Or at least be put onto a server that wasn’t hacked. Once a hacker gets in, it really takes quite an effort to resecure the server with any confidence.

There are two main things you really want. First is the mysql database. Ask your host if they have a backup. Get them to send you a copy if they do. If they don’t, and you don’t, the written content of your posts is lost.

As well, anything that was in the wp-content dir is something you also need. It contains your theme (which could be reacquired, not essential), but will also likely contain any uploaded pics and such.

You can likely reinstall brand new wordpress files and restore from your database if you have the mysql, and replace your pictures files if you have those. Make sure there is nothing in there pretending to be a picture that isn’t one. A hacker type might leave behind something that shouldn’t be there.

Ideally, if you have an original on your drive, use that. If you don’t, try and recover from your existing files. But wherever you can’t replace with new stuff.

glad you’re sorted pigduck. you didn’t do anything wrong in my book, but you should also know that you can click the edit link in your original post and add the link in there.

I’m not aware of wordpress doing that. It’s never done it to me. Do you have a control panel for your webhost that has some ‘security’ features?

Perhaps you could post your .htaccess file here. Our collective eyes can look at it and advise.

thanks for that feedback. basically, you hit the write tab, hit refresh, and then it will work normally?

I’ll see if I can duplicate this, but considering it’s never happened to me, I’m not sure I’ll be successful (or, um, unsuccessful, if you know what I mean).

It sounds like a cache issue. Could be in browser cache, or even your isp’s cache. Perhaps cookies too. I’m not too familiar with everything wp does with cookies, but I’d experiment by deleting them if I had this issue.

hmmm. what could you guys have in common? perhaps a plugin.

I recommend you disable all of your plugins and try a test. If it works, then enable them one by one until you see the problem again. (yeah, I know, lots of testing).

I’ve installed fresh, and upgraded from previous several times, and never had a problem with 2.0.3 and posting. I’m just recommend you guys do things I would do if I had such a problem. It might take time. If someone else has experienced this and knows of a solution, we’re all ears here! 🙂

nyb. could it be your theme? have you tried switching to the default theme for testing? do your posts show up there?

First, use wordpad or notepad instead of word. Word will attach a bunch of formatting codes that can mess up your page.

Maybe you folks could provide more info about your setup.

I went to netmom101’s site, and it has a post saying technical difficulties resolved. I wonder what the solution was?
