I found that wp-info.txt file in one of my directories – they have passwords for EVERYTHING (changing them all now).
OK – thanks for those tips.
I have definitely found part of the problem – my site has been HACKED!
Started noticing all these files scattered in the directories:
seeminglyrandomnumber.php
AND then there was also an htaccess file in all of my folders, with strange rules for pointing to those files.I’m in the process of cleaning it all out now. These files DEFINITELY don’t belong…there was also a random “wordpress” user in my database (along with admin). In the process of clearing out those files and changing EVERYTHING- all passwords, etc. Yikes!
Here’s something REALLY weird.
I dropped the entire database and restored from BEFORE the upgrade (remember, I was at vsn 2.3.3).
I deleted ALL of my files and restored from a backup directory.
At this point everything should look exactly like it did before the upgrade.
I logged into my admin panel, looked at the bottom, and it STILL says “your wordpress 2.5 is out of date”.
How’s that possible? Maybe it’s a hint to why this upgrade isn’t going quite right.
Any help appreciated.
oh, I just tried rolling back again (to try again) – and it seems that the db rollback doesn’t work quite correctly – as now that I’ve rolled back it says in the admin footer “your wordpress 2.5 is out-of-date”. So…maybe I’ll just delete ALL the tables/recreate them with the import script.
Hopefully that’ll work right! 🙂
Still awaiting your insight/feedback.
It actually doesn’t say!?!?
I upgraded another of my blogs (from the same vsn) with no problems. When I look in the footer of THAT blog, I can see that it says vsn 2.5.1
However, the footer of this blog lists NO version.
On top of that I’ve tried rolling back to previous version (restored old DB backup taken just before the upgrade, and restored all old files – after which point everything worked fine) and then RE-upgraded. Same result.
I can also tell you that having seen a successful upgrade, the dashboard layout on this blog is all wacky.
Ideas?
