I’m sorry to hear that’s happened, @taela87.
First off, WooCommerce only deletes data when you uninstall it (using the delete button in the plugins tab), not when you deactivate it. Your data should all still be in the database, it’s just not being used at the moment.
It sounds like this error is caused by a plugin that relies on WooCommerce trying to load, but with WC disabled, it’s causing an error. To disable all plugins, rename your
wp-content/pluginsfolder to something else –wp-content/plugins.backup, for example. When you load wp-admin, it will no longer see the plugins, and disable them all. You can then change the name of your folder back, to see your plugins again.After that, you can re-enable plugins one-by-one, but given what just happened, it’d be best if you enable WooCommerce first.

In reply to: What's Wrong With My Site?Unfortunately, if you’ve already restored a backup over the top of your existing tables, there’s no way to recover them.
You definitely need to start with a clean copy of WordPress, as the hack is likely deeply embedded in you WordPress install, plugins and themes.
As for the data, you can potentially work to recover from the old backup – you’ll just need to carefully go through and ensure there are no extra users or posts, and that your existing posts don’t have extra “content” added to them.
On top of @websta’s recommendation of a security plugin, I’d also recommend investigating backup plugins – there are free options that will take a regular backup of your database and email or upload it somewhere safe, or there are paid options that offer one-click restore features, too.

In reply to: CSS and Javascript files, 522 errors with certain version numbersYep, CloudFlare will definitely cause that problem.
Good to hear you have it all working again. 🙂

In reply to: What's Wrong With My Site?Hi @yourlivingbody!
Unfortunately, it looks like your site has been hacked. As you have WordPress 4.4 installed (the most recent version, with no known security issues), it was probably through one of your plugins or your theme.
Remain calm and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

In reply to: Facebook Sharing IssueUnfortunately, Facebook don’t provide that kind of information, and I don’t see anything on your site that looks like it might trigger their checks.
At the bottom of the security check popup, there’s a link “If you think you’re seeing this by mistake, please let us know.”. Facebook tend to notice when multiple people report something, so it would probably be worth getting your friends to click that link and tell Facebook that your site isn’t unsafe.

In reply to: Creating the password-setting link by codeHi @uncovery!
There isn’t a function to generate that link for you, but you can see how it’s done in core here:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.4/src/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L1724
The relevant parts are lines 1766-1777 to set up the password reset, and line 1781 generates the link.

It sounds like you need a custom form plugin, Ninja Forms is a popular solution for this.

Both links are loading correctly for me, now. Are you still seeing the same problem?
If you are seeing the same problem, it’s most likely caused by a caching or CDN plugin – please try disabling these plugins to confirm, and clear the cache for the culprit plugin.

In reply to: TinyMCE bug / WP 4.4Hi @iamsmasher!
It looks like this error is caused by a TinyMCE plugin using an old style API call.
Try deactivating all WordPress plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

In reply to: Facebook Sharing IssueHi @damiarita!
Unfortunately, we’re unable to help you from the WordPress side of things. Instead, you’ll need to report this problem directly to Facebook, you can find reporting instructions here:

Thanks for the report, I’ve fixed that typo. 🙂

We can use this to narrow down where the problem is.

In reply to: Help me fix mobile viewing! Messed up after changing sidebarHi @prakin!
To make it not affect mobile, you need to wrap your CSS in screen width check:
@media screen and (min-width: 1180px) { .content-area { float:left; width:715px; } .sidebar-widget-area { width: 300px; } }
