    Ok, I’ve found some tools to decode the text, and while I’m no PHP expert it looks like they’re adding in a bunch of links to the page, but only when it’s being crawled by a bot like Google or Yahoo.

    I still have no idea how they got in. I’ve also found several additional admin users by using phpMyAdmin and checking out the wp_users table. I’ve removed them, but without knowing where my security hole is I fear they’ll just come back.

    I’ve grabbed that and uploaded it to http://www.alderac.com/hack-database.txt

    It seems to have a lot of extra junk and then some more coded text.

    Thanks so much for looking into this.

    Oh, another question — even if a hacker could upload to the uploads folder through some security flaw, how is he activating that plugin so that WordPress has to deactivate it?!

    I’m also having this problem since upgrading to 2.8. Flash uploader does the “crunching” and then gives me a login screen inside the floating “upload” window for each file I uploaded.

    Latest Flash, Gears disabled, multiple browers (and both Vista and XP), caches cleared and recleared and restarted, js_cache removed, I even rebuilt Apache on the server so it has the latest PHP (5.2.9).

    I’ve tried everything I can find to fix it, nothing is working.

    Hey nerdist, saw the call from @wilw to help you in Twitter and the 140 limit is hurting for this kind of thing.

    That’s the proper .htaccess but your site still isn’t rewriting. My guess is mod_rewrite is broken or not compiled. It’s possible your host forgot to include it in a recent rebuild of Apache.

    If you create a php file with this in it:

    <head>
    <title>PHP Info</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    </body></html>

    upload that (as phpinfo.php) to your site’s root and then browse to it you can look to see if mod_rewrite is there under “Loaded Modules” in the apache section.

    If it’s in there then it should be working and your host has something seriously messed up somewhere.

    It works, but making them display properly requires hacking around with the PHP. Bleah.
    If anyone has a simple way of adding it to comments, I’d love to know. I had to make do with a small table because of the IE display bug (I had it float: left, but then the icon didn’t show up, even though it was there and could be clicked).

    Even if the empty parent category not displaying isn’t a bug, the child categories should still display if they’re not empty.

    Only a summary, not a full export.
