I have gone into the phpMyAdmin database and deleted him from the wp-user section and 7 entries in the wp-usermeta section.

Should I do anything else. This attack makes me very nervous.

I’ve gone back to the old server and the old database. Everything seems reasonable now. Now I am going to delete all of the files on the new server and start again. Hopefully the transfer will go better this time.

This gets worse. I use Dreamweaver and I “got” the wp-config file to check the settings. I see my local file is now dated 2 December 1601. Wow!

Thanks for helping. I have loaded a screenshot here http://www.primedentalbudapest.co.uk/wordpress_different_themes.doc

You can see that sometimes the theme Gear is 1.1.1 and sometimes it is 1.2.4. I upgraded a few days ago. It is not just a Gear problem it did this with 2.7 and 2.7.1, also with users – different all the time.

I can’t understand if the config file is pointing to the new database why is it getting information from both the new and the old database.

When I deleted the old database information the website did not exist so I had to reload the backup to the old database.

At about the same time I went over to a new server and a new database. However it seems WordPress is still using the old database as I went in a short while ago and deleted the old database in my php admin area and the whole blog disappeared. So I had to upload to the old database from my backup and he presto I have the website back again.

When I went over to the new server I followed all the instructions and update my config file with the new database etc.

Not sure what went wrong
