In reply to: WordPress Down and Username Lost?If you have a backup, then I suggest restoring the backup. Failing that consider contacting your host in case it’s a change made on their side.
The My CMS in the title, seems to be related to Plesk based on other reports which is a control panel used to manage websites. Again this points to maybe an action that occurred with your host rather then something you have done yourselves.

In reply to: RSS Feed Does Not Validate- Is This A Major Problem?When you say it’s not validating do you mean when you use a tool such as http://feedvalidator.org/ it’s coming up with an error if so what is the error they are showing?
If you go to your feed directly in a browser, then the browser may give the notice This XML… it’s not an error but simply browser saying it doesn’t know how to display the content of the RSS feed. This is ok because your browser is not an RSS reader.
So if that’s the only error/notice you are probably fine.

In reply to: Where from Here for what I want to have with my site?Just to clarify, you want to build a reservation system for your B&B within WordPress?
There are a few plugins out there designed to do what you want it seems, with less complicated setup then the one you described. Might be worth taking a look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/reservation-plugin a few of them first.

In reply to: 500 Internal Server Error500 Server error messages tend to be the result of a misconfiguration in the HTTP server, a common example is with a problem in a .htaccess file on Apache for example.
If you have access to server error logs then you might want to take a look and see if there is an error showing in the logs.
If that is no joy, then you might want to temporarily rename your htaccess file if you are using Apache to .htaccessold. If using an FTP client you may have to flag, show hidden files. If that let’s you get into the admin area, then go to Settings Permalinks to generate a new htaccess file.
Failing all that, try contacting your host, as their may genuinely be an issue with the server.

In reply to: WordPress forgets password on every logino_O
There is no reason to ever change a database prefix but certainly not to deactivate plugins.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress forgets password on every loginThat’s what I would do, and then assuming ti works reactivate each plugin one by one repeating.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress forgets password on every loginIn which case it sounds like you have a plugin, that is overriding the default WordPress behaviour and probably is the root cause. Did you install a plugin recently maybe something to do with users or members?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress forgets password on every loginok sorry a few more questions, when you click the forget password option, a new password is sent to you?
That temporary one if you log in, then log out and then use that password can you log back in again?

In reply to: Log-In Issue. Hack?Have you recently installed a new theme or plugin?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress forgets password on every loginSo just to confirm:
You created an account, set a password
Then you log-out and used the password to try to get back in and it no longer worked?You then clicked forgot password and logged in with the NEW password and it worked, however when you logged out, using that same new password no longer worked?

In reply to: Hacked I believe. New admin added.I would automatically assume you have been compromised and any content should be assumed to have been accessed. You are best of starting to work your way through these resources:

In reply to: Automated url loginI think/hope you will struggle to find a solution like that as most plugin authors will write plugins with additional security measures and not allow gathering information through the URL.
Just something to keep in mind, accounts setup with the single purpose of posting a negative review, which then go on a rant are less likely to get a favourable response then folks using their own accounts and behaving in a vaguely respectful manner, the appearance of calm when posting gives you bonus points.
Either way, I don’t see any good coming from this thread so am going to close it, mainly to save red faces of angry folk.
