In reply to: So I got hacked, 3 hours ago….You can view the backup of your database in a text editor. It might be gzipped and you will need to unarchive it. Would view it yourself for the posts. Don’t take the tech’s word for it. But if in fact the table was deleted and your only backup was the one you JUST made then they are gone. Possibly other portions of the database are also gone.
If the table was actually deleted then have to beleive either it was a break-in to your cPanel (doubtful) or they had shell (telnet/SSH) access to the server. So before rebuilding your site, might be time to move to a new host. You will have no way of knowing if MP fixed their security issue. Sounds like the hacker obtained root access based on your not able to manage the db.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: correct folder permission for blogs.dir and uploadsYou might want to contact your host. Its possible you do need 777 but not very secure. Might also look at the Owner/group for the directories. Might be an error in that. And try disabling plugins to see if one is causing this issue.
Otherwise, take a look at this post:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/file-permissions-for-plugin
This was an issue where because of how the host has their servers they require using cgiwrap which is a workaround to not have to use 777 which is world-writeable. In case it applies to your host.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: So I got hacked, 3 hours ago….First it sounds like you would not have rights to delete the database or even Drop all the tables.
Second (more importantly) you may not have rights to create a new one and/or import the backup database. You did say you have a Backup of the DB? Would do an Export/backup of the database right now if you can. Yoiu can then atleast view it in a text editor.Remember all your posts, pages and config are in the database.

In reply to: So I got hacked, 3 hours ago….And is USER ID 1 the User you are logging in with? Sometimes hackers will change the names around.
Just re-reading your earlier post. Your problem is being able to make changes within PhpMyadmin? Then the database User account has lost rights to the WP database. That could be the OTHER Password MP said was accessed. Might not even be YOUR Account but maybe a root or other server level account. You need to see if MP can fix your access from the sound of it.
Then you in phpmyadmin Should delete that DB User account for WP; Create a new User account; Add Full privledges for that User to the WP DB; Edit your WP-Config.php for the new user and password.

In reply to: wordpress on Yahoo troubleI have never been able to get WP 100% on Yahoo hosting in the last couple of years. Most of the servers are badly out-of-date or needed functionality is disabled.
Would recommend the hosting companies on the front of this site.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Can I upload a custom page to my wordpress blog?You can sort of. You can make it a template then when you create a Page in WP, select it as the template for the page.
See:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_TemplatesThe problem you may have is the templates/graphics iWeb uses. Not sure if it can all be moved. Not even sure if it can be moved.

In reply to: So I got hacked, 3 hours ago….If a hosting company admits there servers were vulnerable to an attack they are out of business within a day.
But if they said “other passwords” were changed it sounds like they mean FTP/SSH access. I don’t want to explain how its done but hackers can capture these passwords on servers with bad security.For the access for Admin issue you need to check the database. Should be for wp_usermeta:
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}Assuming this is User ID 1.

In reply to: I upgraded and now all my posts are missingFirst try disabling plugins. Upgrading WP and using older plugins can cause this.
Try the default theme.
Let me know if you still have an issue. The Posts are most likely all there. If you have access (through a control panel) look for PhpMyAdmin and you can view/browse your WP database and you will probably find your posts. That means there is a seperate issue causing the problemForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Contact Form 7] [Plugin: Contact Form 7] Contact Form Text Box ColorsChange it in the plugin stylesheet. You need border-left-color, border-top-color, etc.
In addition to the conflict, Since HS2 says only supports up to 2.9.2 and 14 people say it is broken while only 2 say it works, you might not want to use that plugin.
