In reply to: Need Help with odd issue after last post….hacked??I see only one Admin and no more listed. I’ve gone through practically everything and don’t see anything strange. Should I assume it is OK and just go ahead and update to latest build?
did you LOOK in the database? do not depend on your wp-admin for this check.

In reply to: Another novice that can’t install wordpressyouve changed the passwd, you said that. did you change the passwd inside the wp-config.php to match the passwd change you made? you need to do that.

In reply to: Another novice that can’t install wordpressI really don’t know what im doing now. My site is hosted with streamline.net and I had a thought that they may not allow wordpress, is that possible?
yes, they support wordpress —
all you needed to do was fix your wp-config.php ….
youve complicated things by doing all that other stuff.

In reply to: Intentionally delaying RSS feed…with a twistI have a client who would like to delay an RSS feed for 12 hours, but still have an up-to-date version for readers.
delay the feed where? i dont understand. are you talking about in the rss widget?
adjust the following as necessary and add it to your theme’s function.php
add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', create_function('$a', 'return 1800;') );I dont think that affects the actual feed – just how frequently the widget is updated.

In reply to: Another novice that can’t install wordpressjase1,
all you need to do is start fresh with a new wp-config.php
and pay attention to your edits. you dont want to remove quotes, etc..
use your ftp client. delete the plugin files.
ftp clients (READ the docs when all else fails):

In reply to: My blogs header has been hacked – how did they do it ?… but anything that uses POST I payed closer attention to. (mostly POST is just people logging into sites, but it was also how the command was sent that altered my file)
web servers dont log _POST request variables (aka those commands). You can use my plugin if you want those.
talgalili,
I suspect but obviously cannot confirm that you are not taking care of the real problem. That you are seeing different symptoms doesnt do anything to dissuade me from that idea either.
Im guessing you are picking through the solutions in the hopes of doing things quickly, rather than properly.
I remember a thread, or so I thought it was you — where you were excited to have learned a shortcut or something for grepping files.
It might not have been you .. Im going on a very sleepy memory.
I can tell you that I have “unhacked” hundreds of wordpress blogs, and have had one instance of a reoccurrance..
And your having 4 (at a minimum) — points very strongly to either 1. you not doing a detailed enough job at making sure the site is clean or 2. you having an incredibly insecure host or 3. both
Im inclined to go with 3 – only because I also remember whois’ing your domain and noticing that it was some odd european host (or so I thought at the time).
That’s all supposition and based only on what Ive read of your other threads and remember, and of course, my own personal experience.

In reply to: Broken link to wordpress adminHello Linda,
use your ftp client.
delete the problematic membership plugin filessince it looks like youre new around here, after that you may want to (1) read the stickies on the front of the forum,
http://wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics
AND aquaint yourself with the codex (the link to it says docs):
http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
and its suggested that you refrain from bumping. It violates the forum rules (see 1), it moves your post OUT of the “no replies” queue, and in your case, after a measly 13 mins it makes you appear extremely impatient. This forum is supported by volunteers and things get answered as they get answered — “deadline” .. EVERYONE has a deadline around here.
