Hi Paul.

As I understand it, you have a new clean install of WP and you need to upload your old posts from the other broken blog.

You need a backup of the old blog’s database. It will be a .sql file.

Once it’s downloaded, just restore that database to your new database. Here’s how:

If you haven’t downloaded the database yet, there’s another video on our site which will show you how to “back up” your database.

Once you restore that old database, your posts should be back.

It was working for me just fine. Did you get it fixed?

Using IE8

I know, it is a bit frustrating, isn’t it? I believe it has something to do with how these different programs measure things.

Most people use and trust Google Analytics. There’s an interesting discussion going on about stat programs found on a blog called Blogging Without A Blog.

There’s also an advance program called Woopra many people like. And if you’re looking for an actual php program that installs on your server, look into phpMyVisits: http://www.phpmyvisites.us/

Have you tried disabling plugins? Could be one of those causing a problem.

Make sure for some weird reason there is no redirects in your root .htaccess file.

Go to your style.css file and look for this chunk of code:

#featured-th {
height:57px;
margin:0 0 30px;
}

Either comment it out with /* and ending */ or set all values to 0px.

Check how it looks in Internet Explorer, too. If you have an ie7.css file, you’ll need to change the same values there, too.

Make sure to check out this article, too:

I’ve also blogged about security tips on our blog. Check the tag cloud for security topics or the WordPress category.

777 for everything is definitely not right. Also, install the Blue Trait Event Viewer plugin so you can see what all your WordPress installation is doing (emails sent out, unauthorized logins, etc.). Make sure to lock down the plugin so it can’t easily be deactivated (see the instructions).

Try this Google Search. Basically you can do it through .htacess.

I’ve never found the need to rewrite to www so I haven’t experimented with it, but that’s how you’d do it.

You can try hardening your WordPress blog but keep in mind a few things.

1. If the hacker is getting in through the server (your host), there’s nothing you can do about it.

2. If they are already hacking into your system, it might be hard to clean out everything they’ve done. One of the first things a hacker will do (or should if that’s their trade) is make sure your blog is easily hackable for anyone else.

Also, to go through line by line of your code to find all infected areas might be like searching for a needle in a haystack. If your site isn’t too big, you may consider a new install.

SEO Egghead has a great Firewall plugin. Also, you can install the Event Viewer plugin to see when things change in your blog. There’s a way to lock it down, too, so no one can deactivate the plugin (do this through your hosting control panel). Might give you some insights to where the people are doing things.

We also provide security services, however, nothing is ever full proof, especially if your site’s been hacked over and over again. Hopefully, it’s just some script sitting somewhere and not multiple hacks.

Good luck.
