Hack Attempt Leaves my Dashboard Blank and Inaccessible

    I had a recent hack into my website. I have 90% of the minor problems fixed, but I still cannot get my WordPress dashboard to appear for me. I needed to change my login, which worked, and I can now login. But past that, I get a blank white screen.

    I have the error log if that would help, but I’m just not sure where this problem is originating from because it wasn’t ME who was fiddling around with it.

    If anyone could figure out a way to get my dashboard up and running I’d really appreciate it. My blog looks fine and functions like normal from what I can tell. I just cannot post or edit anything, as I have no control panel to work with. Let me know what more information you need and hopefully we can fix this easily. (No real damage was done to my site thankgoodness, so I’m just hoping this is a small glitch.)

    I do have an error log file from my blog. It’s showing many database errors for the day my site got hacked. But none of it makes any sense to me. It reads something like this:

    [26-Dec-2010 05:02:13] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT option_value FROM myblog_options WHERE option_name = 'aiosp_post_title_format' LIMIT 1 made by require, require_once, require_once, require_once, require_once, include_once, get_option
[26-Dec-2010 05:04:32] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query  SELECT   myblog_posts.* FROM myblog_posts  WHERE 1=1  AND myblog_posts.post_name = 'cam-jpg' AND myblog_posts.post_type = 'post'  ORDER BY myblog_posts.post_date DESC  made by require, wp, WP->main, WP->query_posts, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
[26-Dec-2010 05:04:41] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT post_id FROM myblog_postmeta, myblog_posts WHERE ID = post_id AND meta_key = '_wp_old_slug' AND meta_value='cam-jpg' made by require, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, wp_old_slug_redirect
[26-Dec-2010 05:04:41] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT ID FROM myblog_posts WHERE post_name LIKE 'cam-jpg%' AND post_status = 'publish' made by require, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, redirect_canonical, redirect_guess_404_permalink

    No clue what this cam-jpg thing is. Does it help in any way? It goes on like that for pages and pages in the log.
    And just to be clear, I did NOT make any changes to my website that day… sooo this would all be weird hacker stuff going on. This issue is causing more of a headache than I expected!

    Holy Moly I fixed it up! Incase anyone else gets this white screen of death the problem is apparently a lot simpler than I thought. First I reverted all of my theme options in the sql database to say “twentyten” so that I would be using the default theme. That got my blog back up for visitors, but my dashboard was still blank and white. So I deleted first the “facebook-like-button” because it showed some errors in the error log. That didn’t fix it… so I deleted the “all-in-one-seo-pack” and TA-DA! Everything works. Plugins and themes killed my site, but hopefully this helps someone else.

    WOW! Ipstenu – You saved me today! I was so stressed, but it was an easy fix as you stated. Also, thanks to Joodie for posting this problem, glad your back up!
