In reply to: Deleting WordPress while leaving the other data alone?Thanks for your reply.
That’s probably where I’m going, unless I just decide to throw in the towel! I’m too old for this.

In reply to: Has WP been hacked when hosted by WordPress[.]comYes, I understand that. I’m just so paranoid now, that I’m skittish of any provider. But wouldn’t you tend to assume that they know the most about protecting a site?
Sorry folks, for the stupid questions. Even though I’ve been working with web pages since HTML v1, all this “new” automated CMS stuff eludes me. I’m too old for a new career. ??

In reply to: Deleting WordPress while leaving the other data alone?. . . I basically understand the iron-clad passwords, and I’ve practiced that for years . . . but will be changing all passwords in the morning. That much I understand.

In reply to: Deleting WordPress while leaving the other data alone?Thank you very much. I’m reading the 2nd time, and it’s all pretty difficult. . . like I have basically no clue what they’re talking about.
Is the assumption here that everyone is Self-hosted or self-built WordPress Smiths?

In reply to: Hacker posting strange foreign postsHey James . . . thanks for replying . . . i cannot see a way to TURN OFF the job I posted. I got sixteen new responses this morning.
As you suggested I’ve searched for several — there’s no way to tell how “established” they are in the WordPress community . . . they all turned up ZERO in the search.
But it’s time to delete that ad, and I cannot seem to figure out how to do that

In reply to: Hacker posting strange foreign postsWOW . . . I posted to the JOBS site you suggested and got 30 responses . . . how the heck do I decide???
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Hacker posting strange foreign postsOkay . . . we got the problem, thanks to the HostGator geek.
Funny we got in, but he said he cannot help me with WordPress.
The conflict was with the THEME vs. some Plugin, according to him. It happened when WordPress did an automatic update. BOOM.
The THEME was a custom design and the developer is gone to parts unknown, since COVID. For all I know he died.
So I’m helpless, and will have to hire someone to help me fix the site. He did put in a “placeholder” theme . . . which sucks

I’ve published 60-Seconds every month since 1988. We moved it to Drupla which was a huge failure. We moved it to WordPress, after a muslim hacker took it out, and we were able to recover about 20% or the articles. WordPress has been the bane ever since.
Good day.

What does that tell you? I cannot get rid of it because the login page when I try to log in is simply a page full of code, much like this.

In reply to: Help : WordPress bug inserts code into links?I have no idea that plugins are installed, nor what they do.
Like I said, I paid a “WordPress” developer to migrate my existing site to this new WordPress template.
So I have to search for another “WordPress” developer.

In reply to: Why??? rel=”noopener noreferrer”Okay. I didn’t know.
I didn’t do it. It “suddenly” happened when WordPress was installed.
I hired a WordPress “Expert” on “UpWork” to install the new site, and import pages from the existing site.
I have no clue about WordPress what so ever.
I always hand coded until the “revolution” to CMS and Google’s “Mobile-getton”

In reply to: Help : WordPress bug inserts code into links?Yes, there was a java script in the headers of every page in the site, that caused the image to “pop-up” in a new window. WordPress stripped all that out when he imported a sampling 1,800 articles into the new site.
I’ve fixed about 2 dozen pages, but ALL THE REST are sadly broken.
None of the internal links work at all. Period.
It’s already murdered me in Google rankings. We used to be in the first dozen results, now we don’t even show up.

In reply to: Help : WordPress bug inserts code into links?YES. The files are there, and the links should work.
Somehow, WordPress took over the entire domain and you cannot even “see” other files. There are 36,000 graphics files in this domain. WordPress can only “see” those which have been imported inside the EDIT interface.
NOBODY, not even UpWork “Gurus” which i PAID to do the site can explain. They all say “Oh, if WordPress doesn’t know they’re there, it won’t see them.”
I think I paid the guy $500 and he installed it wrong. Now I don’t know how to fix that.

In reply to: Does the “Trash” slow WordPress?Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . AGAIN
I’ll follow.
I hosted with Hostgator BECAUSE of their WordPress optimization, but it’s almost impossible to get any help from them. They have very, very poor support. But my hosting package is supposed to be made for WordPress sites.
thanks again . . . I can see I’m going to have to become a WordPress scholar just for my own protection.
Thanks again.

I’m on my way to attempt to fix it.
YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER

PLEASE look at my other questions.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Why does WordPress not see files in the directory?. . WELL, i had a screen capture of the FTP showing the file in the directory.
What I found interesting while poking around however is I moved it to a non-Wordpress site, and it opens fine.
But here’s the rub . . . several hundred other images, and html pages ALSO refult in a 404 from WordPress. Like they’ve been there, in the site prior to Drupal (the 1990s) then they were there and worked perfectly under Drupal (2000s) and now, having been orphaned by Drupal, and Media Temple screwing me, I hired a guy and paid him to move the site and set up that WordPress site, and they all berak. 20+ years of web content.
