I found a plugin (eggplant 301 redirect) that does just what I wanted, so it’s ok if there’s no code to get the same result.

And once again, thanks for your time!

If that is an indication, can I ask you to visit andam.fr (French org that hands out fashion awards and grants to young designers)? You’ll see that when you type (or past) it just like that in your browser, it will turn by itself from andam.fr to andam.fr/fr.

That’s exactly what I’d like to do.

the domain is :
-marchioness.fr/en for the English version,
-marchioness.fr/fr for the French version
on marchioness.fr, there’s nothing, but it’s the domain I have bought.

I’ll take a look at your last link.

Oh, and one last question.
I realise that I might not have been very clear…

I only need mydomain.fr to redirect to mydomain.fr/fr, that’s all, there is no redirection needed for the english version as the url is perfect as it is.
And I haven’t posted anything from the mydomain.fr admin, everything is on mydomain.fr/fr. So what I’d like is, when someone types mydomain.fr, s/he’ll be automatically redirected to mydomain.fr/fr, and from that, s/he can stay on the French version or switch to the English version.

If there’s a code that I can write on .htaccess, I’d rather do that than have a plugin that might not be compatible with yours.

In any case, thank you for your time.

Thanks for your answer, I’ll try that.

Hi,

I want to do this for “cosmetic” reasons. I have a multisite (French and English version), and when one goes from a site to a multisite, the url goes like this:

mydomain.fr/blog/something-something, and I’d want it to look like this
mydomain.fr/fr/something-something and mydomain.fr/en/something-something,
as it looks more profesional, and the structure would be the same for the 2 versions.

Does this answer your questions?

Ah great, thanks ! My biggest fear was that I might lose the possibility to use the same URL. I have a lot of work ahead of me but at least, there’s a way out of this mess.

Many thanks for your help, Istenu!

Oh, that’s bad news :(. And this brings me to my first question: is it possible to bin everything and start a new multisite with the same URL ?

Ha, I realise that I might not have been clear. When my site was hacked back in November, I was advised to change the login and password through phpMyAdmin following the steps as described in the link you added to your message. That’s how I got my site back.

Now that every now and then those hash password appear, I use the same method to reset my password. Unfortunately, it lasts until I close the phpMyAdmin page. When I open it again, a new password is there.

But if there’s a better and permanent way to change the password once and for all, I’d be more than happy to learn to do it. ??

Now I’m confused…
I change the password through phpMyAdmin as explained on the 4 bullet point :

All the tables in your database will appear. If not, click Structure.
Look for wp_users.
Click on the icon for browse.
Locate your Username under user_login
Click edit (may look like a pencil icon in some versions of phpMyAdmin)

Your user_id will be shown, click on Edit
Next to the user_pass is a long list of numbers and letters.
Select and delete these and type in your new password.
Type in the password you want to use. Just type it in normally, but remember, it is case-sensitive.
In this example, the new password will be ‘rabbitseatcarrots’
Once you have done that, click the dropdown menu indicated, and select MD5 from the menu.

Check that your password is actually correct, and that MD5 is in the box.

Do you recommand another method?

Dear Lord! Out of curiosity, I googled the $p$ part and I just saw that it was (but is it?) a WordPress-generated hash password.
If it’s the case, why on earth does this happen and how can I get rid of that?

The good news (if it is indeed a WP hash password) is that hackers are not messing with me.

WordPress is hard sometimes! ??

Hi Ipstenu,

I did everything you said, and I still have the same issue. I need to access the wp_users through cPanel to put the passwords back before I can log in, because another one is already there.

I even created a new (super-)admin so that I could get rid of everything past, and not only I couldn’t delete the former super-admin but now I have 2 bogus passwords that look like this:

-$P$Bc1j8e4yZEzzE0peiXYwzdVSk6OrhV1
-$P$s/tQaylXleZy8O0r95HsO6KLCdOT0

It’s driving me insane ! And that’s why I initially thought of binning everything and starting from scratch, but with my URL, though.
What shoud I do? (And how one can suppress a super-admin?)

Thanks!

Ah ok, thanks for letting me know, I was worried that they could do such a thing. I’ll do just as you say. Thanks!

Yes, I’ll definitely do that, I’ve teared way too much of my hair to do something stupid and become even more miserable that I already am!

But the thing is, I don’t know if the hackers have infected the uploads (I’ve read somewhere that they could insert re-direction into pictures, things like that) and I kept all my photos and articles in files that I have in a USB-drive, so I wouldn’t mind uploading them again. At least, I’ll know that they don’t have bad stuff in them…

Oh, it sounds easy to do. However, may I ask what you mean by core WP files? Is it all the files in wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes?

Thanks
