Update: unchecked Concatenate CSS and the site came back. This feature needs work.

I have the same issue here: https://davidjmcclelland.com

I have same issue. No way to recover gracefully from this.

Same problem. Why is this done destructively? I can’t recover gracefully.

thanks going to try rolling back to 1.5.6 after same seen on https://davidjmcclelland.com after updating
…(minutes later) works again at 1.5.6.

I exported my wordpress database and downloaded all media
Wiped my files from public_html
Dropped WordPress DB using PHPMyAdmin
Changed all passwords – WP, PHPMyAdmin, site cpanel
created new WordPress manually (not using CPanel) in a different directory than used previously (drawback: existing links to my blog now go to 404 page)
Changed the DB table name prefix in config to something other than “wp_”, admin account to something other than “admin”
Found a plugin to relink all URLs to new location
Locked down the wp-config file chmod to 600
re-imported db
Virus-scanned media
Uploaded media

This is a major PITA I could have avoided if I knew to do all this years ago when I set it up. WordPress needs to do a better job of hardening at install IMHO.

I haven’t been able to connect this to a specific plugin. I did have an auto-resizer plugin and I uninstalled and deleted it. The exploit came back about an hour after I reinstalled WP.

Had this too. Auto re-install of WordPress removed it in about 1 second. But first I had to spend 30 minutes feverishly rooting around in the site before it occurred to me : )
