Once I was able to get back in I ran a security scan with WordFence and it looks like my site was indeed hacked. Found an encoded include in index.php.

Something evil got cached, which I suspected because as soon as I re-enabled the W3 Cache plugin, my problem returned. Manually reset things so I could get back in and deleted the plugin.

Huzzah! Finally some progress. I was researching how to manually clear caching outside of the admin dashboard and found something to change in wp-config. That then gave me an error from the W3 caching plugin so I renamed the db.php file in the error mentioned, refreshed the page and finally got a proper logon! The IT Pro part of my brain wants to know what happened, but right not I’m happy that I didn’t have to resort to rebuilding my site.

Tried those things but something must still be cached somewhere because it doesn’t look like any plugins are disabled. I even renamed the theme folder and I still have the weird password only logon.

What I think would help is if I knew how the WordPress PHP flows when you try to access wp-admin/index.php. If I could trace that process I could figure out what file is creating the result I’m seeing in the browser.

Thanks for digging into this.

I am using the latest version.

I’ve installed the latest version and was able to create a few simple polls. I see the table in the database but no results are being written to it. No errors when answering the poll. Any ideas?

Yep. Creating a public post worked just fine. Something else that should go in the documentation for FAQ.

That makes sense. I’m getting used to G+. I’ll try this out.

I am having the same problem on my hosted WordPress blog. When I do a mass import I get a single entry from July. I tried the database trick, more than once, and no change. I am running the latest plugin and WordPress versions.

I also had the ForEach problem and manually edited the config file so now it runs but nothing gets cross posted. How often does it check anyway for new posts? I can live without old posts but I have yet to see anything new show up.

Any suggestions?
