Two corrections now:

1. I see how I got the auto-correct turned on. Right context menu, somehow.

2. On the site’s homepage, I no longer see all the pages listed in the horizontal green bar at the top of the left-side content box. There’s only “Home” now and not “Home, About, Advertise, Contact” listed.

It may be Friday evening or Saturday before I can follow up, but I’ll look into the things marjoon mentioned when I can and report back.

Ipstenu, they *are* the post ID numbers. When I hover over the “delete” link, that’s what shows up. Except that I’m not using that as my format for URLs; I’m using the date and post title format. And whenever I click the “delete” link I, too, get sent to the weird spam sites. (Mostly French and German.)

Manually entering the link that’s in the hover box, I still have the page linked. It hasn’t changed, moved or disappeared. That makes me think it’s internal to WordPress and something’s pirating the link inside WP Stats?

And you’re right. I do need to update, much as I worry about osmething breaking inside WP when I do. It’s been in the back of my mind for a while.

Thanks again for your help.

Any suggestions then on how rough making the jump from 2.6 to 3.1 will be? I have thousands of image files I cannot afford to lose in an upgrade. Suggestions on upgrade help or handholding would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time and suggestions, BTW.

LOL. Yes, I’m using 2.6.1. Very long story, but basically a previous update broke image uploading and the problem was never resolved as I was one of the very small number of people they couldn’t figure out what was happening. Couldn’t have my Admin not work correctly, so I stopped updating, as what I’m using is doing the job I need it to. But your security point is taken; the problem I’m talking about is pretty recent.

I’m using WordPress.com Stats plugin, from Andy Skelton. Version 1.3.5.
