I got a hosting provider support rep on the phone to help me do a restore to get the site back online. He checked a few things first thankfully. It turns out that when disabling the .htaccess file, the site came back online. Great news. Here’s the code from the file which is now disabled:

<Files xmlrpc.php>
Require 70.180.184.244
</Files>
# END GOTMLS Patch to Block XMLRPC Access
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

[Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

WordPress quickly created a new .htaccess file of course but without the first 4 lines shown above.

The first 4 lines are from your plugin. My fault, I forgot that I enabled the option “Block XMLRPC access” when I was in your plugin updating definitions just prior to the malware scan. That seems to have caused the problem. Wanted to make sure to let you know. I would like to disable xmlrpc access but for now I’ll let it go. Not sure why it wreaked havoc.

Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. Especially on a weekend. -Bob C.

Update – I just installed on a live site and did not encounter the error.

Sorry for the confusion. Would have deleted my previous post but there does not seem to be a way to do that. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Nice plugin!

Marking as resolved.

Closed.

Well, I’ve been beaten into a frustrated mess by WordPress. I cannot afford to spend more time on this. I’ve burned off almost a week trying to make it happen. Ran into walls at every turn. Thankfully, I was able to reverse everything and get my site working again. I’ll simply create mobile friendly pages for the non-wp html pages using dreamweaver. Was hoping to get those pages into wp so I could use WPtouch. Oh well.

Thank you’s to byanofsky and Marvel Labs for your time on this.

I used the velvet blues plugin as suggested in codex for this type of URL issue. The text now displays for all my blog articles but most of the images are still not showing. For example, this article seems fine but most are still missing images like this one. I emailed the plugin developer to see if they have any suggestions.

My next dilemma is the fact that my main blog page (list of excerpts from all posts) is still coming up 404 page not found. I’m quite sure it’s a url issue combined with the fact that I’ve got an index.html file in my root directory combined with an index.php file. Any thoughts on how to remedy this? Thank you.

Thanks for the tool suggestions. Looking into that now.

Wow, what a nightmare, I’ve been researching this until I’m cross-eyed but no fix yet. Still get 404’s for all existing posts.

I have been looking at the db but the only thing that looks like a URL in the wp-posts table is the guid. And according to codex we should “Never, ever, change the contents of the GUID column, under any circumstances.”

I’ll need to look at this again tomorrow with a clear head.

Looking into the database entries now. I think you might right about that. I will re-post here if that resolves.

Regarding URL changes, I haven’t modified any URLs of any individual pages but I may have some issues with absolute absolute paths vs. relative. I will look into that after the database entries. Thanks again for your help!

The wp theme template (atahualpa) renders fine but the blog text/content is no longer being found. (?)

Thanks for the reply. I made the change (moved wp install into root folder) and followed instructions in codex regarding “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install” but now I’m get 404 page not found errors for all of my blog articles. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sorry, I have not had the time to test by disabling the other plugins. I have highly customized some of then (e.g., stopspammers.) If I deactivate, I will need to reproduce the configurations which will take some time. I’m buried with work today. If your testers are not able to reproduce sooner than later, I will try to make time for it tomorrow.
Cheers,
Bob

I found out I was actually logged in to my client’s WP site when I navigated to the site’s home page. I then deactivated the Sucuri plugin and now can log in and out of the site with no problem.

Here is some additional info I should have included in the above post…
WP version: 3.6
Theme: Atahualpa, current version: 3.7.12
Other plugins installed: (all current versions) Share Buttons by AddToAny, Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin, WordPress Importer, Secure WordPress, and WP Security Scan.

Thanks.

I am getting the same error and I am now unable to login to my client’s site.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

I am listing the entire set of errors (below) in case it helps. I get these by simply navigating to the site’s WP login screen (i.e., /wp-admin) and the WP login box/fields is displayed below this long list of errors:

When I do try to login I simply get the following 3 errors (and then whitespace — no access to my client’s site)…
