This just started happening to my site. I haven’t done squat there in months. Just wanted to log in today to nuke all of the spam.

I renamed all plug-in files and turned debug on in wp-config.php

renamed the error log file and now no longer see any new errors.

__STILL__ cannot log in. I have tried the various functions.php tricks. I have transferred various files over to my Linux desktop and check for UTF-8 with Kate text editor.

I even tried this in the top of wp-config.php
define( ‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’, ‘twentyten’ );
and when I do that I get nothing.

renaming the seos-blue theme folder gives me even more nothing as I assume the “default” where ever it is configured doesn’t exist on this blog.

I am not a Web programmer, but a business application programmer with nearly 30 years in IT. I don’t speak PHP. How and what file do I hack to change to twentyten, twentythirteen, twentyfourteen, or twentytwelve (since they are provided by WordPress I _assume_ they don’t have any offending files.)

I’m seriously thinking about turning off automatic updates (once I can get logged in) because this site was just fine last time I logged in. One other person has been entering posts (they have no admin access) and that is all that has happened. I do remember receiving an automated update message a while back. I assume this went south with the update.

I now have no plug-ins and cannot log in. Please help. I do have FTP access to folders so I can transfer and edit.

Judging from the message threads this is an all too common occurrence.

Thanks,

I haven’t done anything with a plug-in in years.

They are not in the dashboard.

I imagine the host of my Web site might have backups, but, I rely on them to keep things functional. I have never looked into any kind of restore.

I have no evidence of the site being hacked.

More importantly, a hacker would have done something funny. The only “funny” thing about this is that it is an almost perfect two years and appears to be some kind of sliding window, just like an automatic purge “feature”.

There is nothing older than 05/26/2011 yet I have entries from before 2006 on my local PC.

I will have to keep an eye on it and watch for future “slides” of the window.

No I’m not using a purge plug-in.

I was quite offended when I found this today. While I do have most of the original posts saved in a directory, it is a real pain to repost and my RSS subscribers will be spammed.

Just an update. After I posted this there was a short lived update which actually fixed the problem as you can see by this post I made on 01/28

an update came out which I installed and as you can see by the posts made after that justification is broken again.

Thanks for the reply.

1) Preview shows the same trashed text.
2) Applying that as a style to the document would hose up the non-justified text like bulletins and such.

This button has worked in the editor for a long long time. When you look at the text mode it has the justification code in it. This appears to be a wide spread interpretation and rendering problem.
