Ya, it's been hacked. All of my content is gone and it has a post called YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED BY BLOGBURGLAR
WTF......Grrrrr. I'm reinstalling everything. Someone must have figured out my password. Oh well, I am reinstalling the whole thing and starting over with a new password. At least I have the content still.
Can I fix it or do I just have to reinstall everything?
WTF?
YARGH! Could mirror a blog easily using rss. if one gets hacked pull the feed back into the hacked one from non-hacked. Autoblogger Pro does this perfectly. I am backing up one blog to another install, and if I want to get anything back I just reverse them.
I seo'd my hair yesterday and today it's pr7!

so autoblogger prevents this from happening... aight?
No. It won't prevent it, it'll save your site if it does. It's not meant for this at all, but can do it. I am doing it with my demo site. I have an exact duplicate of every post made on one pulled by another. If the main one was to get hacked, I could simply set the one that was hacked to pull all the posts back in from the other.
Damn! Lots of ramblin' there YARGH!

I'm not much of a technical guy, but for one of my hosts all i have to do is log into cpanel and click on the backup icon and it click a few more times to backup all of my mysql databases.
I have been bad and not backing up my WordPress MySQL database.
Is there a quick way to do this on multiple blogs?
IO have a cron job setup for all my db ( wordpress, shopping carts, etc...). It emails me one a day the DB, so I actually have a copy on MY system.
To prevent more hacking: rename the folder and page of the admin for something else, and do the corresponding changes in the php files. If the hacker doesn't know were it is or how it is called, it makes it way more difficult.
I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !
But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....
Sorry, meant to mention in my post about your actual question. It depends on what has been done to the site I guess. Have you actually checked the DB to see if the data is still there. Just a thought.

That's only IF your host has gotten CPanel to update their stuff. Using this and ZenCart myself, I can tell you that CPanel is about two to three releases behind normally. I don't trust cPanel to update. That's my job.
Go to the WordPress website. Go to the Download Page. They will have listed there the current version of the software. Check your current version (at the bottom of any Wordpress admin page) If you have to update, download the software. Unzip it to your local PC.
FTP to your site. IF you have done your theme the proper way (using the wordpress tools) then you just need to upload the software over top of the existing software (after backing it up and backing up the SQL database of course). If not, then copy the files that are your theme to a local directoy on your PC, backup the current version and upload the new install. Rename the "Install" directory and CHMOD one of the files in the "admin" folder to 444 so it can't be changed. Put your theme back in place if you need to.
Go and check your blog out and make sure everything is working correctly and that's it. Takes about 10 minutes or so.
