Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Hacked By Georgian HackersSome of the log files I’ve seen look like someone logged in via wp-login.php, changed some files via templates.php, and changed some options via options-general.php. Looks like they just logged in with the proper username and password. Changing the passwords for all users on your blog would be a good idea. If you’ve been hacked, check your options in Options->General, your /index.php file, and all of your theme files for tampering.

In reply to: blogroll spam on WordPress 2.3The wp-pass.php GET is a link laundering attempt that we now block.
I’m not sure how posting to link-add.php would allow this, but I’m digging into it.
Here, try this copy of wp-login.php that includes the patch.
alanfluff, this patch might help. Can you try adding that line to a fresh version of wp-login.php?
I opened a ticket for this here with a request information. If you have this problem, can you drop a note here or on the ticket with the information requested?
To update everyone, fantasycrusader sent a backup of the partially upgraded database. I was able to complete the upgrade with that database too. I’m suspecting that fantasycrusader’s upgrade is dying mid-upgrade for some reason. I’m not able to reproduce that reason. I sent a backup of the tables I upgraded as a workaround.
I upgraded your database just fine. Even with the DB errors you are seeing, the upgrade should complete. However, your upgrade is not completing, which is why it keeps wanting to run again. Even when I simulate an upgrade gone wrong, doing another upgrade completes despite the error messages about duplicate entries.
So, can you backup your current database so we can see what has gone wrong in there? Thanks for helping us debug. I hope we can get you going soon.
If you ever upgraded to an alpha or beta version of 2.3, reverted to 2.2, and then upgraded to 2.3 again, you might see this.
Since you have phpmyadmin access, can you look to see what the value of db_version is in the wp_options table. Also browse the wp_terms table and see if any of your categories are in there.
Hmm, this looks like the part of the upgrade that updates the tables is being run twice.
Send me your backup, and I can take a look. ryan at boren dot nu
