WordPress help

Hi Sdingram, thanks for your reply, I contacted my hosting company and it's all sorted now.

Yes I had two clients that had website hacked this morning they had some issues with regard to running an authorized php class which exausted memory, this was used by the bad dudes or dudettes, to gain access to the box, your situation may be different but I would have a good look around your account files to see if anything looks odd to you,

when I looked at this issue this morning, the first thing I looked at was the error log and that is where I found the intrusion, they did a lot of nasty stuff including changing the login so you cant login to wordpress, using a redirect script to display over written index files,

they changed the email address so you cant reset the password, mean buggers.

Later today or in the morning if you do get hacked you will need to over write all the index files, in both the main directory and in the admin directory, you will have to access the database and change the email address back to yours so you can reset the password, (very quickly)

And then change your main user password to something impossible to guess.

Of course it could just be a minor issue, or something else entirely just a quick share, have a good one.

Hi Eddie, thanks for the reply, I just needed to add a bit of code to a file but still don't know why it happened as it was fine 1 minute then no access the next!

Thanks for the reply Jeffrey, I just needed to add this bit of code -->

php_value memory_limit 50M

to the .htaccess file.
