Good evening to everybody,
I've found some problems managing a Wordpress website which has been hacked some hours ago.
I've changed all the password and created new users for db and domain panel, for wp admin panel too. However, even if I've changed the passwords I've seen that the MD5 hash I've modified to change to another password, the password hash returns continuously to the the hash of the people who hacked the website. It's like they were "monitoring" the website domain panel, recording the changes and trying to change it again.
Anyway the website is online now.
Anyone can help to stop them and avoid other attacks of this kind ?
Thank you !
If you've been hacked, you should consider the whole machine as compromised. Re-install everything (including the OS if you can) and restore only the data, and manually to make sure you don't restore a compromised account or something like that.

Today I scrape a website using beautifulsoup4 and try to fetch about 16.000 data on that site.
And just few minutes after that, that site got down and can't access about few hours.
So.. my question is:
Will web scraping only cause harm to those who have a website?
First of all, it is advisable to check out the robots.txt file of every site before bombarding it with automated requests like you just did. It is not good for the website owner as well as for you. In order to scrape a website, follow these steps before starting to write a web scraper:
Check if the website has an API available already to make your task easy. If not, then go to step 2.
Check out the robots.txt file which is present at www.anywebsite.com/robots.txt. If the owner has listed this page (which in most cases he will), you can see whether robots are allowed to access the website or not. If yes, then check out which pages are disallowed and also check if there are any rate-limits for it.
If the robots.txt file is not present, then make sure you are gentle enough not to shoot requests to the website at bullet-speed. It might cause harm to the owner and you might get blocked forever from accessing the site.

Hi,
let say im creating a wordpress site, and ofcourse have a database, so the database is populated with the current site, and i have migrate the site and database to the host, now im about to develop a new wordpress site, should i create a new database for it? or create it using the available database?
im assuming that i should have a new database for the new website but i want to hear the experts point of view.
thanks
This depends on what are these sites for. For example, I create custom WP sites and templates. Lots of them. And I need to show the clients how they work before installing, so I have a dev server. In that particular case, I use the same DB and simply change
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
to something else
But of course, if you're doing this for sites that will actually have traffic and you plan to work with, then it's way better to use a different DB for each site unless your host limits you. If you ever have to move your site, you probably won't face the dreaded "50 Mb DB limit", you'll have a cleaner and faster DB, and many more advantages with 0 disadvantages

503: Service Temporarily Unavailable
Too many IP addresses accessing one secure area!
Please contact Support if you need assistance.
I am not able to Open admin page and I am not even able to see any sort of errors on then page. How do I resolve this? Please Help...
Take a backup of all your plugins and delete all from the plugin area.
Install plugins one by one and check which plugin is causing trouble.
Most probably it might be caused due to any plugins like s2Member.
If it is s2Member plugin you can solve the issue from here:
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions

TLDR Version : Wordpress admin interface does not load
I have a WordPress blog, I have been using it for over 2 years.
Recently I have been experiencing this problem. Al pages login, add new post, dashboard i.e all admin interface pages take forever to load.
I tried debugging this problem, below is a network stat info from my firebug.
It seems that my wp-admin.min.css takes a lot time to load.
Also then I reliased may be this has something to do with the Wordpress Latest Update I had done. But I am not sure, how do i fix this ?
I have search a lot on this, but just couldn't find a solution for this.
It might not be your WordPress installation at all (but rather something about your own internet connection or machine setup). The login page loaded very quickly for me, and here you can see a complete analysis from Pingdom.
It took less than half a second to load. I would try a few of these things to narrow down on the problem:
Reboot
Try a different browser
Try a different computer
Try a different network / location

I run a website which uses a private phpBB forum to manage staff discussions.
We have a gmail address for news submissions. All staff have access to this inbox.
I'd love to think up a smart way to import the emails from this address into our forum. Gmail offer an RSS feed (http://code.google.com/apis/gmail/docs/inbox_feed.html#inbox) which could make this possible.
Can anyone think of a clever way to make it so these emails could be viewable from the forum without people having to check both the account and the message board?
It doesn't have to be phpBB specific, but this is the setup I'm using.
Thanks, and sorry for the fairly vague concept.
Matt
It's not very clear to me what you mean. You can use the php IMAP extension to POP email from POP boxes. Gmail supports that. However, I would suggest not to dive into that world.
I would advise to change the way users can submit news. If you're able to manage phpBB, then I guess you're able to setup PHP+MySQL. You could e.g. create a simple PHP form and store news submissions in a database and create a page where staff members can view the submissions.
