What's Wrong With Wordpress???

    I'm getting really frustrated with Wordpress at the moment. Starting yesterday morning, I've been having all kinds of glitches, and on multiple Wordpress blogs that I run. Here are the problems I've come across in various places so far:

    1. The login in screwed up on several of my blogs. It tells me repeatedly that I have the wrong username or password and won't log me in. But when I then retype www.myblog.com/wp-admin, it goes right to the dashboard like it had logged in normally before.

    2. I've only tested this on one blog yesterday, but when I was posting, the wysiwyg editor was a bit different (like having a formatting dropdown box, and not having the 'more' icon). Then, when I would actually tell it to publish, it would appear seemingly fine, only the actual content of the post would have vanished. I finally got around that by turning off the editor, but I'd prefer it on b/c I do a lot of lists on that blog, and it's simply easier visually.

    3. On that same blog, I wasn't able to delete posts from the manage posts screen. It would disappear from the list, but it would still appear (and blank) on the site, and then it would reappear on the manage posts page. To get around that, I had to delete posts from their individual edit screens.

    4. A reader of my FadMarketing.com blog emailed me this morning to let me know that comments there suddenly aren't working (they were perfectly fine before). They said when they try to comment, they're directed to a blank page, and the comment never appears.

    Is any of this happening to anyone else? Could I be hacked or something? It's just weird that the problems are on all of my wp blogs at the same time. If so, is there something I can do to fix any of these things?

    Thanks so much for any help. :)

    bad karma.

    ive never had such issues with wordpress, maybe some major glitch with your host/database , definitely doesnt seem like a hackjob from the look of it,

    It's happening with multiple databases, which is what's really odd about it.

    sites on the same server, or multiple?

    I have little glitches with wordpress, I just thought that's how it ran.
    My main problem is that is runs very slow. It loads and saves very slow

    I have never had those problems. I hope you get it worked out.

    Same server. Other sites with other databases on the server (like other cms installations and directory installations) are completely fine though, so it's not like all databases are being affected.

    That sounds very odd. Have you contacted the host to see if they've made any changes which could be breaking your WP install?

    Hostgator said there were no updates on the server recently, and I should check to see if databases are corrupted. I've only had one wp database corrupted before, and I got the errors right on-site. I'm not getting those database errors. I also don't understand how multiple databases on multiple wp installtions could suddenly be corrupted when no other databases are having issues at all. But for the sake of argument, how can I check that in phpmyadmin (or do I manually have to check every database in each installation)? I doubt it's the problem, but I have no ideas. :(

    Some more details:

    After the login screen tells me I have the wrong password a few times, I get this error: The requested URL //wp-admin/ was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Then, I retype in the www.mysite.com/wp-admin, and that's when it takes me directly to the dashboard finally... no clue if that helps to diagnose the problem though. I've really not had issues like this before with WP. :(
