Wordpress

A step-by-step guide to moving a WordPress blog to Hugo: back up, inventory, convert with a script, rescue images, keep every link, then go live.

How I chose a new home for a personal blog after a break-in: the requirements, the candidates, and why a static site generator won.

Converting 137 WordPress posts to Markdown, recovering lost images from backups, and keeping every old link alive.

A six-year-old WordPress blog was compromised. What the attack looked like, and the first hours of triage.

Exported the content from the broken site and started sorting what could be recovered.

The first full database dump: every one of my posts now belonged to an account registered in 1970.

The old WordPress site was compromised. Taking it offline was the first step.

A fake administrator, 20 plugins switched off in one second, and a hidden loader planted to stay.

21 successful logins, and the first of 55 spam posts published on my blog.

The first successful logins of the break-in. My reused password had found its way to the wrong people.

165 wrong passwords in one day. The busiest day for password guessing the old blog ever logged.
