yeah, i did use alot of plugins; so i think i will start using less plugins; hopefully this won't happen again.

You can never prevent things like this happening again you can only prepare for them.

is there a way i can protect my wordpress files or my posts so that i can be prepared for something like this, if it should happen again? I really didn't want to start all over again; but the hacker came so fast it gave me no other choice but to start from scratch again.

We need to find out what plug in may have caused this though.

Do you mind posting which ones that you used? I'd like to do some searches on them.

Sure!!!

I had......

1. Comavatars
2.hide this
3.view level
4. gamerz useronline & post views
5. theme switcher
6.custom smileys
7. role manager
8.welcome visitor
9.quoter comment
10.clean archives
11. an older version of that JS pop up image thingy

and that's about it.

I'm sure there is more but that is most of it.

PS. Sitemeter caught the IP of the person that hacked into my site; should i report this IP to surpass or or not??

I have Wordpress running with several plugins, and never had a problem with this. I would advise you to also post this on the wordpress forum, so this can be investigated.
