@Tony .. very odd, can't say I know the reason for that, possibly a corrupt db, else back up and clean it then try again .. have you tried using wp security scan to do the job? and try this:-

backup db (say w' phpmyadmin to a db.sql file
copy that file, then edit it with some editor .. find/replace all wp_ prefixes to whatever_
drop all db tables .. not the db tho
import edited db.sql
change prefix in your wp-config.php
re-activate plugins

Great stuff which Ive applied successfully to two of my three wordpress sites. All of which were hacked over the past three weeks. But Ive been unable to change the wp_ prefix on the last site. I had to edit the text, which was no problem. But when I installed the back up twice Wordpress immediately defaulted to reinstall and on reinstall added a new set of wp_ tables to the new tables I had created. So somehow its not recognising the newly named prefixes.

@Edward, thank you. .. for code I use Syntax Highlighter Plus, which having explored all similar plugins I find to be the best of the bunch, for this site anyhow. Of course, I hacked the style to complement the site.

@Danx .. thank you, Sir.
