   So I seem to be a victim of a rather annoying hacker.

   I have a site hosted by GoDaddy.com and was initially using Joomla. I kept getting strange errors no matter what I did to harden my site. So I have my wife's blog on the same hosting provider and she is using Wordpress with no issues.

   I decided to just go to Wordpress since I'm familiar with it and really enjoy working with it.

   Things were looking good yesterday, but literally 5 minutes ago, I got the following error when going to the main page on the site. I cannot get into wp-admin either.

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sohi() (previously declared in /home/content/i/n/d/indyadmin1974/html/wp-config.php(1) : eval()'d code:1) in /home/content/i/n/d/indyadmin1974/html/wp-includes/functions.php(1) : eval()'d code on line 1

   I was in the process of researching how to harden Wordpress and this happened. Oh the irony.

   Thanks samboll. I'm in the process of starting from scratch (thank goodness I don't have anything important).

   I've read several different docs and seem to have done everything that is suggested and it keeps happening.

   Are there any good sites/docs that have this info collected? I'm contacting my hosting provider too and see what they can do for me.

   This post talks about the issue. It's not a specific WordPress issue:
