[resolved] My /wp-admin looks stripped of all design - it's just text! (4 posts)

    I've googled around and searched through a few forums, but I can't find anything that resembles my issue: my /wp-admin looks stripped of all design - it's just text! I've attached a jpg for you to see what I mean.

    The links still work, but everything's bare. Could it be because my site is getting a lot of notice today, or is it something more serious?

    Oh, and I've already updated everything and searched through the plugins for an answer. :)

    Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!

    I've seen that look before as the result of code injection hack that inserts code into all PHP files (not just WordPress) on several popular shared hosting providers. All it takes is one compromised account on the server to ruin everyone's day.

    Remain calm and carefully follow this guide. When you're done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

    Oh, no! Why would someone do that?! :( Thanks for the quick response, James. I guess this is going to be a longer night than I had hoped.

    You're welcome!

    I'm sure they didn't do it to you directly. They probably intended to hack one account on the server, and then it spreads like a virus through everyone else's account. Apparently, something like this is going through GoDaddy right now.
