• So my website was hacked due to which I had to take down my website completely. Instead of deleting just public_html files, I deleted all the files in the file manager.

    I realized that wasn’t the smartest thing to do, so I tried restoring my website to an earlier version. Then I redownloaded the latest WordPress but I am unable to access the backend or frontend no matter what database details I provide – old or new.

    My front end says 403 access denied and when I try accessing zedpointplus.com/wp-admin, it says 404 not found.

    Please help!

    I’m assuming your server software is Apache, the most common. Your public_html folder should have an .htaccess file. It is a hidden file, so you may need to configure your file manager to show hidden files. This file should contain at least the basic WP rewrite rules.

    Be sure the index.php file in public_html is a WP file. The third line should begin with “* Front to the WordPress application…”. If there is another index file like index.htm or index.html, please rename them.

    I’m completely guessing at the problem, but hopefully one of those will help.
