I “fixed” (colored in green) all first 19 items out of 21 on a dashboard, but I am still getting hacked. Almost every week at least one of my 14 WP sites get hacked.

What else can I do to protect my sites? The hosting company keep saying that I should delete theme-editor.php to prevent attacks. Should I?

who is your host? What are your file permissions? Have you tried scanning your WordPress files for changes? There are so many potential reasons it would be hard to say without full access to the server/logs.

You could try moving one site to a different hosting solution.

You shouldn’t have to turn anything off in WordPress if your host is up to date and configured properly.(php/mysql)

IMO it’s time to migrate to a new host.
