    Hi
    I have the following error message when trying to access the control panel of my site

    Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

    On digging a little deeper I found the index.php with

    <?php
    // Silence is golden.
    ?>

    Has my site been hacked ? I have search this site and found must comments on this were 4-5 years old

    Any suggestion to resolve it would be welcome

    Thanks

    An index file with that in is there to prevent people browsing the directories of your site. That being said, it shouldn’t be in wp-admin.

    Did you install this plugin by chance and incorrectly configure it?

    Download a new copy of WordPress and upload the original version of /wp-admin/index.php up to your website.

    Make sure you get the same version incase anything has changed.

    Thanks Kayless

    I reinstalled the theme that I have been using for sometime as that was also mentioned in yet another error message. Since then the site is now working correctly.

    I have not installed the Silence is Golden plugin as was completely unaware of it.

    Thanks again
