Can't access wp-admin?

    Hi there,

    I site a built for a client a while ago is having trouble logging into their site now. I suspect there may be an issue with security on it, but when I try to access the login page, it returns this:

    “Warning: file_get_contents(http://uu.bychefg.com/ugg030/action=register): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home2/werkhaus/public_html/fitlines.com.au/wp-login.php on line 4”

    Any idea on what’s going on? I’ve disabled any plugins incase it was an issue, but it doesn’t seem to solve anything.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, that’s a SPAM/philshing page/site.

    As that’s the case I’d be 99.999% sure that their site has been hacked. Read through this page as it’s got a lot o fgood info:

    Yep, you’re right!

    I’ve figured out when the attack happened and gone through and removed the dodgy code, but I’m still having issues logging into my site.

    It seems to be redirecting my wp-admin to wp-login and showing nothing?

    Thanks for replying by the way.

    That would probably mean that there’s some other issues left over from the code that was injected. I’d suggest that you should think about re-uploading the WordPress files to your server again. That way you’ll know that they are all what they should be. Just remember not to overwrite the wp-config.php file or anything in /wp-content/.

    Yep, that’s what I’ve done and solved it mostly. Was trying it before with mixed results.

    Thanks again!
