Continuous .htaccess issue | WordPress.org

We have several WP sites all hosted at bluehost, who states the problem is not them.

At least once a month, our .htaccess file is hacked and redirects all mobile devices to porn when accessing our site. We’ve changed passwords on our hosting account and ftp account, installed a plugin limiting logins and at this point have no idea what else to do…we are a dance studio so kids sometimes get on the site.

If your site is getting continually hacked, carefully follow FAQ My site was hacked – WordPress Codex. You need to carefully clean the site to stop the hacks.

Then take a look at the recommended security measures in Hardening WordPress – WordPress Codex and Brute Force Attacks – WordPress Codex

If you can’t do the work yourself, consider looking for a reputable person on http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or http://directory.codepoet.com or http://upwork.com

(FYI, it’s not a good idea to respond to work offers from random forum users who have read about your issues.)

Have you updated all of your plugins and themes on the site?

You could also set the .htaccess file from being writeable.

After updating WP core, plugins and themes.
