 * Hi.
    the website i’m working on has been hacked and now i can’t use the dashboard.
   It has only text and everytime i click on something like a page or the plugins
   it redirects me to the 404 error page of my website.
 * Please help.
    I can’t seem to find out what’s wrong with it.

 * Carefully follow [this guide](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/).
 * When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/)
   and [start backing up your site](https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/).
 * If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations
   that can clean your sites for you. Off hand, couple of names that come to mind
   are Sucuri and Wordfence.

 * Another issue this may be-check the siteurl & homeurl rows in the wp_options 
   table in your database; make sure they are the same, and that they are your website.
 * As well, check your .htaccess file in the root directory of your hosting; make
   sure it has coding like this in there somewhere from this article:
    Make sure
   it’s the Basic WP from here, too, unless you’re running multisite:
