 * Our hosting provider claims our site was hacked, said probably through a plugin
   or theme that was poorly coded. All of the plugins, except for one, came from
   WordPress.org. The only one that didn’t was rev slider. Is there anyway to protect
   the site from this type of hack?
    Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * It’s up to each developer to ensure that their plugins are properly coded.
    There’s
   unfortunately no magic for this, as the WordPress Team cannot see every vulnerability
   on all the plugins (and there are a lot of them!).
 * There are plugins to harden your site against such attacks though. But 100% prevention
   is never possible.

 * I am sorry to hear your site is damaged. Do you or your hosting company have 
   a full backup of your site? The fastest and most sure way to repair your site
   is to restore from a backup made before the hack.
 * Without a backup your only permanent solution is to repair the site. Follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
 * When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
