• Hi I think my site was hacked. It shows up a submit button and a choose file option but the site is not loading properly. I also can’t access login. Ive been on to the hosting provider and they restored my site(€30) to the earliest restore they had but it didn’t do anything. I am really a stressing out because I did so much work on it and now it seems i might have to start again and I don’t even know how to prevent again because i don’t know the problem.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

  • Hi,
    Yes, sadly, your site has been compromised.

    At a minimum you’ll need to work through the process of reinstalling your WordPress core files, along with a good cleaning of your theme (install theme from an older backup if you have one).

    May be worthwhile for you to likewise run though and do a thorough review, changing passwords, at host, your email account passwords, WP passwords, etc.

    To prevent this from happening again? Setup a sound automatic backup plan. With backup, you can restore your site anytime you like.

    There are good WordPress security tips online. Start from something you are comfortable with.

    Once you have the foundation, branch out from there.. if you go to crazy on Google you’re going to lose your mind..
