 * thanks
 * i found the index.php that contains the hack code
 * it is in the public_html folder. if i replace it with code from a backup i get
   errors
 * should i delete this hack file? do i need a index file in the public thml folder
   or do i use the index that is in my theme?
 * thanks for helping me,

 * you need the one in public html, but if it’s not working you may have messed 
   it up a bit
 * You can simply download a fresh copy of WP, and use the one in there
 * Also, if you still get more errors, the hack goes deeper. Read the links [@samboll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/)
   posted, you’ve gotta take some time and be thorough…. you may need to re-upload
   all wp files, reupload/clean your theme, delete and reupload all your plugins.
   Scan through your entire server for rogue files inserting crap, look through 
   your DB, etc. And, you will definitely need to change all your passwords.

   about what I went through learning how to clean my WP install…..it was a pain,
   but every time I tried, and wasn’t thorough, the hack came back
