    Hello,

    My site has been hijacked and is being held hostage by an unhappy designer. I have contacted my host but they say this has got to do with WordPress. I had changed the WP passwords on Saturday in anticipation that this may happen, but this morning, the site was completely down.

    Can someone point me in the correct direction to resolve this?

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    D

    PS: I know about these and used the first method, yet the designer somehow changed the passwords back again.

    I’m sorry but there is nothing else we can do to help you. This is really between you and your developer.

    Change your hosting and control panel passwords, and delete other Users in Dashboard>>Users.

    Other than that, this is really more an issue with you and your designer than WordPress.

    Ok, thanks for the advice.

    I just wanted to figure out how to make sure that when I change the passwords/users, all of the doors have been closed. I tried once and somehow he wriggled back in and changed the passwords on me.

    My hosting service tells me that we’ve kept him out, but I don’t understand how he’s uploaded new stuff if the host site FTP has been changed.
