Hello, flynttm, & welcome. Obviously I’m unsure of what may have occurred, since things seem to be ok now. I looked at the source, as well as did a quick Google for any indicators of compromise, & saw none. Having thus said, that doesn’t mean the site hasn’t been hacked, it just means I may not be seeing it. Still, I sincerely doubt it.
You are aware, right, that you’ve got a message that states this is a demo store? I’m not sure if that has any impact on your situation or no. I don’t know whether your hosting provider’s control has this or not, but some have an applet where you can view any errors that may have occurred w/your site. Also, if you go to your hosting provider’s file manager in their control panel, there may be files in your WordPress installation folders called error.log or error_log that may provide information regarding site errors that may have caused this. Unfortunately, it’s rather difficult to analyze the scene of a “crime” when all the evidence is gone.

Hello Jackie, and thank you for your reply.
I changed my passwords and did some “hardening” just in case it was a hack. I admit I’m new to all of this but I’m having a hard time imagining how I could have done this to myself.
I am aware that the site is still in the demo mode. I’m very close to going live.
Thanks again.
