Title: wp-admin blocked by rogue code Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # wp-admin blocked by rogue code * [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/) * My wp-admin is inaccessible due to a code that has been placed somewhere in the theme functions file in the backend of the site. I have tried accessing the FTP for the site using CyberDuck however I really need to access the actual back end of the wordpress site. The code is somewhere in the functions-file page * << – add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘shortcode_unautop’); add_filter( ‘widget_text’,‘ do_shortcode’); >> * Is there a way to access the actual page and not just access the FTP for this site? I know that if I could access the backend I can find this code and remove it. * the WordPress site is [http://www.deddog.com](http://www.deddog.com) You can see the url blockage if you type in deddog.com/wp-admin Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721384) * Can you get in here? * [http://www.deddog.com/wp-login.php](http://www.deddog.com/wp-login.php) * Thread Starter [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721419) * I cannot. I’m being told to enable cookies for my browser (Chrome). Which I have already done. I’m assuming this is another issue however it may be from the rogue code. * ***cookies are enabled. attempts to sign in request to enable cookies. * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721421) * OK, you’re going to have to login using FTP then. Simply navigate to wp-content/ your-theme/ then download and edit functions.php, then re-upload. * Thread Starter [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721427) * Ok thanks. * This is using CyberDuck as the FTP device, correct? * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721429) * Sure, it’s not my favourite but it’ll do 🙂 * Thread Starter [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721431) * Okay, I’ve found and deleted the rogue code. And saved the updated file. Can you give me the steps to re-upload this revised file please? * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721432) * Select it in CyberDuck and hit upload. You could probably drag and drop it into the directory on the remote server. * Thread Starter [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721438) * Will I need to delete the old file? * [Dave Naylor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpranger/) * (@wpranger) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721440) * It should overwrite it, probably asking you if that’s OK if before it does. * Thread Starter [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721472) * I removed the code and the file was overwritten. * New error page has appeared.

Can you upload a clean functions.php file from your downloaded them? * Thread Starter [oliver.athabasca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliverathabasca/) * (@oliverathabasca) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-blocked-by-rogue-code/#post-4721497) * OOPS. * Sorry for the time delay, I’m working from Indonesia. Only functions file I can see is the one that is replaced. Which is the exact replica minus one line of code. * Can this be fixed?
