Oh well, at least it will give me something to do.
I might go with a completely different theme now…

In reply to: I've been hacked. What to do next?Yeah thats what I had to do.
I cant be bothered to look EVERYWHERE for malicious code etc.
Its simpler for me to just rebuild the damn website.
Going forward I will multi back-up to fast restore with a wide variety of choices.
This method is only to be used in worst case scenarios and god forbid if you have more than the 15 or so pages I had.
I still have my wp-content I can re-upload but I think there could be a back door in there too.
If I were a hacker thats where I’d put it.
What do you think?

In reply to: I've been hacked. What to do next?I’m going to close this thread because I have fixed it.
What I did.
1) Deleted everything using File Zilla
2) Deleted all MySQL databases and user names
3) Used C Panel to make new database and user names
4) Re installed WordPress making sure wp-config.php renamed according (removing that sample bit) and editing inside to right database name etc
5) Uploaded WordPress using File Zilla to new directory of public_htmlThis video helps to explain the process very clearly:
Lessons going forward:
BACK-UP regularly. It isn’t hard to do so. But if your in my position now you have to download the damn theme, plug ins and upload pictures, make pages etc again. Pain in the butt.

backed up first off course.
All I have now is:
-access-logs
-wwwCan I start again from here.
C Panel is giving me problems now. Might have to re-nstall the hacked version and go from there.
What a pain.
