 * That’s right guys.
 * Oh well, at least it will give me something to do.
 * I might go with a completely different theme now…

 * 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?

 * 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_html
 * This 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.

 * I’ve just deleted everything in FileZilla.
 * backed up first off course.
 * All I have now is:
 * -access-logs
    -www
 * Can 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.
