I can get into the site via ftp and phpmyadmin but as you see, have NO CLUE what I’m doing…… * Chris * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9724308) * That is correct. It looks like I’m making progress: * willrunfor.com/blog is working and looks like I’ll be able to try fixing * willrunfor.com still sends me to shop.willrunfor.com and a 400 error which I don’t know why. * I found out that Yahoo doesn’t allow htaccess so not sure how that’s going to work. * And they force me to use the /blog directory so none of my links or images are automatically popping up…. ugh * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9723757) * Both are correct in the general settings. [http://www.willrunfor.com](http://www.willrunfor.com) sends me to shop.willrunfor.com which gives me error 400 – Bad Request…. And willrunfor.com/blog results in nothing but a white screen. * Didn’t know now that I have the export file if it’d be easiest to wipe everything, fresh install and import at this point or not? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9722150) * So…. Good news and (maybe) bad news…. SOMEHOW… I must have made the correct changed to the database and or the config files as I can now click through via [http://willrunfor.com/blog/wp-admin/](http://willrunfor.com/blog/wp-admin/) and get into the site. * I SEE MY PAGES AND POSTS!!!!! But only in the admin side…. When visit the site via url willrunfor.com it pushes me to a subdomain which I used for an attempt at an online store and no pages or landing page appear. * Same thing with willrunfor.com/blog/ which is where WordPress is housed. Just a white page. * I was, however, able to export everything like you mentioned. With the xml export file now in hand is it easier to attempt fixing whatever these two issues are or wiping the slate clean again, installing a fresh copy of WordPress and then importing this file? * I’m SOOOOOOOOO VERY sorry to keep bugging you, but you’re my only hope! * Chris * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9721906) * James, the last seems like the easiest for me at this point. The only problem I had was that, since it was hacked and the site was loaded with malware, HostGator would not reinstate my website until I paid to have it professionally cleaned, which was why I went into the malware.txt file, deleted everything and wanted to move to another server so all passwords, possible old themes and or plugins would be gone. * Even if I have it pointed back to the old name server is there a way to get into the wordpress admin section without them making my site available via the web? * I found out that my site was hacked when I visited and saw a Hostgator, contact us page… * Chris * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9720206) * I figured I could just get the pages and posts and images out of the old server as the hackers got the site with malware. The pages and posts and images are the only thing I cared about as I figured even if I had to recreate everything else, those were the important pieces * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9720201) * I downloaded the entire directory where files used to be and uploaded it to the new server. I then exported and imported the two wordpress MySQL databases as I had one main one and one on a sub directory. * Based on everything I’ve read this seems like it should take minutes, not many many hours like I’ve spent lol * Chris * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked, Lost and Ready to Give Up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/) * Thread Starter [cherman99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cherman99/) * (@cherman99) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-lost-and-ready-to-give-up/#post-9720168) * Hi James, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I’ve sat down and started with a clean slate several times now and have been un able to get things working…. * I’m either not doing something right, or simply not able to comprehend what I need to do. Was definitely proud of my little blog site and had some pages that meant a lot but it definitely doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to restore them…. * Chris * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Content Views - Post Grid & Filter, Recent Posts, Category Posts ...
