If so, I’m not sure if recommendations are allowed here, but if they are, recommendations appreciated. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress Site Keeps Getting Hacked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/) * Thread Starter [GH57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh57/) * (@gh57) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/#post-9779256) * Thanks Steve and esmi, * Really helpful posts. I think now is a good time to switch hosts since I have to re-build sites anyways. * Mostly these are sites I have just been playing around with, but the woocommerce site was starting to get some traffic and sales, so I was just about to start expanding it, then this… * Really frustrating. I think I’ll go for a VPS this time. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress Site Keeps Getting Hacked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/) * Thread Starter [GH57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh57/) * (@gh57) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/#post-9779202) * Steve, * So no problems with the 70+ sites, just the one? * I didn’t want to mention my host just in case it’s not them, but I wonder if it could be the same one? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress Site Keeps Getting Hacked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/) * Thread Starter [GH57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh57/) * (@gh57) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/#post-9779187) * Does anyone know if a shared web host account is hacked, can all sites on the server be at risk? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress Site Keeps Getting Hacked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/) * Thread Starter [GH57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh57/) * (@gh57) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/#post-9779176) * Hi Steve, * Thanks for your answer. * I did that. And I made some really long, hardened, strong passwords this round. On WP, I also used the plugin that limits login attempts to prevent brute force cracking. After 3 bad attempts, locks for 30 minutes, then I think after 3 or 4 lock outs it locks for 24 hours. * I also completely removed the affected cpanel account which deleted everything, then created a new cpanel account with a different username and then fresh WP install. * Have you ever had any issues with WP being hacked? I just wonder how frequent this kind of thing is. It’s happened too many times, which is why I’m thinking of switching hosts. It seems like the only common ground. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress Site Keeps Getting Hacked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/) * Thread Starter [GH57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh57/) * (@gh57) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-keeps-getting-hacked-2/#post-9779140) * The host hasn’t been too helpful, mostly saying keep your plugins up to date, which I had. My host usually ends up locking me out when the account starts to be used to send spam. I have implemented a lot of hardening actions. I don’t have a static IP address, so I can’t restrict by IP. I do not access in wi-fi areas and I didn’t use an FTP client this time around. * I’m starting to think it’s the host, just not sure. Is wordpress + woocommerce fairly secure? * I’m thinking of jumping hosts, but if that’s not the issue…. * Thanks for your answer esmi * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Shopping Cart] WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart Firefox Issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-simple-paypal-shopping-cart-firefox-issue/) * [GH57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh57/) * (@gh57) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-simple-paypal-shopping-cart-firefox-issue/#post-3727366) * If anyone else is having this same issue, I found that if you uncheck this setting: * > If checked the shopping cart will be reset when the customer lands on the return > URL (Thank You) page. * It works fine.
