In reply to: Wordfence Security says "core files modified" on brand new siteI recommend you take a look at the file. See your hosts File Manager or view the file via FTP.
You can download the original here:

In reply to: My site have been been hackedHi,
17 WordPress installations??
Ouch!Your first problem is lack of segregation. Think a basket of eggs…
When a hacker finds a single exploitable script they’ll use that to hack your entire basket of eggs.So while you are doing your best to clean and polish one of your eggs, your hackers may be worming themselves into another you may have forgotten to check.
Your best long solution security-wise is to put your eggs in more baskets. Otherwise, it’s very likely that when you trip the next time, your eggs will all be broken once again.

In reply to: Can't login to Admin panel due to Log in errorDoes something within your website installation “require” that plugin be installed?
That would be the only reason I can see for your site continuing to try and access it, even after you’ve fully removed it.
So if it is required, recommend you download a virgin copy of the plugin the re-upload it to your plugins directory to see if that changes the error message.

In reply to: Can't login to Admin panel due to Log in errorIf after deleting the plugin error still shows, there may be some caching issues involved as well. If you have a caching plugin installed, try clearing the current cache, and/or removing the caching plugin entirely for the time being.

In reply to: WordPress blog hacked by ransom virusFixing this issue requires a bit of FTP or File Manager experience.
1. Download the current version fo WordPress to your computer.
2. Unzip and note the contents in directory “wordpress”
3. Zip the files in directory “wordpress”
4. Go to your web hosts file manager and upload the zip file
5. Extract the zip file into your public directoryThis should overwrite the core WordPress files relating to login and allow you to log into your Dashboard.

In reply to: Site Hack and White ScreenMalware is often a result of leaving outdated scripts in place within the account. Make sure to check your full account for outdated versions of WordPress or plugins as well. Monthly updates of all will help to greatly reduce your security risk.
Solution is below:
1.
Edit your .htaccess files at your host.
Delete the SeznamBot line.
Save.2.
Located the HackRepair.com Blacklist setting in iThemes security, uncheck the box.
Save.Likewise, double check your wp-config.php
I’ve seen instances where additional information was added by prior dev person, and that may cause staging site to redirect to main site.
Look for the wp-config.php file from your prior install
and replace the default wp-config.php
installed by your installer
with your original one.Thank you Tim!

In reply to: [The Hack Repair Guy's Plugin Archiver] Fatal error with WordPress 4.4 Beta 3Just released 2.01 today.
Let’s see if that resolves the bug.And thanks again for your help in reporting this.
Wow!
This upgrade is unfortunate. I have a good number of client’s I manage plugin updates for asking me to revert to the old Version 2.3.5.The consensus from each has been, “…and don’t update the plugin until the Yoast people change back to the old layout and entry boxes.” That’s an exact quote from one.
Others used a bit more aggressive wording…
