Do you or your hosting company have a full backup of your site? The fastest and most sure way to repair your site is to restore from a backup made before the hack. * Without a backup your only permanent solution is to repair the site. The guide posted above tells you how to make repairs. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [My site has been hacked.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-site-has-been-hacked-17/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-site-has-been-hacked-17/#post-6281202) * I am sorry to hear your site is damaged.

There is information in the guide for cleaning the database but I suggest you leave the database to last. * Why wouldn’t you want to follow the guide that is proven to remove the malware from your site? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Malicious code hiding somewhere](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/malicious-code-hiding-somewhere/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/malicious-code-hiding-somewhere/#post-6281174) * [@laliz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laliz/) Sucuri is not a server side scanner. Even their free plugin is not a server side scanner. Only a server scan is capable of locating all types malware. And even though a scan may be capable of finding malware, there is no guarantee it will. This case is a perfect example, Wordfence is an excellent tool but it didn’t find malware. * It is not prudent to tell a site owner their site is not hacked unless you can verify that. Hacks appear and disappear. They only show to some agents or OS or browsers. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Malicious code hiding somewhere](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/malicious-code-hiding-somewhere/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/malicious-code-hiding-somewhere/#post-6281162) * Sorry, then the guide is your best answer. It takes longer to read than to do the work. * Unless you get lucky, a manual search is usually a waste of time. The average WordPress installation including plugins and themes contains about 4000 files. The average file may contain a 1000 lines of code. This means if you manually search for malware in the average WordPress installation, you have 4 million lines of code to review. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Malicious code hiding somewhere](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/malicious-code-hiding-somewhere/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/malicious-code-hiding-somewhere/#post-6281150) * Without a backup your only permanent solution is to repair the site. Follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked). * If you want to make sure Wordfence is making the most thorough scan possible, from your Dashboard > Wordfence > Options > go to the section titled “Scans to include” and tick mark ALL the boxes in this section. Then rescan. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Site links do not work in IE and Firefox](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-links-do-not-work-in-ie-and-firefox/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-links-do-not-work-in-ie-and-firefox/#post-6280712) * I can’t click on your links with Safari or any other common browser. However, your a tag syntax for links seems to be correct. * If you don’t get a correct answer here soon, you may want to try posting your question at: [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/storefront](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/storefront). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How To Get Didot Font](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-didot-font/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-didot-font/#post-6278100) * Fonts are installed on each machine used to view a website. The font or font family you want to display to your site visitors is stated in your site’s CSS. The reason for a font family or calling for several font styles is in case the machine viewing the site does not have the font called for in the CSS, installed in the viewing machine. * So, if you want to show an exact type font to your visitors and it is not commonly installed, they will not see it. Your Didot font is not a regularly installed fort. If you only need the type style in a small part of the site, you might consider using an image built with photoshop containing the font. * However, if you want large and especially dynamic areas of your site in your special font, you might try Google Fonts. It’s unlikely that you will find your exact font there BUT you may find something close enough to meet your needs. * If you find a font close enough to what you want, follow the directions you find on the Google font site about how to add the font to your website. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error fetching plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-fetching-plugins-on-moneyonlinekeycom/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-fetching-plugins-on-moneyonlinekeycom/#post-6278547) * You may try asking your question here: [WordPress.com Support](http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/) instead. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error message on form submission](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-form-submission/) * [wslade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wslade/) * (@wslade) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-on-form-submission/#post-6278546) * You may want to post your question here: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/si-contact-form](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/si-contact-form).

Most hacks are fully automated using botnets programmed to look for known exploits. The extra looks may have simply been trying additional exploits. They could have also been installing more backdoors. * Hacks are getting more sophisticated every day. In the past, a big tip off to possible malware was any file in an image folder with a non image extension. * A great hiding place for malware is in wp-content/uploads, amongst the images. Nowadays it’s not unusual for me to see an image extensions used to hide malware. * But from what I understand from your post, your thumbs are real images but are just resized, is that correct? If you can view the images, your idea of looking at plugins and even WordPress core functions seems a logical one. The Media Library generates a number of additional images for each upload, including thumbs. * If you haven’t already done so, you may want to install a good security plugin. I leave a properly configured version of Wordfence in every damaged site that I repair. * I’d be most interested in hearing back about what you find with the regenerating thumbs.
