Because of its popularity, it frequently became a target of hackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When your WordPress site gets hacked, you can lose your SEO rankings, expose your readers to viruses, and, worst, lose your entire site data. In order to fix this issue, you can follow the steps stated below:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Put Your Site in Maintenance Mode<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At first, You can hide your WordPress site from the general public until you fix the hack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In case, You don&#8217;t want visitors to find your site in its hacked state, and you also don&#8217;t want them to see it while you&#8217;re fixing it. So put it into maintenance mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are plugins that allow you to put your site into maintenance mode, like\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seedprod.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SeedProd<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-953\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/seedprodpagessetupmaintenancemode.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"632\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/seedprodpagessetupmaintenancemode.png 680w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/seedprodpagessetupmaintenancemode-300x143.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The site will look as if it&#8217;s experiencing scheduled maintenance instead of being fixed after a hack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-958\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/seedprodmaintenancemodepreview.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/seedprodmaintenancemodepreview.png 680w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/seedprodmaintenancemodepreview-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you do not feel like doing it, you can skip this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Create a backup (Recommended)<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We advise you to create a full site backup before making any changes if you don&#8217;t have a recent backup of your site. So that you can have access to all your files and content if something goes wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take Professional help.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Safety is a serious matter; if you face a serious hack and you are not comfortable dealing with codes and servers, you can take professional help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hackers are very smart. They hide their scripts in different locations on your site so that they can use them to come back again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although we will discuss how to fix it, you can use professional help to get rid of it easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can use\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/sucuri.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sucuri<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which is a cloud-based paid service for website security and performance.

Identify the Hack<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First of all, keep calm and note down what you observe about the hack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here&#8217;s is a good checklist you can follow:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0some signs that your site is hacked:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are you able to log in to your site?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is your site looking different without changing anything? For example, the homepage is replaced with any other static page or new content added to it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is your site redirecting to any other site?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are you or your users noticing a warning in your browser When you try to access your site?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When you search for your website, Is Google giving an alert that the site may have been hacked?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You have received an alarm from your security plugin of a violation or an unexpected change.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your hosting provider has warned you about unusual activity on your account.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you notice anything like this, It will help you to talk with your hosting company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 2. Change your password<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is important to\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">change your passwords<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0before you start the clean-up steps. You will also have to change your passwords after fixing the hack.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 3. Contact your Hosting Company<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many hosting providers are generous, and they can help to bring you out of this situation. They have experienced staff who can handle these hacks. They can guide you better with detailed instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sometimes the hack may have affected other sites, too, especially if you use shared hosting. Then, your hosting provider may be able to give you additional details about the hack, like how it originated, where the backdoor is, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is a possibility that your host will resolve the hack for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 4. Restore from Backup<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you recently backup your WordPress site before the hack, it will be good to restore from the point when the site was safe. If you can do this, then you&#8217;re lucky enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, if you have a daily content blog, you may risk losing blog posts, new comments, etc. In that case, look at the pros and cons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In case you don&#8217;t have a backup and you don&#8217;t want to lose the content, then you have to remove the hack manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 5. Malware Scanning and Removal<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In most cases, the hackers hide the backdoor in the plugins or theme files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A backdoor is a method of avoiding login formalities and gaining access to the site\/server while remaining undetected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Visit your WordPress site and delete any inactive WordPress plugins and themes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then you have to install the free plugins on your websites like\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/sucuri.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sucuri WordPress Auditing<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/tac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Theme Authenticity Checker (TAC)<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and set them up on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Sucuri scanner will show you the integrity status of your core WordPress files. It will tell you where the hack is actually hiding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Usually, the common places are themes and plugin directories, wp-config.php, wp-includes directory, uploads directory, and .htaccess file.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, run the Theme Authenticity Checker, and this will show your results like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1480\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/themeauthenticitychecker.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/themeauthenticitychecker.png 520w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/themeauthenticitychecker-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the theme authenticity checker finds any doubtful or malicious code in your themes, it will display a details button next to the theme regarding the theme file that is infected. It will also detect the malicious code it found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You have two options to fix the hack here. First, You can manually remove the code, and second, you can replace that file with the original file.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, if they changed your core WordPress files, then re-upload new WordPress files from a fresh download to override any affected files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Similarly, do this with your theme files. Download a fresh copy of it and override the corrupted files with the new ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Note: Do this only if you did not make changes in your WordPress theme codes, or else you will lose those.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Repeat the step for any affected plugins too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 6. Check for User Permissions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Navigate to the user&#8217;s section in your WordPress and make sure only you and your trusted team members have admin access to the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you see any doubtful users there, go ahead and delete them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1482\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/users-screen.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/users-screen.png 1236w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/users-screen-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/users-screen-1024x464.png 1024w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/users-screen-768x348.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 7. Change Your Passwords AGAIN<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, you have already changed your password in step-1, but you have to change the password again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Update your WordPress password everywhere if you used the same password on other places such as cPanel \/ FTP \/ MySQL password, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We advise keeping a strong password for security purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Secure your WordPress site for future<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1479\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/images.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"229\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To better protect your site, you must follow the tips stated below.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use a Website Firewall and Monitoring System<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/sucuri.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sucuri\u00a0<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is a cloud-based paid service for website security and performance.
