My WordPress site was recently compromised. The installation is several versions behind, the theme is outdated, and malicious files are scattered throughout the server. I need someone who can: • Locate and remove every trace of injected code, malware, or backdoors without affecting legitimate content. • Upgrade WordPress core, theme, and active plugins to secure, current releases. • Repair any broken templates or functions so pages display and behave exactly as they did before the hack. • Harden the installation—tighten file permissions, configure a reliable security plugin, and implement best-practice precautions to reduce future risk. • Provide a short post-cleanup report summarising what was found, what was fixed, and recommended ongoing maintenance steps. I can supply full hosting access (cPanel + phpMyAdmin) and the original theme package if needed. Please let me know your estimated timeframe and any similar restorations you have completed so I can gauge your approach and expertise.

Hello, I can see the real issue here isn’t just cleanup , it’s getting the site back to a trusted state without breaking the parts your visitors already rely on. I’ve restored and hardened WordPress sites before, including infected installs with outdated cores, themes, and scattered malicious files. I’ll trace the injected code, remove backdoors, update WordPress/theme/plugins safely, then test templates and front-end behavior so everything matches the original experience. I’ll also harden permissions, configure a reliable security plugin, and document what was fixed so you have a clear record afterward. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Would you like me to preserve the current site’s exact design first, or prioritize a safer rebuild of any compromised templates where needed? I can begin as soon as you share hosting access and the original theme package if available. Best regards, Asad

A hacked WordPress with an outdated core and scattered malicious files is a cleanup I've done many times, and the key is removing every backdoor without breaking your legitimate content. I'll start by taking a full backup, then scan core, theme, plugins, uploads, and the database for injected code, comparing your files against clean official releases to spot anything foreign — including hidden cron jobs, rogue admin users, and obfuscated PHP. Once it's clean, I'll upgrade core, theme, and plugins to secure versions, repair any templates or functions so pages behave exactly as before, and harden everything: correct file permissions, locked-down wp-config, and a properly configured security plugin. You'll get a clear report of what was found, what I fixed, and ongoing maintenance steps. I can start immediately once you share cPanel access.

Hi, I can step in immediately with your cPanel and phpMyAdmin access to thoroughly sanitize your WordPress installation, strip out all malicious code, and safely upgrade your core environment to a fully hardened, stable production state. High-Precision Action Plan: 1. Complete Isolation & Disinfection: Back up your current database and files securely. I will run server-level signature matching and manually purge malicious injections or hidden backdoors across wp-config, your uploads folder, and your relational database rows while leaving your real content completely untouched. 2. Clean Core Restructure & Upgrades: Replace compromised core files and native directories with pristine official downloads. We will systematically upgrade the framework to the latest stable release (WordPress 7.0). 3. Perimeter Hardening & Firewalls: Tighten your hosting file permissions (644 for files, 755 for directories), block direct PHP executions inside writable folders, and deploy a robust server-side firewall to mitigate future injection attempts. Estimated Timeframe: I can fully isolate, disinfect, and upgrade your environment within 24 to 36 hours of receiving server access. Are your current theme layouts built using a standard visual page builder, or does the installation rely heavily on custom PHP-coded theme files? Best regards, Ayaz (Web Solutions Application)
