Cleaning a hacked WordPress website.
Cleaning a (typical) Hacked Site
- Create backup of site
- Deactivate any unnecessary plugins. Delete any plugins and themes that are not in use.
- Update all plugins and WordPress through WP admin. We'll replace everything later, but this allows any database updates to happen.
- Download wordpress.org/latest.zip.
- Download fresh copies of every plugin.
- If ACF 4.x installed, upload ACF 5.x and go through database updates (if multi-site, have to go through each site as of now). Then delete ACF 4.x and add-on plugins.
- Review wp-config.php to make sure there is no malicious code. If not confident, install fresh copy of wp-config.php with correct database information.
- Deactivate site by commenting out database info in wp-config.php
- Delete all files and folders in root directory except wp-config.php and wp-content/, and possibly any non-WP folders such as emails.
