How Can I Restore and Repair My Hacked WordPress Site?

Unfortunately, this isn’t as simple as restoring a backup as simply doing that doesn’t help you learn how the hacker broke in the first place, taking this path also makes it just as easy for the same hacker to break in again. On top of that hackers can break into your site in many different ways, from using an automated tool to crack your password to exploiting vulnerabilities of your host server or the plugins that you’re currently using.

Regain Control

Regaining control isn’t always easy if someone has hacked your site they’ve most likely also blocked you out of it, and the more determined they are the more difficult it’ll be for you to regain control.

Secure Your Site

Figure out how the hacker broke in, and then make sure that the hacker hasn’t lain any hidden holes for which they can use to break in once more. You usually don’t have to worry about automated tools as hackers normally operate as stealthily as possible.

Delete Unwanted Content

Delete all the hidden and visible content that the hacker has added. This step can be time-consuming depending on what was added by the hacker.

Restore Original Content

Restore your lost content. You can use a backup although the breach will often times go back further than your most recent backup. Restoring, even simple sites can take hours of work.

Monitor Your Site and Yourself

Scan your computer(s) for viruses to make sure that the hacker didn’t attack any of your computers. Then consider having your site professionally monitored and updated to help reduce the likelihood of being hacked again in the future.
