index.php reverts back to original

  • Dear all,

    I noticed that one of my websites suddenly stopped working. I tried to debug it and modified index.php file adding some echo line there. After refreshing the website in my browser index.pgp was reverted back to the original:

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

    .htaccess file is being reverted in the same way. Does it mean that my website was hacked?

    Best regards,
    Gandalf

    Hi Gandalf!

    Are you using any security plugins? Have you tried deactivating all your plugins to see if this clears things up?

    Dear Jose,

    I use BPS Security plugin. I could not deactivate this plugin with a frontend because the website did not work (blank document appeared when gets admin or standard frontend).

    I overrode all the code and DB contents with a version taken from an older backup and now everything is working properly. However I am a bit scared. Maybe the right option will be to delete all my server’s data and install everything from the scratch.

    Thanks for your help Jose!
    Best Regards,
    Gandalf
