all my pages disapeared except my homepage

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. ]

    I was building a website for a client, I went on vacation for a few weeks, when I returned, 99% of the site was gone! I have several security plugins, so I don’t understand how this could happen. Was the site hacked? I’m not a wordpress expert, so if there is someone out there with any kind of idea – please let me know what you think this is and how I could fix it. My dashboard is fully accessible. I already tried disabling all the plugins & updating the themes & wordpress to the newest versions… did not solve the problem. I do have access to ftp. I had a back-up of the ‘xml’ wordpress export/import, and I tried that, but it doesn’t work either. Is my entire site being redirected to sedoparking.com? I see that URL in the source code, but I don’t understand why it’s there or how to get rid of it and get my pages back.
    PLEASE HELP! – thank you WordPress community!

    This is the source code that replaced all my pages – even new pages I try to create!:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <style type="text/css">
            html, body, #partner, iframe {
                height:100%;
                width:100%;
                margin:0;
                padding:0;
                border:0;
                outline:0;
                font-size:100%;
                vertical-align:baseline;
                background:transparent;
            }
            body {
                overflow:hidden;
            }
        </style>

        <script type="text/javascript">
            document.write(
                    '<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"'
                            + 'src="https://sedoparking.com/frmpark/'
                            + window.location.host + '/'
                            + '1und1parking4'
                            + '/park.js">'
                    + '<\/script>'
            );
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

    Another weird observation:
    I just saw a URL (https://wp.me/P80KdQ-gq) flash on the screen before going to each page on my site. I don’t understand how this url is somehow now connected to my site.

    Also, I am not sure where to find my missing pages in my ftp.

    I can still create pages in the dashboard… but they are all blank and have the same code (using view source) as the code I pasted in my last post. this is so weird.

    I can create lots of pages, but they all come up blank. I’d really like to find the source code for all my missing pages – at least then I could put them back up later.

    Please try the following temporary steps to troubleshoot:

    • Switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme
    • Deactivate all of your plugins, no exceptions
    • Clear your browser’s cache and cookies
    • Re-login and visit the post editor

    Do you still get the problem when you do that?

    Thank you Jan for responding.

    I did try that before. I still get the same thing unfortunately. The homepage is intact, but if I click on a link, it takes me to a blank page with the source-code I pasted above in my first post.

    Does anyone know why the pages are all going to this strange URL: (https://wp.me/P80KdQ-gq)

    Does this mean I’m hacked?

    Let me know if anyone has a clue what’s happening. If I know what’s happening, I can try to fix it for my client.

    Huge thanks,

    I finally solved the problem!

    I briefly gave my client administrator access, and they changed the permalinks path (among other things). This was a great learning experience. I usually don’t allow my clients’ administrator level access, but I try to make exceptions. This just proves that you can’t. EVER. give your client administrator access. DIVI allows different levels of access, but it still doesn’t really prevent clients from &^^%$#@* up all our long hours and days of work.

    The other main lesson I learned – is that if your site comes up blank, it might just be your permalinks.

    Peace,
    m
