Home Page Not Showing Correctly

  • If a project has been hacked, I always recommend deleting it completely (database + files) and restoring it from a backup. At the same time, you should also change the access data on the hosting. This is the only way to be sure of having a clean project afterwards.

    The manual cleanup, as you have obviously done, will, as you are no doubt experiencing, result in considerable additional work.

    What strikes me is that the start page of your domain is a frameset. Check via FTP whether an index.html exists there – if so, delete it. If an index.php exists, it comes from WordPress and should look like this: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/index.php – if you have more than this, then replace the file with this original.

    If none of this helps, I would still recommend using a backup. To secure your project in the future, please also take a look at these articles:
