My site has been hijacked-please help

First, access your server via FTP or SFTP, make sure that your (S)FTP client is set to view hidden/invisible files, and rename each .htaccess file that you find until you find the one causing the redirect.

If that doesn’t help, carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

If I rename each .htaccess file, will it cause any other problems on my site?

I did follow the steps in the guide. Those failed, that’s why I resorted to posting for help. I can’t figure it out. I will try the .htaccess file renaming next. I’ve looked at them to make sure they haven’t been changed and none of them have any weird redirects in them.

Here’s what was happening. Which is really strange. I was hosting a site for a friend. They owned the domain name, the domain expired. So, I removed the domain name from my addon domains, when I saw the hijack on my site. I don’t know what the regstrar did, but even though I removed the addon domain the registrar was still able to hijack my site somehow. I had to rename the folder that contained the WP files in order for my site to work again. When I renamed the folder and went to the renamed folder, I could see it trying to hijack again, but then the page loaded normally. So apparently it had something to do with all the files in my site having the domain name attached to them. Does anyone have any information as to why this would happen even after removing an addon domain?

Beware of Network Solutions. An expired domain from Network Solutions messed up my site and caused me to spend a lot of extra hours fixing things.
