    Hi,

    My site https://justscribbl.in/ is hacked and the home URL redirects to an infinite adf.ly loop. I am able to access wp-admin, I have backups of my database and data. Here is what I have done so far:

    1. Cleaned out the entire directory. Installed a fresh WP
    2. Uploaded my wp-content again. Restored the DB.
    3. Site looks fine for a few hours and then goes back to the hacked state
    4. I read that it could be a vulnerability left by the hacker in a plugin/theme so cleaned the entire directory, installed a fresh WP. Only restored the DB (no plugins/themes) and uploaded the images back (wp-uploads).
    (PS: I checked the entire folder for any content other than .jpg/.png files before uploading. I also changed the DB password)
    5. The site was fine for a few hours and then hacked.

    I need to find the backdoor. Any pointers please?
