Thanks Andrew – as a first things first, how do I take my site down? And should I upgrade my WordPress now if I an get into wp-admin or should I wait until I have cleaned up the hack?

Also, not sure if this is relevant but my site is hosted with WordPress?
WordPress 4GH Hosting

What can I do please hack repair guy? I’m not an expert – I manage a small website but want to get it sorted. I do update my WordPress and plug ins regularly.

I can only get to my site intermittently now and I don’t have any backup facilities.

Thansk vancode – yes, I can now get to the site but I can see all the spammy payday loans stuff via the cache view on Google text only version:

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://graduatecareertips.co.uk&hl=en&strip=1

I want to know how to get this sorted out as someone looks to have hacked my header with a load of payday loans links.

Hi – I’m not trying to add it to the pos itself. I am trying to set it as a featured image and when I click save changes, it just hangs for ages and nothing happens.

I changed the file name for the errors that came up. e.g. I change advanced-cache.php to advanced-cacchev1.php

This fixed the error where I couldn’t get to my WordPress dashboard via wp-admin

Next problem is that all my plug ins have been deleted and I can’t access the Go Daddy FTP file manager.

I can’t install new plug ins either as I get this error message:

Could not create directory. D:/hosting/10067393/html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

Plugin install failed.

Any ideas what I need to do next please?

Thanks guys – I renamed my plug in file in FTP and I can now access the direct URL but can’t log into wp-admin

I get this error message

W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove D:\hosting\10067393\html\wp-content\advanced-cache.php.

I found the root cause of the issue which was linked to the Yoast plugin and the catehory name being stripped from the URL. Once I chose for the category name not be stripped, all the posts reappeared. It doesn’t seem 3.4.1 likes that part of the Yoast plug in. I would rather strip the category name out of the URL but can’t see a way round it currently since I did the updgrade.

Just noticed that the new software drop of 3.4.1 was supposed to help with the issues I have above but it seems to have caused an issue I didn’t have before.

I looked at the release notes for 3.4.1 and it should help with:

“Addresses problems with some category permalink structures.”
