Go to around line 81 in wp_config

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

and change it to this.

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

re-load the page and post what issues you get outputted back.

for me to do a clean install i would do the following.

Complatetly back up everything in root folders and database.

using this plugin.
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/
for the database.

Then i would delete everything on the root and the database.

I would do a one click install on my hosting link it to a clean database.

then overwite the new database with the exsisting one.

and then just copy across the wp-content folder.

That should give you a clean install.

It you want to find out where the hack was do a comparision off your backed website files and your new clean install files.

i use this diffmerge its on the mac.

hope this helps.

go to

General->Settings

And check what the email is to your blog emails should be sent here.

As said above to configure your email settings you should do this via your hosting,

POP3 Mailboxes
“Post Office Protocol”

IMAP Mailboxes
“Internet Message Access Protocol”

or setup a forwarder.

All these will be in your hosting.

I you want a email contact form on your blog use contact form 7

You could assign a post to a user after registration then use this within the loop.

i have blogged about it here.

i use the following plugins

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/user-access-manager/

With this you can setup user groups that you only want to supply access to.
So you could setup categories with only a certain access to them say subscriber author etc.

Then use a plugin such as
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ajax-login/

or sidebar login.

Use these so your clients dont get directed to the backend after login.

I am working on a membership system at the moment with file uploads. WordPress makes this very easy to do.

I also had a similar problem where our clients website was hacked.

the issue we had was the hack was using our website as a link farm and sending lots off dodgy links to various websites which made our website show up as malware with macafee and various other virus software.

This was a nightmare so i would advise you to check this. It also showed as a malware website in google.

You will need to contact the virus and the will give you a file to put in your root to verify your website. This may take a while for them to take you off the blacklist.

Make sure you update your website as soon as the upgrade comes out to prevent this, it is only older version off wordpress that we havent updated that have been hacked.
