Check if any rogue process under your user’s ownership is still running. If it is, you should stop it. Verify core checksums and re install them if they do not match. Here are few recommendations so that it does not gets hacked.

1. Restrict access to files and directories. Set the permissions for the wp-config file to 600, for other files to 644, and for directories to 755.
2. Block directory browsing
3. Block access to wp-config.php
4. Disable PHP execution in cache directories
5. Block access to sensitive files
6. Forbid execution of PHP scripts in the wp-includes directory
7. Forbid execution of PHP scripts in the wp-content/uploads directory
8. Block access to .htaccess and .htpasswd

Is this in your index.php file ? If yes, re installing WordPress core files should fix it. Other than this, look for unwanted files and folders under your accounts. If you do not need them, please download and remove them. Let us know the outcome.

Note: Please make sure you backup the data.

You need to know about Microsoft WebMatrix. The Microsoft WebMatrix platform makes it easy for anyone to set up a WordPress website. WordPress is available through the Web Application Gallery and it is tested for running on WebMatrix. You can easily customize your website and then make it live on the web with a wide choice of web hosting providers.

Hi Aymen. Thank you for your reply. I will try this plugin

I tried setting a 404 redirect; but no luck. I then edited the Themes 404.php file and added the code below. Logged into WP admin panel, accessed the option Appearance >> Editor. Clicked on 404 Template and added the code below.

===
<?php
/* Redirect browser */
header(“Location: https://milesweb.com/blog/&#8221;);

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>
===

No matter what URL it is. It redirects properly. Even the ones with email address as mentioned in the previous post.

Team MilesWeb.

Usually, it can be one of these three situations that take place when you go to the login page:

? You don’t see the login screen and your browser straightaway goes to the 404 page. (Most of the time)
? You can view the login screen, but when you enter your login credentials, it redirects you to a 404 page. (Sometimes)
? At other instances , your browser doesn’t load the page because it shows the page has a infinite redirect loop. (Happens to the addon domains)

The solution would depend on the issue you are facing.

WordPress can also be installed through the backups. There are various methods to create backups. You can use plugins for creating the database backups or full site backups. You can also create manual backups. Restoring WordPress from those backups files is dependent on how you created them. For example, if you have created the backups using the ‘BakupBuddy’ plugin, then they can be restored by using the same plugin. Manual backups need to be manually restored.

Downloading the latest WordPress copy won’t have the upgrade.php file. You either have to update it automatically from WordPress admin panel OR download the latest copy. Backup the current website content and re-upload the latest WordPress you have downloaded. Once done, restore the original wp-config.php, the themes folder and your images/content uploaded.

It is recommended to perform an automatic update from WordPress admin panel. Make sure you backup the database.
