that’s ok, they recommended using https://sucuri.net/website-antivirus/signup should i try that? Client is screaming saying that I should rebuild the site but i really don’t want to do that because they will ask that i do it for free.

For my Mac?

OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.3

Ok, web hosting came back with…

I have just gone over the files of your website and it looks as though every php file has been compromised by malicious code which would be used by the hackers to perform their exploits.

This issue is too complex for us to repair and we would suggest contacting a website security team, such as Sucuri (https://sucuri.net/website-antivirus/malware-removal), to go over and clean and secure your website. If this option is not good for you the only other method we can see fit at the moment would be to rebuild the website from scratch.

Doesn’t look good.

Ok, i have contacted hosting and told them about all of these things. Thank you for your help everyone. I will let you know the outcome in case it can help someone else out there. ??

They are happy to help but I am not sure what to ask them? Pardon my ignorance but can they do a rollback to when the site was working?

I can access the dashboard still and my copy is on my computer.

I was wondering, would deleting plugins in the folder on the server and re-installing them help?

Yeah, do you think a reinstall is required?

Hi Digico,

Unfortunately, I can’t see the plugins to disable them. Is there another way to disable them?

Ok did the database update and both the dashboard were working fine. I clicked on the plugins sections and it said…

The plugin add-from-server/add-from-server.php has been deactivated due to an error: The plugin does not have a valid header.

… for each plugin.

And everything is broken again. ??

The site seems to be working again! not sure what happened. wp-admin is showing…

Database Update Required

WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update your database to the newest version.

The update process may take a little while, so please be patient.

The plugins page said to repair the database. i added “define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);” to the wp-config.php file and it said.

Some database problems could not be repaired. Please copy-and-paste the following list of errors to the WordPress support forums to get additional assistance.

wp_users: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_users’ doesn’t exist
wp_usermeta: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_usermeta’ doesn’t exist
wp_posts: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist
wp_links: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_links’ doesn’t exist
wp_options: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_options’ doesn’t exist
wp_postmeta: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_postmeta’ doesn’t exist
wp_terms: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist
wp_term_taxonomy: Table ‘yourfrie_2015.wp_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t exist

Hi again, just went to the plugins section and it is now just saying “Error establishing a database connection”

Previously, i have been able to the the plugins section but it has said that it was empty. I have tried reinstalling the plugins but it says that they are already there.

I looked on the FTP and they are in the plugins folder.

Hi questas_admin,

It says that everything is up to date. I tried installing wordpress again with no luck.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Phil

Still can’t seem to get this work. Does anyone out there know of a plugin that just does what I need?

Thanks Alchymyth,

This looks like it should work. I read the article that you sent through but still nothing posts. However, it doesn’t throw up an error either.

<?php
require('https://sixclicks.phillipvale.com.au/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php the_date(); echo "<br />"; ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php
endforeach;
?>

Help please!

Thanks,

Phil
