Huzzah! That seems to have worked! ::shakes triumphant fist in air:: Thank you so much for your help! Is there any way we could possibly avoid this in the future?

Again, thank you sooo much!!! ??

Ok so I used a separate FTP application and found my original html file with the old jpg and link on it. When I removed this, the WordPress site appeared!! However, only the homepage seems to be working. when I click on any of the links, it takes me to Page Not Found…

I uninstalled wordpress and reinstalled. The website is now a jpeg with a link that I had put there when we originally bought the domain. I can’t figure out how to take this down and I’m not sure why wordpress did not overwrite this as it did the first time I installed wordpress. I am able to access my WordPress Dashboard now, and I see my that it lists my old pages “News” “Store” “Videos” etc… And when I try to click view on these, it just says
Page Not Found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Click the Back button in your browser to try another link.
Use a search engine like Google to look for information on the Internet.

scratching my head! Perhaps I deleted a file that was needed for the wordpress to show up? I’m not too sure…. thanks!!

Oh, ok ! If u think I should erase it I will do that too.

I do have that file, yes!

Hi! I downloaded 3 databases In the database “knq_a2m1lhc6lm.sql” I found a <script> in one of them.

not totally sure if this is what I’m looking for so I thought i would try to get some guidance.

I haven’t deleted the WordPress files, since I was afraid we’d need to address this <script> before reinstalling etc…. Not sure what to do now.

also was wondering if when I do look through the wp-content/uploads and find a .php file I should just delete it right?

this is the portion of the database that had script in it. That’s all I found and nothing else. nothing that said viagra or anything else like that.

Working with embeds has never been easier</h2>\n<div style=”width:

632px; height: 445px; " class="wp-video"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement(''video'');</script><![endif]-->\n<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-3296-1" width="632" height="445" autoplay="true" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="//xxxxxx/images/core/4.0/embed.mp4?_=1" /><source type="video/webm" src="//xxxxxx/images/core/4.0/embed.webm?_=1" /><source type="video/ogg" src="//s.w.org/images/core/4.0/embed.ogv?_=1" /><a href="//s.w.org/images/core/4.0/embed.mp4">//xxxxxx/images/core/4.0/embed.mp4</a></video></div>\n<p>

Paste in a YouTube URL on a new line, and watch it magically become an embedded video. Now try it with a tweet. Oh yeah ??? embedding has become a visual experience.

thank you!

Oh good ! I’m glad your still here ! :).

Ok I will get the the the ht access file…. If you look above a couple posts I had tried posting it but now I’m wondering if I even posted the right thing at all lol

I guess let me know if u can and I will work on finding the right thing if that’s not it

Thanks again!! :))))

Haha yay! What do you think as far as our next step ? ??

Oh I pray you are still there ! Sorry if this is rude but I’m just hoping you’ll return

Hello, thanks! Sorry for the delay.

I am using a Mac currently.

I noticed the hack because (and also, sorry if I misworded this)

I googled my band’s website and a BUNCH…like 20 sites came up that had my site name in them that were like Whitedovela.com/buy-viagra

they are still up if you google them but don’t go anywhere. I also noticed they didn’t go anywhere before either… like when my site was still up they went to an error page on my site. these ones are still coming up in google :

[ Spammy viagra links redacted, please do not share those here ]

there seems to be less than before but maybe I am wrong. I never would have known except I had signed up for google webtools because it wasn’t coming up in google at all and I noticed weird keywords in there like “viagra” and I was like, what the heck?

Let me know if there’s any more info you need thanks so much ??

thank you sooooooo much again.

I’ve done all the steps that you recommended I backed up my files and database. I looked at the database a little bit but honestly wasn’t able to tell if there was any evidence of a hack I also am not totally sure what I’m looking at so it could be right in front of my face ??

here is the htaccess file, we had previously used the site as a redirect to our tumblr, but we updated to our wordpress site a few months ago. Not sure why the htaccess says anything about the redirect….

#Redirect /https://whitedovela.com https://whitedovela.tumblr.com/ DirectoryIndex index.php # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress

let me know if I’m even giving you the correct file, lol. thanks again for your help!

Thanks so much for writing and being nice I really appreciate it. I’m going to post the htacces thing here. I’ll start by trying to backup my files I have ipage as my hosting so hopefully I can figure that out. I’m not totally sure the difference between backing up the files and the database (sorry I totally don’t know anything! But I’ll try to start on that and post that htaccess shortly

Thanks again
