In reply to: SiteLock-PHP-EVAL_REQUEST-xxxx.UNOFFICIAL FOUNDThanks @t-p
Sucuri is unable to do a one-time fix, and I don’t have the money for a year of service from them. I will check out Wordfence.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: SiteLock-PHP-EVAL_REQUEST-xxxx.UNOFFICIAL FOUNDStill waiting for confirmation that scrapping my site and starting fresh will secure it.

In reply to: SiteLock-PHP-EVAL_REQUEST-xxxx.UNOFFICIAL FOUNDSo, I did an export before I deleted anything through my Dashboard, but everything in the recovery articles indicated that the .htaccess would re-make itself.
Of course, my POS host doesn’t support backups without shelling out extra money, which I emphatically don’t want to give them. That said they MAY be able to restore the .htaccess file since it was deleted so recently.
Did I just bork my site?
It isn’t a HUGE deal if I need to scrap the site and start fresh. The export will have the actual content and I had been planning a graphic overhaul anyways. Just moves the schedule up I guess.
Will doing so, deleting everything and starting with a fresh install of WordPress, plugins, everything secure my site?

In reply to: SiteLock-PHP-EVAL_REQUEST-xxxx.UNOFFICIAL FOUNDOK, so I have run Sucuri internally and externally, and it hasn’t found anything in either place that points to malware or a backdoor. This is AFTER I deleted the files indicated in the report from SiteLock.
I deleted old themes and plugins, and I deleted my .htaccess file.
None of my posts or pages are currently loading, so I am doing a reinstall of the current version of WordPress.

In reply to: SiteLock-PHP-EVAL_REQUEST-xxxx.UNOFFICIAL FOUNDOh poop. Thanks @t-p
Guess I am spending the day cleaning my site instead of posting new content.
If I am not too fussed about anything but the content, is it best to just make a backup and start from scratch?

In reply to: Sortable, searchable, filterable recommendations?Hi @sterndata
So then with this faceted search function, I can make a page and tag elements on the page?
While I want to have a post/page for each recommended book eventually, I am not quite there yet. Will this function and the relevant plugins work only with individual posts/pages for each item?
(The more I delve into WordPress and its functions, the more I see I am a COMPLETE NEWBIE)

Thanks for the info! Would you recommend trying Health Check first, since it won’t affect my visitors? Or should I just throw up a maintenance page and disable everything and try it the old fashioned way?I have full control over my site – I don’t need others to do updates or install plugins.
