Endless new plugin search

  • Some weeks ago my ISP told me that my site was blocked as it was sending spam email. The ISP’s support gave me a list of my site’s file that his antivirus found as responsable.

    All the files on the list were intruded so I changed the FTP password and then I went to fixing the files of the list (the file was a php totally fake or there a couple of lines infected in a regular wordpress php file).

    To avoid this might happen again I installed a wordpress anti virus/malware (wordfence free ed).

    After that I could see the site and access its back-end. But installing a new plugin gives and endless loop while pressing the first letter, moreover when updating a plugin it gives an error, some behavior while unistalling.

    Googling for solution for similar situation I found a post saying that the solution for the same problem was changing in 777 the permission of the folder wp-update/upgrade.

    It didn’t worked. I thought that same system (WordPress) file might be compromised so I overwritten all the site files with the files of a new installation (same version, saving the wp config).

    Anybody has any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

  • Since you say your website was infected, you should also upload all the core files of WordPress and check if the issue is taken care of.

    Thanks for the reply

    Maybe I misunderstood, but I have already copied a fresh installation over the old one (if I understood in the correct way). Is it that your are suggesting? Sorry I forgot to mention that.

    I did a short videoclip of what is happing.
    Here I’m trying to add a new image but the same endless waiting phase appears when doing something else (as search for a new plugin):
