Shared Hosting Server Wide JS Issue

  • This past week I noticed a WordPress site had an issue with Revolution Slider. I went to see if everything was up to date.

    I used Total Theme
    Visual Composer
    Revolution Slider
    Gravity Forms on most my sites.

    Once I saw everything was up to date I checked the FTP and when I logged in, server level I noticed there were two folders that weren’t supposed to be there. I quickly deleted them and changed the root level password. I then updated each WordPress install I have on the server.

    The sites all load quickly, but there is an issue with all my sites that use the Total Theme and Visual Composer/Revolution Slider. I can tell it’s most likely a JS issue because the content is there, but sliders aren’t showing and part of the Visual Composer isn’t loading in the backend.

    I went through the server and got rid of everything.

    I even uploaded a fresh database and WordPress install and after an hour the website goes back to this stage where the slides stop working.

    What could I be missing. What advice for seeing what I am still missing?

  • Hey,

    Have you run a malware scan on the site to see if you can pick out any dodgy files? Are all the plugins up to date?

    Jacob,

    Thanks for the quick reply. Running WordFence and it did find a slew of .js files and then restored originals. I re ran and then came with a clean slate.

    I have ran a few grep commands via ssh to see if I could locate anymore issues, but I seem to be running fine.

    But then when I test on webpagetest.org I still get a range of 403 errors on all the js related files.

    Everything is running latest software.

    I have currently uploaded a fresh install and will monitor it again to see if the files change.
