• My wifes secondary blog just got hacked and I am doing a rebuild from scratch. However now that I have it running and the theme reinstalled, I left the content folder. How can I get it added back in so all the links show up?

  • Did you delete all the files from the server? I have had luck a couple of times if I’ve acted quickly that there’s still a back up, so perhaps you can call the hosting company?

    I ended up deleting all the files in wp admin and wp includes. Wp content I left on. The database tables were not touched thankfully. I had backed up the configuration file so the main page is the same, just none of the links work.

    The links to outside sources or the ones within the site itself?

    If the latter you can use a code editor to search and replace those links because I am assuming from your first post you have a new domain name?

    The links within the site. Any post she has made previously gives me a 404 error. https://Www.carriessweetlife.com/sweetlife

    I have the same problem. Only the homepage is working. The rest of the posts and pages are gone. Trying to find solution now. Haven’t deleted any files yet. Jetpack reported that the site was down for 18 minutes, I’m not sure why.

    I was backing up the files (before doing anything drastic), and it suddenly all came back. The menu and links are working fine. Would love to know the reason for this blackout.

    My wife’s was getting a 404 error the other night on every link including the login page. Unless it crashed she thinks it was hacked. After I did a partial reinstall she reactivated the login limiter plug in and it read 37 attempts within only a few minutes.

    I would change your password and make sure no users were added to yours in case you had the same thing. We happened to catch the in the act.
