Website got hacked and I feel like its just a single line of code changing all

  • Editing this to the top, all my pages work perfectly fine when visiting them directly so I didn’t notice it right away, if you do a site:patiocushionsite.com search you can see there are issues though.

    So one of my websites got hacked and I’m wondering how people go about figuring it out? This happened every once in a while and I have someone fix it but I don’t trust that its always being done property so its time I learn the ropes.

    I think I had this happen like 5 years ago and I ended up finding a single file that was just editing every page (I have over 100 pages), this is the kind of info I am looking for.

    If I catch it the day it happens or within a few I can usually look for recently edited files in FTP but I’m too late for that cause almost everything has updated a few times (plugins, themes, etc).

    Get a fresh cup of coffee, take a deep breath and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

    If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri and Wordfence are a couple.

    I recommend installing a plugin like WordFence.

    Thanks for the reply, on several sites I outsourced I noticed they put Wordfence on them, on the ones I built I obviously skipped that plug-in lol, Ill safe that guide for tomorrow morning, I’m scared to even click it lol
