  • Hi! have you gone into the database itself and changed the admin username and password to the desired ones? in phpmyadmin you can view your usernames and passwords, from there just set it to the one you desire and it will default to that.

    Install the plugin WordFence and do a high sensitivity scan of your site to see if it thinks you’ve been hacked.

    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.

    1. I don’t understand your question.

    2. See the links about “hardening” from my prior reply.

    3. Don’t bother.

    When you “cleaned” public_html, you missed a hidden file, .user.ini. Delete that and then reset your WordFence settings.
