Signs your WordPress site has been hacked
Hacks are not always obvious. Some infections run silently in the background, sending spam or redirecting a fraction of visitors. Others trigger immediate Google warnings or host suspensions.
The sooner you act, the less damage the infection can do to your reputation, search rankings, and customer trust.

- Redirects to spam, gambling, or pharma sites
- Unknown admin users in WordPress

What proper hacked site cleanup involves
Deleting suspicious files is not enough. Proper cleanup finds how the attacker got in, removes all malicious code including database injections and backdoors, patches the vulnerability, and hardens access.
Missed backdoors mean the site gets reinfected within days. Thorough cleanup requires experience, not just an automated scanner.
BugShield hacked site cleanup
Hacked site fixes are £99.99 with a confirmed quote before you pay. A named security-aware developer handles the cleanup, not an automated tool that misses hidden backdoors.
You share access through the encrypted Vault and chat directly with your developer throughout the process.
Contain the problem before cleanup starts
Avoid deleting random files or repeatedly restoring the same infected backup. Record the warnings and redirects you can see, restrict exposed accounts where possible, and preserve logs that may show how the attacker entered.
Where WordPress malware can hide
Malicious code may sit in plugins, themes, uploads, configuration files, scheduled tasks, or database rows. A reliable cleanup checks each relevant area and looks for persistence designed to recreate deleted files.
What happens after the infection is removed
The repaired site is checked for redirects, warnings, rogue users, and altered content. Compromised credentials should be replaced, vulnerable software updated, and any search or browser warning submitted for review when required.
Evidence of the work
How BugShield verifies the result.
Emergency work starts by preserving useful evidence and defining what safe recovery means. The site is checked beyond the first visible symptom before normal use resumes.

Build an incident timeline
Record when the problem began, what visitors see, recent changes, and whether sales, access, data, or security are affected.
- 02
Check every affected layer
Review the relevant logs, files, database records, users, credentials, DNS, and hosting state instead of treating the visible symptom in isolation.
- 03
Confirm a safe recovery
Test the public site, wp-admin, and the important journey that failed, then verify that warnings, redirects, malware behaviour, or server errors are gone.
FAQ
WordPress hacked site cleanup FAQs
How much does WordPress malware removal cost?
BugShield charges £99.99 for hacked site cleanup including malware removal and basic hardening.
How long does hacked site cleanup take?
The timing depends on how widely the infection has spread, whether the site is suspended, and the access available. Your developer keeps progress visible throughout the cleanup.
Will I lose my content during cleanup?
We preserve legitimate content and posts. Infected files are removed or restored from clean backups where needed.
How do I know if my WordPress site has been hacked?
Common signs include Google Safe Browsing warnings, spam redirects, unknown admin users, strange files in your hosting directory, or your host suspending the account for malware.
Will Google remove the warning after cleanup?
After malware is removed and the vulnerability is patched, you can request a review in Google Search Console. We verify the site is clean before handing it back.
How did my WordPress site get hacked?
Most hacks exploit outdated plugins, weak passwords, vulnerable themes, or insecure hosting. We find and close the entry point during cleanup.
Does Shield Pro prevent future hacks?
Shield Pro includes daily malware scans and malware prevention. No plan can guarantee zero risk, but proactive scanning catches many threats early.
Can you clean a hacked WordPress site without wp-admin access?
Yes. Hosting, SFTP, and database access can be used when the dashboard is blocked or unsafe. The developer will request only the access needed for the investigation and cleanup.
Does WordPress hacked site cleanup include the database?
Yes. The investigation covers files and database content because redirects, spam links, rogue users, and scheduled tasks can be stored outside ordinary plugin and theme files.
What should I change after a hacked site is cleaned?
Reset administrator, hosting, database, and SFTP credentials that may have been exposed. Remove unused accounts, update vulnerable software, and keep off-site backups and security monitoring active.
