Hello Enfold,

I am working with a client's site that is using the WordPress Enfold theme.
org-consult.com

It seems a while back, the site was hacked. I believe due diligence for the site's security has been done. However, there is still a mess of "pages" to be cleaned out.

EXAMPLES
http://www.org-consu...riting-services
http://www.org-consu...our-best-friend

I think there are potentially around a thousand of them - this based on our Google Analytics (which is how they were discovered in the first place).

Our site is hosted with GoDaddy and they can give us no support with this.

Also, these "pages" do not exist in the ADMIN of the site; neither as pages or posts.

My concern with messing with the Db on my own is that it looks to me that the Enfold theme uses post elements for elements contained on a page - and that the default WordPress structure does, too.

With my limited knowledge, I am liable to blow-out real content in attempting to delete these "pages".

Can you help direct me with the clean-up?

Sincerely,
Greg

Do you have FTP access? if so, first download the home directory where the blog is located. Next delete everything except wp-config.php, open wp-config.php in a text editor like notepad++ and look for unknown characters or code added to the end of the file. Or better yet, copy the database name, password, and server into a new config file. Upload fresh Wordpress and theme files. Replace any theme customizations and upload logo and other graphics that were changed or created from backup.

Hello G2G Admin,

 

Thanks for the response... it wasn't the config file.

 

I finally found two "burried" .js files that were creating the mess.

 

Site seems clean now...

Good news. If you haven't already,setup WordPress to auto update the core and plugins. Most hacks are caused by outdated software. pleasehttps://codex.wordpr...kground_Updates
