Change all passwords<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The first step is to secure access. <\/em><strong><em>Change the passwords for your WordPress dashboard<\/em><\/strong><em>,<\/em><strong><em> database, hosting account, and FTP<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Use strong passwords (minimum 12 characters, with letters, numbers, and symbols).

Update everything<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hacked sites often take advantage of outdated versions.<\/em> <strong><em>Update WordPress, themes, plugins, and the PHP core to the latest versions<\/em><\/strong><em>. Remove unused themes and plugins, as they are common entry points for attackers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Steps to repair a broken WordPress<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>1. Identify the error<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If your site displays errors such as <\/em><strong><em>\u201cError 500\u201d<\/em><\/strong><em> or <\/em><strong><em>\u201cBlank page\u201d<\/em><\/strong><em>, enable debug mode in WordPress.

Check the database<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Errors such as<\/em><strong><em> \u201cError establishing a database connection\u201d<\/em><\/strong><em> are usually caused by incorrect credentials in wp-config.php or a corrupted database.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Use <\/em><strong><em>phpMyAdmin<\/em><\/strong><em> (available in most hosting panels) to repair damaged tables with the \u201cRepair Table\u201d option.

Deactivate plugins and themes<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>A faulty plugin or theme can break your site<\/em><\/strong><em>. Access the server via FTP or your hosting file manager and temporarily rename the wp-content\/plugins folder to plugins_old.

Set up alerts for changes to critical files.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>2. Set up automatic backups<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Make sure your web hosting provider performs<\/em><strong><em> frequent automatic backups<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Neolo, for example, includes <\/em>daily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neolo.com\/usa\/backups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>backups<\/em><\/a><em> in its plans, allowing you to quickly restore your site in case of any problems.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>3. Use an SSL Certificate and WAF<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>An <\/em><strong><em>SSL certificate<\/em><\/strong><em> protects your users&#8217; data, and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocks common attacks.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Most hosting providers, such as <\/em><strong><em>Neolo<\/em><\/strong><em>, offer free SSL and accessible WAF configurations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>4. Limit file permissions<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Set the correct permissions on your server: <\/em><strong><em>644 for files and 755 for folders<\/em><\/strong><em>. This prevents attackers from modifying key files. Check the permissions from your hosting panel or via FTP.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>FAQs<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>How do I know if my WordPress was hacked?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check for strange redirects, unauthorized content, slowness, or unknown users in the panel.

If you need help, providers such as Neolo offer quick support to guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>How long does it take to clean up a hacked WordPress site?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It depends on the severity. A basic cleanup can take a few hours, while a complex attack may take days.
