WordPress Fixes
WordPress Malware Removal & Security Cleanup
A hacked WordPress site can destroy your SEO rankings, get you blacklisted by Google, and leak customer data. We clean the infection, remove backdoors, patch the vulnerability that allowed the hack, and harden your site against future attacks.
Need this done for your project?
We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
What We Clean
- Malicious code injection — PHP backdoors, JavaScript redirects, SEO spam injections, cryptominers embedded in your theme or plugins.
- Database infections — Malicious scripts stored in wp_posts, wp_options, or custom tables. We scan every row and clean without breaking your content.
- File system compromise — Unauthorized files in wp-content/uploads, modified core files, hidden shell scripts. We compare against clean WordPress checksums.
- Compromised admin accounts — Rogue admin users, modified passwords, unauthorized API keys. We audit and reset all access.
- SEO spam (pharma hack) — Hidden pages, Japanese keyword spam, cloaked redirects visible only to Googlebot.
Our Cleanup Process
- Full site backup — Before touching anything, we create a complete backup of files and database.
- Malware scan — Manual and automated scanning of every file and database table.
- Clean and patch — Remove all malicious code, replace compromised files, update vulnerable plugins/themes.
- Harden security — Implement file permissions, disable file editing, add security headers, configure firewall rules.
- Google delisting removal — If blacklisted, we submit reconsideration requests to Google and other blocklists.
- Monitoring setup — Configure file integrity monitoring to detect future changes.
Post-Cleanup Security Hardening
Cleaning malware is only half the job. We also harden your site to prevent reinfection:
- Update all plugins, themes, and WordPress core to latest versions
- Remove unused plugins and themes (common attack vectors)
- Implement proper file permissions (644 for files, 755 for directories)
- Disable XML-RPC if not needed (prevents brute force amplification)
- Configure security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS)
- Set up automated daily backups to remote storage
