[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Derek! Yes sir! I find always a pleasure in fixing hacked websites. This subscriber was actually REALLY happy after I cleaned his website. Its a very rewarding job as people are so extreme thankful 😊

[@ZakariaMesk]

Well well, that theme kadence is such a headech. I had the same issue and been deleting files and changing database pswords for months it fixed for 6days and come again in new directory. Ty doctor for this vidéo awesome work as always

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Zakaria! Thank you for your kind words, really appreciate it. Oh wow! Being hacked is indeed such a headache. Did you got it fixed in the end?

[@ZakariaMesk]

in fact, I consulted my client and explained to him that he would lose all the website data if we reset it. He agreed to proceed. The issue occurred when we launched ads, and there were a lot of redirections. I followed both of your website cleaning tutorials and felt very happy when the website returned to normal. However, after a week, the issue resurfaced, and I had to start the cleaning process again. All passwords and links have been changed, and all the data has been updated and cleaned.

[@ZakariaMesk]

So i had to reset the website and start over

[@WPressDoctor]

Ah that’s to bad! Yeah sometimes it’s really a frustrating progress. Could be that they had sFTP acces?

[@edu0071]

Nice video, Matt. As always, instructional and funny, with quite a few bassy effects 🙂. I appreciate the "detective" like approach which, when well done, is a great pedagogical tool.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Ricodu! I’m happy you appreciate the style 👍🏻😀 Thanks for letting me know ☺️ yes it’s all about education while not getting bored haha. Have a great day and stay safe!

[@Alex-hn3lc]

Thanks for the updated video. Hopefully I won't ever need to, but if worse comes to worse, it's good to know I can always refer back to this video.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Al! You bet! If you are good secured and you have strong passwords, all should be good (unless your PC gets hacked 🤔). But every hacked website is different so I’ll keep making these videos 💪🏻😃

[@Alex-hn3lc]

@@WPressDoctor -- Yeah, I am always proactive and follow the best practises. There are no excuses to use a weak username or password when you have a password manager that always generates strong login details. You are right, and security is an ongoing thing, so please keep updating this video and keep the hacked fixing videos coming because I'm loving them.

[@WPressDoctor]

Good job and Thanks, will do!

[@Alex-hn3lc]

@@WPressDoctor No problem + thank you. 🙌

[@Skobixus]

Bro you remind me of Christopher Walken (when he was younger ;) , thank you for your effort for us!

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Skobixus! That's kind of you 😍 Thanks for the sub and comment! I really appreciate it. You are very welcome! I hope with these video's a lot of people are helped. Have a great day and stay safe!

[@amolgujar2076]

hi.. i have just fixed all my website which was attacked in the same manner which you explained now. really thankful to you. Also.. i was using this site for google ads and due to malware attacked it was disapproved by the google ads. Now after fixing all the issue google ads still showing it compromised site. please help me out to fix the compromised site

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Amol! Thank you for your question. I'm glad you could fix it using my video! That makes me happy and proud. It might take a while before Google Ads approves your website again. You can try to let them check it manually by going into Google Search Console.... that might speed things up!

[@mariasohail2655]

Thanks Thanks Thanks my 500 plues site hack but after your video is very well working

[@zohidmahmudov7866]

hi thanks for the helpful video! I have a question, what level of html, css, js, php do you need to know to become a professional wordpress expert (or to be like you)? Junior, middle, senior? In fact, why do you need to know these technologies?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Zohid! You are very welcome! I’m glad you asked. To be a professional with WordPress some basic knowledge of CSS3 and PHP is necessary. You can also learn some JS but that’s just nice to know. But the best part of WordPress is that you actually can learn these things when already being building with WordPress for a long time. I learned these things 10 years later just because I wanted to haha, it’s not necessary but to become a expert - then yes, start with free simple courses 😀👍🏻

[@jamesulysse7699]

Helpful! Thanks.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi James! You are very welcome! I’m glad I could help you out with the video. Have a great day and stay safe!

[@marcpovell6061]

Hiya Matt, you ask for ideas on future video guides, well heres a massive one. How about you show us your process from start to finish, the whole process of "Handing off your site to a client" Even down to the "Final" configurations of the working site, there you wanted a challenge :) I dare you...

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Marc! Thanks for your great idea. It’s already on my list! Your not the first ☺️ reason why i have not already created it is because I’m struggling to make it not just a video with me only talking in the camera - so the content is not the problem - i work in a very specific way with all clients that ALWAYS works great for me and the client - but the format is. How would you prefer to see such a video?

[@scoutBerlin]

hello Matt, thanks for the greate content. I have checked my website on all platform appeared that there is no malware ( scanned with Quttera and google safe browser). however, when I check on google search result with site:my website there are a lot of gambling results. When I clicked them there are 404 pages. I do not know I can get rid of them. It is just mess with my reporting. Can you please help. thanks in advance.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! It seems that you already cleaned your website? Then in this case the results will vanish and you are good to go. If you haven't cleaned up your website, some nasty malware is hiding itself for your admin login or hiding its tracks for your IP adres. If you send me ur URL i can take a look.

[@talhaqayyum2963]

My case is a little bit different from this one. I can not access the website also i was unable to access it via ftp.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Talha! That’s weird. How can you not acces your website with FTP? Reset password and create a new user - that should do the trick 😀👍🏻 SFTP should always work from your hosting… why didn’t it work? Did you were able to fix it?

[@talhaqayyum2963]

@@WPressDoctor No Sir. Actually I tried to connect it as you told in the video, using FileZZilla. But i was not able to fix it. It is giving me the timeout error. I tried increasing the time but it did not work either.

[@talhaqayyum2963]

That's Good 💯

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Talha! Thanks! I’m glad you liked the video 😀👍🏻 Have a great day and stay safe!

[@waypasthadenough]

I'd ask you about my site but this evil platform won't allow me to leave links to it.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. Yeah that's kind of KZbin's policy and spam protection 😎. What was the question than?

[@anilyildirim]

After you delete these viruses, they come back a day later.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. If you have cleaned the site and deleted all backdoors/webshells, it should not come back. If it does, than your website wasn’t cleaned properly….

[@anilyildirim]

@@WPressDoctor I do the same as you show, but after a day or two the viruses come back.

[@WPressDoctor]

Then you missed thing somewhere… you can always hire me to do the job, see wpressdoctor.com/

[@Movies4Hub-v6e]

hello sir my websites is also hacked and not opening

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. That does not sounds good... can you fix it?

[@muzamilirf]

Are you doing it for free or not? I have a website they hacked too

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Muzamil! Thanks for the question. Yeah I do it for free if I can make a video about it. Most people don’t want there business name pop up on KZbin and be associated with hacked, so they pay me to do the job 😀👍🏻

[@muzamilirf]

​@Matt - WPress Doctor i have a website which have hacked by Japanese spasm seo. I apply all your videos but none of them worked. If you can take my website as a study case and show to your audience i am here to share the details with you on email

Ok that sounds like a interesting challenge. You can send it to [e-mail] 😀👍🏻

Hallo Matt, het is verzonden. 5:32

Thanks!

[@NLEXPLORER]

Username: admin if you do not change this you asked to be hacked. You can move the wp-config.php file to the root folder. XML-RPC hack is still a favorite hacking method. In the wordpress settings disable pinbacks. Your site is safe. Leuk kanaal zeker de divi tutorials. Gebruik het zelf al 7 jaar als professioneel wordpress ontwikkelaar.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi thanks for the great comments. Very good stuff! Dank, er komen meer Divi tutorials aan 😀
