[@searchingshane]

This stuff cant be done for free, if you have a website that has any type of secure information (like an ecommerce site) you will need to buy site security, this costs like 180 - 300 $ .. I am trying to figure out if there is a cheaper way todo this or not, but its not looking like it.

[@simongroup2059]

IThemes Security only protect you mostly from login attacks. The best protection is Malcare or Webarx. I prefer Malcare because they can clean your hacked website immediately. I was hacked twice with IThemes and I have to clean it manually. Good luck 👍. The absurd thing that you’ll never know when are you hacked 😞😞. Watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXyQeKJ6gKmFq8U

[@focustoheal]

I gave you high praise after seeing this. Then I followed the directions. I got locked out. The techniques I tried to get access back after seeing different videos didn't work. A reset of password from the control panel just went into loops.I had to redo my website. I developed a fool proof way to save info beforehand. Regular restore can't work since I couldn't get in. I don't blame you. I see that it has worked for some. But I see a number of others got locked out also. You should look into, or put a warning, or just take this video down. It's a time bomb. I still like the way you teach though.

[@jstylus2895]

This is just the exact experience I had. Now am logged out and can even log back into my dashboard. Its a huge loss for me cause I don't see the possibility of designing a new website with same domain name

[@focustoheal]

@@jstylus2895 As a last resort only if you can't make something else work. Copy and paste your pages of your website. From C Panel delete your wordpress installation. Create another blank website. Paste the pages back in. It will save some time and your domain. Before installing this Ithemes, install All In One Wordpress Migration Plugin. Make a copy of your website with this. Save to file. Before installing Ithemes plugin create a very strong password so the same loop doesn't happen. If the same trouble happens, or something similar, you have a duplicate copy of your website that you can reinstall. Backups can't work if you can't get into your website, as far as I know. I've used and tested All In One. It works well. I just have to install a blank wordpress. Then install All In One. Then import the copy. Within 10 minutes I can create another wordpress site, then install the copy, and have my site working again. I hope this helps. Don't be mad at me if you find a better solution afterwards. But this is what I did to recover my site.
