Signs your WordPress site is hacked
- Visitors (often only mobile or search visitors) are redirected to spam, pharma or casino sites.
- Google Search shows "This site may be hacked" or Chrome shows a red warning page.
- New administrator accounts, unknown plugins or PHP files in
wp-content/uploads. - Your host suspended the account for malware or outgoing spam.
- Japanese or pharma spam pages appear in Google results for your domain.
What the malware removal covers
- Backup first: a full copy of files and database before anything is touched, so nothing is lost.
- Find the infection: core files compared against official WordPress checksums, plugins and themes checked against clean copies, the database searched for injected scripts and rogue users.
- Close the entry point: the vulnerable plugin, theme or leaked credential that let the attacker in is identified and fixed. A cleanup that leaves the hole open gets reinfected.
- Harden: passwords and salts rotated, unused plugins removed, file editing disabled, everything updated.
- Verify and delist: the site is rescanned, and help is given to request a Google review or a host reinstatement where needed.
Price and delivery
One hacked WordPress site cleanup costs $99, delivered within 48 hours of receiving access. If the root cause cannot be fixed, you get your money back. A site that is reinfected because of a new, unrelated vulnerability is a new job, quoted before work starts.
Send the details (your site URL and what you see) for a written reply within 24 hours, or go straight to emergency checkout. Do not send passwords in the public form; access is arranged securely after the scope is agreed.
Frequently asked questions
How much does WordPress malware removal cost?
A fixed $99 for one site, delivered within 48 hours. The price is agreed in writing before work starts.
Will I lose content or orders?
No. A full backup is taken first and the cleanup removes injected code rather than restoring an old backup, so posts, customers and orders stay intact.
Can a security plugin do this instead?
Scanner plugins detect known signatures but often miss obfuscated code in the database or uploads folder, and they do not find out how the attacker got in. That is why sites get reinfected.
How do I stop it happening again?
Keep plugins updated and patched. The WordPress care plan covers weekly updates, daily backups and CVE patching for $49/mo.
