How to fix up a hacked WordPress site

So you managed to get your WordPress site hacked, here is a few options:

• recover a backup from before the hack occured
• export posts/pages, create a new WordPress install, add the plugins from wordpress.org, add your theme from somewhere clean, import pages/posts. This is a big job, and best done by someone who works everyday with WordPress
• pay a clean up service

Obviously the easiest and best option is to retreive a backup. But if you’re reading this far – you don’t have a backup 🙁

You might want to take our ‘unhackable’ WordPress hosting for a spin.
