Hacked WordPress site repair and recovery

If a WordPress site has been compromised, the first goal is to understand the incident and reduce further risk. We assess the site, hosting and access before agreeing a safe cleanup and recovery plan.

What we can help you deliver

Start with the real need. Build the right solution.

No two incidents are the same. A clean-looking site is not proof that every access path is safe, so recovery should include the hosting environment, credentials, backups and any connected services that may be affected.

We keep the process practical: understand the context, identify dependencies and risks, agree the first useful outcome and plan how the work will be tested and supported.

  • Review suspicious files and site behaviour
  • Check administrator and hosting access
  • Clean and update affected components
  • Review plugins, themes and dependencies
  • Plan monitoring, backups and hardening

Questions and answers

Questions to consider before you begin.

The best approach depends on the requirements and constraints of each project.

Ask something else
01How do we get started?

Share the business goal, what exists today and the most important requirements. We will review the context and identify what needs to be clarified before a scope or estimate can be confirmed.

02Can you work with an existing platform or team?

Yes. We can review an existing system and work alongside internal teams or other partners. Access, responsibilities and handover are agreed before delivery.

03Is the online estimate a fixed quote?

No. The online estimate is an indicative planning range. A written proposal follows a review of requirements, dependencies and assumptions.
