My WordPress site has been compromised with malicious code and needs a cleanup. It happened a few months ago and my website has been down since then. I have no backups to roll back past this period. You will need to: • Run a comprehensive scan (WP-CLI, Wordfence, Sucuri, or similar) and remove every malicious file, injection, or database entry • Restore core, theme, and plugin integrity without breaking existing functionality • Patch the underlying vulnerability, harden [login to view URL], set correct file permissions, and add a security plugin/firewall • Generate a fresh full-site backup once the site is verified clean • Provide a concise report summarising what was found, what you removed, and the preventive steps applied I’m not certain whether the symptoms stem from hidden redirects, pop-ups, defacement, or all of the above, so please be prepared to tackle any of those scenarios. Acceptance criteria: no remaining malware signatures in follow-up scans, site loading normally for 72 hours, and a working backup delivered.
