Hacked WordPress Repair | Malware Removal & Security

Has your WordPress website been hacked, redirected to spam pages, blacklisted, or infected with malicious files that don't seem to go away? I specialized in removing malware, identifying possible entry points, securing websites, and deploying measures to prevent reinfection. I investigate compromised plugins, themes, uploads, databases, administrator accounts, cron jobs, and server files. I clean malicious code without unnecessarily deleting legitimate website content. I fix WordPress sites that are hacked, broken by a PHP upgrade, or stuck on the wrong host — and I make sure they stay that way. I specialize in three things clients usually come to me in a panic about: Malware & backdoor removal including reinfections that other cleanups missed PHP 7/8/8.4 compatibility fixes, fatal errors after, a hosting-forced PHP upgrade Zero-downtime site migrations between hosts, or staging to production How I work: Audit → Clean/Fix → Verify (independent re-scan, not just "looks fine") → Harden → Written report of exactly what was found and changed. Recent work: Diagnosed and removed a multi-component malware campaign (fake-plugin backdoors, forged admin sessions, malicious cron jobs, and database-level SEO-cloaking injections) across a 20+ site agency portfolio, traced the shared root cause to an unpatched critical vulnerability in a popular page-builder plugin and coordinated remediation across every affected site. Fixed fatal PHP 8.4 errors in legacy premium themes (removed create_function(), PHP4-style constructors, deprecated reference syntax) so sites could safely move to current PHP without breaking. Migrated 15+ WordPress databases between hosting providers using serialization-safe search-and-replace, with every migration verified by a byte-identical round-trip diff — zero data loss, zero corrupted serialized data. Closed SQL-injection hole and missing nonce/capability checks in admin AJAX handlers, replaced deprecated jQuery APIs, made it fully PHP 8.4 compatible. If your site is showing weird redirects, spam pages you didn't create, a white screen after a PHP update, or you just need it moved somewhere safer. Message me with what you're seeing and I'll tell you straight away what I think is going on.
