Hostinger WordPress Expert | Malware Removal & Hacked Site Repair

Has your WordPress website been hacked, redirected to spam pages, blacklisted, or infected with malicious files that keep coming back? I specialize in WordPress malware removal, hacked website repair, security hardening, and Hostinger WordPress troubleshooting. I regularly work with Hostinger hosting environments, including hPanel, website migrations, DNS and Cloudflare configuration, PHP upgrades, compromised WordPress installations, and hosting-related issues. I investigate compromised plugins, themes, uploads, databases, administrator accounts, cron jobs, and server files. I remove malicious code without unnecessarily deleting legitimate website content. I fix WordPress sites that are hacked, broken after a PHP upgrade, stuck on the wrong host, or experiencing problems after a hosting migration, and I make sure the underlying cause is addressed rather than simply making the symptoms disappear. My core specialties: • WordPress malware and backdoor removal, including persistent reinfections that previous cleanups missed • Hostinger WordPress troubleshooting, security, malware cleanup, migrations, hPanel, DNS, and hosting configuration • PHP 7 / 8 / 8.4 compatibility fixes and fatal errors after hosting-forced PHP upgrades • Zero-downtime WordPress migrations between hosting providers or from staging to production • Database malware cleanup, malicious redirects, SEO spam, rogue administrator accounts, and cron-job infections • WordPress security hardening and investigation of possible entry points How I work: Audit → Clean / Fix → Verify → Harden → Document I don't stop when the website "looks fine." I independently re-scan and verify the site, investigate how the compromise happened when possible, harden vulnerable areas, and provide a written report explaining exactly what I found and changed. Recent work: • Diagnosed and removed a multi-component malware campaign involving fake-plugin backdoors, forged administrator 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 website. • Fixed fatal PHP 8.4 errors in legacy premium WordPress themes by replacing create_function(), PHP4-style constructors, deprecated reference syntax, and other incompatible code so the sites could safely run on current PHP versions. • Migrated 15+ WordPress databases between hosting providers using serialization-safe search-and-replace, with every migration verified through a byte-identical round-trip comparison to prevent corrupted serialized data or content loss. • Closed a SQL injection vulnerability and missing nonce/capability checks in WordPress admin AJAX handlers, replaced deprecated jQuery APIs, and made the affected functionality fully compatible with PHP 8.4. If you're using Hostinger and your WordPress site has been hacked, keeps getting reinfected, shows strange redirects, contains spam pages you never created, breaks after a PHP update, or needs to be migrated safely, send me the symptoms you're seeing. I'll investigate the problem and explain what needs to be fixed.
