Wordpress Site (issue of Hacking)

Yea hostgator is on top of things like this. I recently had an issue and they went through found out it wasn't a hacker but they reassured me that if it were, they had it under control

 

Check by any chance if you have timthumb.php on your website? Update it with the latest one.

 

@imran where to find this file?
deleted install.php,
installed bullet proof security,
anyone tried newwpthemes? How are they and how secured are they to be used? Suggest a best plugin for seo.
Thanks guys.

 

Wordpress SEO is the best plugin you'll get for free. It sh*ts over everything else. As for themes, use the default one (2012) and customise it (create a child theme). It's a lot less risky.

timthumb.php could be part of a theme or plugin, so it would be in a directory under wp-content.

 

I installed wordpress seo , but couldn't understand it. I have used all in one seo for many time. What would you say about it?

 

I use All in One SEO Pack due to its simplicity. I tried that Yoast's plugin too but apparently I am too dumb to understand it under 5 minutes so it had to go.

 

It might be an issue with the server your site is hosted. So, check with your hosting provider. If an hacker gets access to server, whatever protection you do, it will not help.

 

I have installed BPS and using fresh theme. I am waiting for the next turn if it happens again, I will change the server. It may have been that my site was unsecured because all other websites are running ok with that server. Anyways, lets see.

 

Before moving site to another server, if you send me your website link. I can check something about hosting server or any problems. Else you may moving your site to different hosts.
Instead of replying just send me a PM as I may not come to this thread. There are many ways WP is hacked.
I got 17 hack attacks to one of my WP site today. But all attempts are failed.
