Have I been hacked?

    I have been doing a couple of things in the backend of WordPress (nothing I normally wouldn't) and my homepage seems to have pretty much disappeared - well everything in the center of the page anyway.

    Just half an hour ago I asked a few questions on these forums and I am worried that someone has hacked me. If not then any ideas what is going on?

    The site is called http://www.comparebookies.com and I am pretty desparate to get it back online so any prompt responses will be very much appreciated!

    You probably messed with something you shouldn't have.

    What's supposed to be in the middle? It looks like the float was removed on the right sidebar.

    Did you install any plugins? If so, disable them. What about .htaccess? Were you playing with the functions.php file of your theme? Did you change the static homepage of your theme? There's lots that could have changed.

    I've sorted this matter. Somehow, the PHP code to include his widgets was completely removed from the index.php file.

    Your website is not showing signs of being infected. probably some plugin is making all non-sense. Turn off all the plugins and enable them one by one, you will easily odd one out.
