getting into my hacked website to retrieve some pages- its offline- but I cant get in

  • Unknown's avatar

    HI< my wordpress site was hacked. My coder tried to remove hacked codes, was worse than he hoped and said I need a new site. That part is ok. Problem is I asked my host, to disconnect site from internet but keep it in their system so I can explore, as I recreate a new site. They assured me I can look in edit mode as see what I need. We cant get in, over 2 hours on phone with host. They tried everything, changing passwords etc. Its locking me out. They then tell me to contact wordpress. My new site will be Divi and I changed hosts. But I need a genius to help me get into to view the site. and If I can get in, remove codes of my blog, (so I can hold on to followers) is that code infected, same as visurs..could it harm my new site? If yes, im done, ill just delete it and move on. THANK YOU

  • Hi there!

    Since your site is not hosted with WordPress.com (it is a site using the open-source WordPress software, from WordPress.org, but hosted elsewhere), you’ll want to reach out to them directly about it or write on the community forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.
