I scanned my site & found viruses.

    I see the ‘Resources & links’ for donations. If I donate, will it fix the errors it found?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • What is the site address in question? Where did you scan it?

    biocidehawaii.com

    I scanned it in the back office of wordpress. These are the scanned files

    * NOTE: These are probably not malicious scripts (but it’s a good place to start looking IF your site is infected and no Known Threats were found).

  • Looks like you are using WordPress software from https://wordpress.org on a web host other than WordPress.com. I would use a third party tool to rescan my website or install a good security plugin to mitigate any threat to my website.

    Having said that, support for WordPress.org software sites is offered in the support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ and these forums are able to help only if your site is hosted by WordPress.com.

    WordPress.org and WordPress.com are different in structure and can be confusing. More information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    That is confusing..

    I had other people build my websites & now they have hurt me.. I really dont know what to do & im trying to figure it out..

    Can you tell me how to temporarily take this site offline? the company I sell the products for
    are furious at me & want this down until I fix it..

    I still dont understand How I can use wordpress for hosting & their help.

    Thank you so much for your help

  • I understand this is confusing. WordPress comes in two variants. One is WordPress.org software that you can use on any web host other than WordPress.com. The second one is WordPress.com web hosting. https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ page is useful to understand the difference.

    Since you are using WordPress.org software, please contact your web host if you want to take down the website. If you just want to hide the site from the public, you can download and use an under construction plugin as well from https://wordpress.org/plugins page.

    However, for more specific help, please post your questions in WordPress.org support forums here – https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Thank you so much for the time.. & answers..

    I appreciate it.. I need to try to figure it out.

    1 question.. Is there anyway to get help from WordPress while im in the “back office” of my site?

    I cannot find a help or anything back here.. This is all too confusing to me.. I just need to park the site somewhere.

  • Unknown's avatar

    There is no help for that site found here at WordPress.COM.
    You need to post to https://wordpress.ORG/support/

  • Unknown's avatar

    Is there any way to speak to a human or a live chat? I will pay for it.. I just need to figure this out.. Ill look on that support site for it..

    Thank you!

    I am a human being and the first volunteer who responded is also a human being.

    There is no help for that site found here at WordPress.COM because the site is not hosted on our servers. It is a WordPress.ORG software install hosted by Godaddy.com
    You need to post to https://wordpress.ORG/support/

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support.
    The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/
    If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
