WordPress Malware Removal & Cleanup
Budget: $30 – $250 NZD
My WordPress site has been compromised with malicious code and needs a cleanup. It happened a few months ago and my website has been down since then. I have no backups to roll back past this period.
You will need to:
• Run a comprehensive scan (WP-CLI, Wordfence, Sucuri, or similar) and remove every malicious file, injection, or database entry
• Restore core, theme, and plugin integrity without breaking existing functionality
• Patch the underlying vulnerability, harden wp-config.php, set correct file permissions, and add a security plugin/firewall
• Generate a fresh full-site backup once the site is verified clean
• Provide a concise report summarising what was found, what you removed, and the preventive steps applied
I’m not certain whether the symptoms stem from hidden redirects, pop-ups, defacement, or all of the above, so please be prepared to tackle any of those scenarios.
Acceptance criteria: no remaining malware signatures in follow-up scans, site loading normally for 72 hours, and a working backup delivered.
