Hello!

I have a Wordpress site and it was hacked! I am in the middle of cleaning up the mess, and almost done. My blog page background is still black. I am trying to find the code that made it black and replace it back to white! Not sure if I need to find a dropped code that was left by the hackers or if I just need to add the code that will make it white again. Please advise.

Thank You,
MJ

What I have tried:

-I have tried to change the background color on container & column. No luck!
-I have been searching for the code in the appearance>editor>Stylesheet. Still no luck!

Check the header.php template under themes/WhatEverYourThemeName folder. Do you have a backup? If yes, restore from backup, then update all the plugins and template to latest and greatest.

I would suggest scrap the whole thing and start from ground 0 unless you 100% sure the problem is fixed and will not repeat again.

Solution 2

Use your browser tools (eg Firefox Developer Tools / Style Editor) to examine the hierarchy of styles applied to that element. It'll tell you what styles from what files are active.

Restore from backup would be the most obvious option. If you don't have a back, ask the hosting service if they do and if they could. Don't ask, don't get... The worst thing that they could say is no.

After it is fully restored, make a backup!
