This is because these are plugin files that you can reinstall and WordPress will automatically detect if you have deleted a plugin and will thus disable it. Ensure deleting entire directories in wp-content\/plugins and not just individual files.<\/li>\n<li>You usually only have one theme directory that is used for your site in the <strong>wp-content\/themes <\/strong>directory. If you know which one this is you will then be able to delete all other theme directories. If you have a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153child theme\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you could be using two directories in wp-content\/themes, even though this is rare.<\/li>\n<li>Watch out for old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.belugacdn.com\/content-delivery-network-in-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CDN for WordPress<\/a> installations and backups. What sometimes happens is you or a developer will back up a copy of all your site files into a subdirectory like \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcold\/\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 that is accessible from the web. This backup is not maintained and even though your main site is secure, a hacker can actually get in there, infect it and then access your main site from the <strong>backdoor<\/strong> they planted. So make sure that you do not leave behind old WordPress installations and if you do get hacked, you will have to check those first because there are chances of them being loaded with malware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ItemList\">\n<h3>The steps below will help you to start working on the post-hack process when you are sure of experiencing a &#8216;WordPress blog hacked&#8217; situation. <\/h3>\n<ol itemprop=\"itemListOrder\" href=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ItemListOrderAscending\">\n<meta itemprop=\"numberOfItems\" content=\"12\" \/><\/p>\n<div itemprop=\"itemListElement\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ListItem\">\n<span itemprop=\"position\" content=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<div itemprop=\"item\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/thing\">\n<li itemprop=\"name\">Stay calm by taking a step back and composing yourself.
