âIâll know if my site gets hacked.â
Not always.
Sometimes a hack is not your homepage turning into a casino ad.
Sometimes it is one suspicious PHP file hiding in uploads, quietly redirecting mobile users while your desktop version looks perfectly normal.

One plugin update can break the exact thing your site depends on: checkout, forms, login, or payments.
Weâve seen âquick updatesâ turn into lost orders, angry customers, and hours of trying to find what changed.
Donât update and hope. Test first, then push it live.

âNobody would bother hacking my small websiteâ is a dangerous bet, because most attacks are not personal.
Bots are not studying your brand or your traffic; they are scanning for old plugins, weak passwords, and doors left open.
And small websites often give them plenty.

Dealing with malware on a site you manage is awful. The panic, the cleanup, the client call â it's a lot.
But the cleanup is the easy part.
What's tricky is figuring out how the malware got in.
Otherwise, you're not fixing the problem. You're just resetting the clock.

The most common cause is honestly just a typo in wp-config.php.
Wrong database name, wrong username, wrong password, wrong host â any one of those being slightly off and your whole site goes down.

This is one of those WordPress habits that feels harmless -Keeping old themes âjust in case.â
But unused themes still need updates.
If theyâre forgotten and vulnerable, they can become a security risk before anyone remembers theyâre there.

If WordPress says your login is temporarily disabled, the worst thing you can do is keep trying the same password like it owes you money.
Stop.
More failed attempts can restart the lockout timer.

If you think you've been IP-blocked, stop troubleshooting WordPress for a minute.
Try logging in from a different network (mobile hotspot works great).
If it works there, your site may be fineâthe block is probably tied to your IP, not your account.

Getting back into wp-admin feels like a win - It's not.
Whatever locked you out is still there.
To prevent a sequel of this nightmarish movieâcheck your security logs, recent plugin changes, and any admin users you don't recognise.

âMy site is too small to get hackedâ sounds logical until you remember bots donât check your revenue before attacking.

WordPress salts sound way more dramatic than they are.
Theyâre not fancy passwords or magic hack-fixers.
Theyâre secret strings WordPress uses to help protect login cookies and security checks.

Ever noticed how sites suddenly log everyone out after a security scare?
That's WordPress salts being changed â it kills every active login session and forces everyone to sign in again.
Inconvenient for users. Very inconvenient for anyone who shouldn't have been logged in.

Changing WordPress salts after a hack is a smart first step. It isn't a complete fix.
You still need to clean the site, update vulnerable plugins, and reset passwords.
Salts protect access. They don't replace good security practices.
