   I seem to have a hacker trying to access my back end using the Admin account and they keep locking me out of my own site. Is there a way to reset this lockout since this seems to be happening quite often to my site. I try to block the IP addresses of the hackers once I get access back but low and behold they did it again. Locked out and can’t login as Admin.

   Once I get back in I will prob create another user with all access so I am not completely locked out again but being locked out as Admin is getting quite frustrating. I think it is a plugin I installed that is setup to block the user if they fail to login correctly, too bad there is no way to assign an IP address to my Admin user since I have a static IP and only log in from the same internet connection when editing my site

   Any ideas on what I should do? thanks!

     Carl, first you need to find out how someone is able to regain access to your site. This means they have installed a backdoor, which allows them to come and go as they please.

     Once you have found and fixed the backdoor, you can try these tips to protect WordPress admin area.

   So I changed a code in functions.php and therefore an error occurred. My website isn’t loading anymore and I can’t log into the admin. I tried using FileZilla and followed the exact steps as you described. I was able to change the functions.php and removed the code. However, my website is still not working. I really don’t know what to do, hope you can help.

     Do you see an error message when you visit your website?

     Are you sure you fixed the correct functions.php file? Each WordPress theme installed on your site has a functions.php file.

     Try switching to a default theme by renaming, /themes/ folder to /themes.old/ inside wp-content directory. Then create a new themes folder and then download Twenty Sixteen theme from WordPress.org. Unzip the theme and upload it to the new themes directory.

       Hi, I managed to fix my website by replacing my functions.php in FileZilla by the functions.php from my theme which I found on the internet. Thank you for all the helpful information because otherwise I wouldn’t have known about FileZilla. I’m relieved that my website is fixed now!

     Seems like issue with a theme or plugin installed on your site. Try deactivating all plugin and switching to a default theme like Twenty Sixteen. This will help you figure out which plugin or your theme is causing the issue.

       I have the same issue, however I cannot even log into my dashboard. I did go to my pluggable.php file and deleted all the spaces and extra lines but the problem still persists.

       Odpowiedz

       • WPBeginner Support

         Hi Teresa,

         Why you deleted the pluggable.php file? It is a core file and you are not supposed to delete it. Please download WordPress, extract it on your desktop, locate the file pluggable.php in the wp-includes folder. Use an FTP client to upload this fresh file back to your website.

         We are assuming that you added some code to functions.php file which caused errors on your website. Please take a look at the steps mentioned in our WordPress troubleshooting guide for beginners for more detailed steps.

   Hello, I`m in a right mess with my new site. A friend set it up for me to edit – which I did, BUT then I decided to change the URL as it had his name in it – and now I cannot get into it at all.

   Would anyone have any idea how I can overcome this issue?

   Greetings all,

   I am new to the world of websites, and while trying to find a way to add 'Read More’ buttons to the TwentyTweleve Theme, I added some code into the functions.php file and am now locked out

   I have reviewed the repair option, however I do not have a web host as I am still learning, and just use the wamp server to view my site. As a result I cannot use the FTP option and am hoping there is another way back in – please help.

   Odpowiedz

   • WPBeginner Support

     you can just go to the wamp folder on your computer. Inside it you will find www or htdocs folder which contains your WordPress files. Locate the twenty twelve theme folder in /wp-content/themes/ and undo the changes in functions.php

   I am helping a friend tweak a few things on her site (I’m a WP beginner). I made a few small changes (linked her instagram, edited a post, etc). Today when I tried to access the site (Main page & admin page)I got a 504 error message (Gateway Timeout). So I contacted the Web host and they said it was the theme that was causing it to crash. They changed the theme back to the default and I can now see the site and access the admin panel.

   The thing is, I really want to use that theme I had before, as that’s the theme she’s had for two years (with no problem) and she likes it.

   Any ideas what the problem could be? After it had been restored to the default theme, I tried changing it back to the previous theme and got the same error message and had to have my server put it back to default (twentyfifteen) Thanks!

   I started a second website cloned the existing site to it. Both sites are meant to be independent but thought it would save time to clone the first and then update it.
   Problem is I cannot log into the new site, my log in takes me only to the first site.
   How do I create a new log in for the new site?
   Do I have to start all over?
   Thanks for any tips and instructions!

    Help! What do I do? I have a Wordpress website hosted by another woman and her domain. She passed away unexpectedly. How do I take over paying for the site to keep it going? I have been running it for a year and promised her I would keep it going if something ever did happen. I do not have her admin info. I only have her domain name and my info.

    Odpowiedz

    • WPBeginner Support

      Amber, it would be complicated. First, you will have to find out who is hosting the website. There are many online tools that can help you find out who is hosting the site by just entering the site address. Once you have found out the hosting company, you need to reach out to them.

      You will be asked to provide power of attorney, copy of death certificate, your identification information. In case you do not have power of attorney, then you will need to reach out to the next of kin or the estate who has control over the deceased belongings. They will have to separately contact the hosting company, provide them the same information, and give you the control of the site. After that you will be able to pay for the site and use it.

      Hope this helps.

    Hi, I did a terrible mistake. By default the domain was example.org, but trying to solve some other plugin related issue, I modified the .htaccess file and included a rule to redirect it to http://www.example.org. Dont have ftp access. So now even if I enter correct user/pass in my wp-admin, I get redirected to the same http://www.example,org without any error. Please help.

      You can simply download your htaccess file to your computer for backup. After that delete it from your server. Access your website, go to admin area and then Settings -> Permalinks. Click on the update button to refresh your .htaccess file.

    Firstly is to thank you of your enormous supports that I got from reading your articles for the past few months I started my new website. I really appreciate.

    MY PROBLEM
    I always get „504 Gateway Error” most times I want to Publish a post/page/Image from my WP-admin section.
    I have sent countless of mails to my Hosting provider „Whogohost” but there feedbacks aren’t helping and the problem persists. Though the problem re-occurs temporarily but lasts up to days; It sucks.

    2 Users I added on the website complained they were unable to post on the website using the „Wordpress apps on android and blackberry phones”.

    Please I will be glad to get your solution on this problem of mine.

    Thanks and remain blessed.

      First try to deactivate all your WordPress plugins and switch to a default theme. Try publishing a post or page and see if you still get the error. If you do, then try increasing php memory limit. If that does not help, then it is most likely an issue on your server. Contact your host for support.

    I have a problem outside of these options and I’m so clueless on the subject that I don’t even know which way to direct myself. My brother hosted the non-profit website that I update. He has since burned personal bridges and it appears professional, as well, as I can’t access our site. I don’t know if he just stopped paying the wordpress fees, but I have no access. When I go to the actual website, my last update a few months ago is still there. Is there any way to access this wordpress account and establish on my own or do I need to create an whole new website?

    Hello,

    I am completely locked out of my site and cannot access my dashboard. I have multiple user accounts that I use for testing and all of them are locked as well. When I try to log in I get „ERROR: The password you entered for the username spiderwayne is incorrect. Lost your password?”.

    Password Reset
    I tried to reset my password but after I click on the link I get in email to reset it I get a page that says „Your password reset link appears to be invalid. Please request a new link below.”

    I tried to register as a new user and get this message „ERROR: Couldn’t register you… please contact the webmaster !”

    I thought it was the Them-My-Login plugin because this seems to happen after I installed an update from them. So I FTP’d into my site and renamed it. So then when I tried to log in I was back at the default WordPress login page but again I try to log in I get that failed message saying „ERROR: The password you entered for the username spiderwayne is incorrect. Lost your password?”. By the way I also tried logging in using my email address.

    Next I renamed my whole Plugin directory so all the plugins would be disabled.. and I still can’t get in.

    Earlier today I went into phpMyAdmin and I changed the password (md5) on one of my accounts and again it didn’t work.

    The only think I can think of now but really don’t want to do is wipe out my site, get rid of the database and wordpress, reinstall everything and rebuild from a backup from last week and hope I don’t rebuild it with the same problem.

    Anything else you can think of for me to try?

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    I’ve been scouring the Net for an answer and was hoping someone here can help! I was granted admin access to a friend’s blog and was temporarily locked out because I was trying to enter the wrong password. I was able to get it corrected but now every time I leave a comment on her site, my comment is held in moderation. I have all appropriate permissions; in fact when readers comment, nobody’s comment is set to be held in moderation! I have a suspicion WP has my IP address (and/or username) tagged due to the lockout. Do you know of a way we can fix this? I’ll be writing regularly for her blog and it’s a pain to be at a laptop logged in just to respond to reader comments. Thank you!

      A number of possibilities here:

      1. There is some security plugin installed that has blacklisted your ip address.
      2. Go to Settings > Discussion scroll down to comment moderation and blacklist boxes and see if your username or ipaddress is listed there.
      3. Akismet is catching your comment as false positive. In that case please contact Akismet support.

    Got a bit of an odd situation here. I’m doing some marketing consultation for a company who has lost control of its Word Press site. The setup email was registered by an employee who is now disgruntled, and hasn’t been with the company for over a year. The password was known for the past year, but recently forgotten. The reset function is linked to his email address and he’s not responding to anyone’s requests to transition control over to the company owners.

    Is there a way for the owners to prove their ownership and put the admin email in their own hands without having to get the former employee to be involved in any way?

    We have a major marketing program that just went live and the lack of being able to access and update the website is causing serious financial harm to the company.

    Please help!

    Are there any readily available solutions that don’t involve the expense of making this a legal matter?

    First lets get your site back.

    The reason you can’t connect to FTP using Filezilla is probably that you are entering incorrect hostname, username, or password. You can ask your webhosting provider to provide these details to you.

    Alternately you can use File Manager in cPanel. Login to your hosting account and find the File Manager. It is just like FTP only that it works inside your browser. Locate your functions.php file and edit it to remove the code you added earlier.

    As for adding Google Maps, checkout our guide on how to add a Google Map in WordPress.

    Hi there.
    Hoping for some help. I’m new to WP, and still finding my feet. Managed to create a rather nice site, and as a final touch decided to ad a google map of some sort into the contact page. All the plug ins that I looked at called for the 'simple code’ to be incerted. But ofcourse I could not figure out WHERE exactly this should be incerted. So I googled, and it was suggested that the coding should be added into the function php. and the 'short code’ into the text part of widgets.
    Thus I added the coding at the end of the existing coding in the function php. and when I pressed the button, manage to make my whole site dissapear. I now KNOW NOT TO MESS WITH FUNCTION CODING.
    I know where the error occured, and could easily fix, if I could just get rid of the white screen.
    Then I read that I can try via FTP (Filezilla) and did use filezilla before, so that should be ok.
    NOT.
    I type in my host, username and password, and it runs it’s script, but then ends with red lettering: Critical error. Could not connect to server.
    Now what? Any other suggestions?

    I was messing around with „footer plhgins” and decided that they where troublesome. so I deleted one of them called „sticky footer” and in a sense, thats right, sticky. It messed up my home page and so trying different was to delete an invisible page „behind” the home page was taskfull but I did it however, when I went to put a „new” home page with the same data as the original, it worked but would not return to „home” when clicked from another page. I also noticed that certain words changed to blue and became ad words within my site. This after I added a security plugin the day before. so messing with another plugin to try and remove the malware, was unsuccessful so I brought out the big gun „spybot” to try and clean up the mess. Well, while doing so, I must have removed something and now I have zero access to my site, My wp-admin is not recognized as if it disappeared. what do I do the fix this? or how do I take the site dow and rebuild?

    Okay. I was hacked. The whole server was royally hacked. I created a new username with admin permissions, but still couldn’t get in. They had changed all user usernames to admin but demoted the permissions on all. So what I did was 1. delete all security plugins and clean up your .htaccess 2. delete users with your email first. 3. create a new user with admin permission (like you say on this site – the exact tutorial I used). 4. Don’t try and log in with the new user. Use the lost password and the email address (not username). 5. I created a nasty password with the change password email and presto – I was in. Now it’s a matter of re-installing all plugins and clearing out other users.

    Steve

      Steven,

      We can not understand, why do you need proof of purchase to reset your password? Did you try contacting your webhost? Do you remember the email address associated with your WordPress account or web hosting account?

        There was a password reset page that asked for website address and email address and also proof of ownership, that is why in my original message that I could not find proof of purchase as one of the questions was please provide your paypal transaction number.

    Help!

    I am locked out of my admin. I have loaded the Plug-in: „Maven Member” which restricts access to specific pages. I was testing the registration pages by adding new members as basic subscribers or participants and I never got around to re-setting up my administration access through the plugin. Now when I enter in my username and password, it comes up as „Forbidden”

    I’m thinking that the plug-in overrides the original access (of Course) buy now I have no way of accessing my wordpress admin.

    I tried changing the names of the plugin file and the plugin root folder in the ftp – didn’t have an effect. And now, any attempt to login from the website, even when registering through the new plugin, for limited access, comes up as „forbidden”

    Any ideas. have a lot of work and no ability to do it.

    _ thanks in advance!

      Try deleting .htaccess file. If this does not solve your issue contact plugin’s support.

    Getting Error Message: „Cannot modify header information”

    Neither my username or password have been changed and I am locked out of one of my WordPress accounts.

    Anyone recognize this error message and know what to do to get around it?

      Do you remember the last thing you did before getting this message? Most probably you installed a plugin or changed some code. You would need to deactivate all your plugins or undo the changes you made before getting this error.

    I have been locked out because I was trying to change domain name (Site and Home). How can I get access to my Dashboard again?

    Odpowiedz

      You can edit site and home url by changing them in wp-config.php file using an FTP client.

    I have a WP site and it has been hacked by the „Turk Hack Team” They have changed my password. Changed my email address to access password reset and they have some how deleted my user name too. When I try for recovery using the „recovery account form” it tells me I don’t have an account. Says I must be on Wordpress.org not Wordpress.com. But the last password resets in my emails are .com.
    I haven’t got a clue where to start! don’t even know how to contact Wordpress to prove I own my domain and site!!!!
    How are you suppose to get it fixed if you cant make contact?

      Contact WordPress.com support. They have other ways for you to prove your ownership of the blog. On the other hand if your site was on WordPress.org you would have had much better control on your site and you could have recovered it without relying on a third party.

    My website is nearly complete but my web designer has gone sick and I have no access to the site to get it finished as he never gave me the passwords. The designer isn’t in communication with me at all as I understand he is seriously ill and I don’t want to have to start again from scratch.

    What do I do please? Surely there must be a way of accessing the website in this kind of scenario. I have proof of ownership and the site has been paid for.

    I would really appreciate your advice.

    Thank you.

      If the website is hosted under a hosting account that you own, then you can request the hosting company to grant you access. If not, then you are pretty out of luck.

    I am desperately looking for help. I am locked out of my WordPress blog, because the Log In does not recognize my password. Every time I am prompted to change it, I do, and it is rejected every time. Every solution to my issue involves being on my blog and I can’t get on. Is there any tech support available.

      Hey Anne, usually your web hosting provider should be able to help you out with this.

        Thanks, but as I understand it, it is my web hosting provider that was keeping me out. It took me a couple of days, but I finally figured it out.
