Yeah - unfortunately we didn't pay for anything - nor do I really know all that much about the development of the site. &nbsp;lol

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
So we've got this site that was developed by another company - that we're going to be hosting and doing minor edits on - and it's been giving us headaches ever since we loaded it up. &nbsp;It appears that there's some malware script in it. &nbsp;The other developer has disappeared - and I'm left having to work this out.<br />
<br />
After the first intrusion into the site, I did a halfhearted reload where I just reuploaded everything replacing files only if the file sizes were different (figuring that an altered/injected file would have a different file size). &nbsp;That seemed to &quot;fix&quot; it for a bit, but now there's evidence of other intrusions into the site (the header being altered for mobile versions sending you off to porn/etc).<br />
<br />
Are there any tips you can give me on how to properly secure a WordPress site? &nbsp;The version is 4.6.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!
