Raquel contacted me because their site was not loading and the person they had helping them disappeared!
After some investigation, I discovered the site had been hacked. It was running a very outdated version of WordPress, along with obsolete plugins, an old theme, and an unsupported version of PHP.
When a WordPress site falls too far behind on updates, it becomes highly vulnerable to bots, brute-force attacks, backdoor exploits, and other serious security threats.
Fortunately, I was able to recover the site. After confirming the intrusion appeared to be bot-related, I backed up the site files and database, then installed the latest version of WordPress along with updated plugins.
However, the theme they had been using was too outdated to function in the current PHP environment, making a redesign necessary. I implemented a modern, fully compatible theme while preserving the existing content and site structure — which kept the costs to a minimum.
