You will get WordPress malware removal for hacked sites — scan, cleanup, backdoor removal, and hardening report
Project details
Fixed-scope emergency cleanup when your WordPress site is hacked, flagged by Google, redirecting visitors, or suspended by your host. We scan the full install — core files, themes, plugins, uploads, and database — remove malware and backdoors, and document what was changed so you are not guessing what happened. You get a post-cleanup hardening checklist and guidance on password and key rotation. This is a cleanup pass, not open-ended forensic billing — scope is clear upfront at $299. Pair with WordPress Maintenance after cleanup if you want updates, backups, and monitoring handled monthly.

Frequently asked questions
Common signs you need WordPress malware removal: Google safe browsing warnings, redirects to spam sites, unknown admin users, injected scripts in pages, host suspension notices, or sudden traffic drops. We scan core files, themes, plugins, uploads, and the database to confirm and clean infections.
Common signs include Google "Deceptive site" or malware warnings, unexpected redirects to spam pages, new admin users you did not create, Japanese keyword spam in search results, sudden traffic drops, phishing pop-ups, or your host emailing that the account is suspended. If you are unsure, order the cleanup — we confirm during the initial scan.
Your website URL, a short description of what you are seeing, and access to fix the site — typically hosting panel login, WordPress admin, or SFTP. If your host locked the account, tell us in the order form and we will guide you on what to restore first.
We remove malicious code and known backdoors — not your legitimate theme, content, or layout. If a theme or plugin file is too compromised to trust, we flag it and recommend a clean reinstall rather than patching in place. We document changes so you or your developer can review what was touched.
We clean the infection and help you request a Google review when applicable. Search Console and browser warnings can take time to clear after Google re-crawls the site — timing is not fully in our control, but we make sure the underlying malware is gone before you request review.
No — this is a one-time cleanup at a fixed price. If you want updates, backups, uptime checks, and ongoing hardening, add WordPress Maintenance after we restore the site.
Most small-business WordPress hacks fit this scope. If we find widespread compromise, outdated PHP, or a custom app layer that needs more work, we tell you before expanding scope — no surprise hours billed without approval.

Website Designer/Developer Needed to Create Wordpress site using Rhodos Theme & Elementor Pro

"If you're developing a Wordpress site, stop searching Upwork right now and reach out to Dmitrii. You won't regret it! As a former VP of marketing for a $20 million tech company, I've worked with a lot of website developers. Dmitrii is top-notch. When it comes to building a Wordpress website, he is my new go-to person. He hits the sweet spot of: 1) Offering fair pricing and amazing value; 2) Technical expertise; and 3) Responsive communication throughout the entire process. Communication is an intangible that often gets overlooked. Yet, is SO critical to a smooth experience. When reading other Upwork reviews before reaching out to Dmitrii, one of his customers wrote this, \"Don't negotiate with him, don't try to bargain him down, just pay whatever he wants. I GUARANTEE you will be ECSTATIC with the results.\" I decided to follow that advice and am indeed thrilled with the results. How FAST he was able to complete the website project stood out. I requested several edits to the design throughout the process. Dmitrii never once made me feel like I was being too picky or asking for too much. He really took ownership over the project by creating milestones in Upwork which I greatly appreciated. Regarding the timeline, he provided a very realistic estimate and then nailed it – the website was actually launched a few days before the original estimated date. He was incredibly proactive, providing frequent progress updates. I felt like I always knew exactly where the project stood. Finally, I feel that the final results speak for themselves! We have a beautiful website that looks very professional and accurately reflects our brand. Thanks, Dmitrii – we couldn't have done it so quickly and smoothly without you!"
