Apparently this plugin was installed by a hacker and the main site is getting redirected to a malicious site.
I’ve experienced this before. So I new to look for WPCode Lite. However when I go to Plugins, WPCode is not listed and there is no WPCode in the side menu.
But the plugins is installed. I connected to the site via FTP and went to wp-content/plugin and insert-headers-and-footers is in there. I renamed the ihaf.php and went back to WordPress Plugins and there is a message “The plugin insert-headers-and-footers/ihaf.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.”
And now WPCode Lite shows up in the plugin listings as inactive. I’ve deleted the plugin and re-installed it but it still won’t show up in Plugins or in the side menu.
Even after the plugin is deleted the main site still redirects, which is odd. How can I get the plugin to display in both Plugins and in the side menu once it is installed? I’ve read posts where it says it could be a permissions problem. How can I manually set the permissions on this? I have access to the database.
