Can letshost restore it from a backup for you? It was OK in October:

Nat, I have emailed you. I haven't a clue how to restore it or prevent another hack. But well done for spotting this thread, I thought you'd retired!

I have emailed Letshost , see what happens

Nothing came through Dave - info@avondhu-internet.com is my addy - can you send again?

Pop over your letshost login details too - if they have a backup vault I might be able to get it sorted for you straight away. Their support has gone very slow!

I should also mention - anyone with a WordPress website should update to the 4,7,2 release NOW - - a big vulnerability was announced (after the fix was released) last week - and every wannabe hacker on the planet seems to be taking advantage of sites that haven't been updated.  Over 100,000 hacked in the last week according to recent reports!

They just wrote a couple of crappy posts on the affected Wordpress sites. Just deleted them.

Which one is yours again? I always get confused between real names & forum usernames!

I've literally thousands of sites I've built over the years, so it'd be impossible to update them  all - but if anyone ever asks me to make changes, add blogs etc, I update every site I work on every time I visit it.
