My WordPress site pushes visitors to random third-party pages. The core pages, posts, and media are all still in place. I have full access to wp-admin, files (FTP/SFTP), and the database, yet I haven’t attempted any fixes, scans, or plugin installs, so the environment is untouched and ready for investigation. What I need is a thorough malware audit and cleanup: • Pinpoint and remove every injected script, backdoor, or rogue .htaccess rule causing the redirects. • Scan theme, plugins, uploads, and database tables for obfuscated code—tools like Wordfence CLI, Sucuri SiteCheck, or equivalent are fine as long as the site leaves 100 % clean. • Patch the entry point, harden [login to view URL] permissions, and tighten file ownership so the issue doesn’t return. • Deliver a brief report outlining what was found, what was fixed, and any ongoing security steps I should take (plugin updates, weekly scans, backups, etc.). Acceptance criteria: no further redirects under load testing, Google Safe Browsing shows the domain as clean, and an on-demand Wordfence scan returns zero critical issues. Ready to grant credentials immediately and keen to get the site stable again today.

Hello, Random redirects usually mean there is an injected script, backdoor, or compromised .htaccess rule hidden inside the theme, uploads, or database. I have cleaned similar WordPress infections where everything looked normal in admin while malicious code continued redirecting visitors externally. I will trace the infection source, remove all malicious code, secure file permissions, harden the installation, and verify the site with clean malware scans and redirect testing. This is urgent work and I can begin immediately. Can you share access? I will start the audit right away. Regards, Smile Mittal
