 * So wordpress automatically updated to version 3.8.14 and my site was having formatting
   and other issues. I logged in to my dashboard and saw that it was a mess too.
   Did a little research and saw that I should delete unactive plugins. Then I should
   also make all active plugins inactive and then one by one activate them to see
   which one was causing the issue. I deleted all unactive plugins and now when 
   I click on plugins nothing shows up at all.
 * Can anyone help me?? website is [http://www.eightbridgesbrewing.com](http://www.eightbridgesbrewing.com)
 * Thank you, Debbie

 * Your version of WordPress is substantially outdated, and has not been officially
   supported for some time. Your site appears to have suffered an SEO spam related
   compromise (read this as “you’ve been hacked”). While you don’t appear to be 
   blacklisted, you do seem to have a malware issue.
 * Carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
