# Hack resolution

 * I recently had four sites hacked simultaneously. Bluehost provided a backup restore
   which brought everything back. I made sure I had the latest version of WP, checked
   there were no updates to plugins, which I do daily, and changed my passwords 
   using the cPanel generator. The following day the external sites were fine but
   the dashboards only contained a list on the left of hyperlinks that don’t work.
 * I deleted the plugins through cPanel which has brought back two of the dashboards,
   but two remain messed up. I uploaded the wp-admin folder from a previous backup
   but this hasn’t worked either.
 * I’ve scanned my machine which didn’t throw up any bugs and I’ve checked the condition
   is the same in other browsers, which it is.
 * Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

 * You can try manually uploading the WP core again using FTP.

 * Thanks for taking the time to respond David. When you say ‘WP core’ could you
   just elaborate a bit please.

 * Can you export your data, download plugins and themes and reinstall?
