Title: Obfuscator plugin Last modified: December 2, 2020 --- # Obfuscator plugin * [adilm99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adilm99/) * (@adilm99) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obfuscator-plugin/) * Dears, can any one help me with this/ * We had a site WP with Obfuscator plugin, then we have moved all the documentroot to archive, and now all our content is encrypted. * We had a site WP with Obfuscator plugin, * Just curious why you did this? * > is there any way to decrypt it ? * Install the said plugin back to decrypt it? * Or restore from backup? * And if you don’t run (at least) daily, automated backups of your site, that’s a problem you need to fix immediately going forward. * Thread Starter [adilm99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adilm99/) * (@adilm99) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obfuscator-plugin/#post-13734300) * That was a junior developer that did it, no recent backup was made, all backup files are encrypted, so you are telling me that if I install the same plugin it can decrypt it ? * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obfuscator-plugin/#post-13734405) * > so you are telling me that if I install the same plugin it can decrypt it ? * That was just a thought to explore… * I have no idea how this “Obfuscator plugin” works and how even backups got encrypted. Neither do I know if the said “Obfuscator plugin” includes a decryption feature or not. * Was this a malicious act? * If not, how did you get hold of this “Obfuscator plugin”? And have you reached out to the plugin’s author for help? * Is this plugin FREELY distributed publicly so I can take a look? * One thing is for sure: there’s nothing we can do here directly to help you decrypt the actual files/backup (other than thinking out loud with you as I’m doing now). * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/obfuscator-plugin/#post-13736002) * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/miniorange-php-guard/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/miniorange-php-guard/#new-post) so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. * Plugins like this disappoint me… it’s a finger in the face of open source.
