# Plugin.php issues after hack attack recovery

 * My website [http://www.restaurants-uncut.com/](http://www.restaurants-uncut.com/)
   was hacked on 3rd May by some Arab calling himself the Joker. His real name is
   probably Ziad because he created folders on my site with that name.
 * The hacker deleted wp-admin and wp-include folders and added a number of his 
   own files in addition to modifying index.php and .htaccess.
 * Although I’ve removed all the malicious code I could find and restored the wp-
   admin and wp-include folders from the back-up, the site is still unable to run
   and gives the following error:
 * **Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback,
   function ‘sanitize_comment_cookies’ not found or invalid function name in /home/
   restaura/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395**
 * Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function‘
   _close_comments_for_old_posts’ not found or invalid function name in /home/restaura/
   public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 220
 * I’ve tried to find the meaning of this error on this forum and elsewhere but 
   to no avail.
 * I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what this means and what
   should I do next to completely restore my website.

 * delete wp-admin and wp-includes folder, next upload fresh copy of them from oryginal
   [wp package](http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.2.1.zip). Replace all wp files 
   in your blog root directory.
    All plugins should be also replaced.
 * If this does not help, [reset plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   and replace theme to rwenty eleven.
 * Finally, check all not overwritten files, upgrade wp to the latest version and
   [secure it](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
