 * Please help, I can’t access my online store. When I tried to go on to my site
   this morning I found the following error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /home/theapiar/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/backwpup/inc/class-admin.php on line 402
 * The relevant area of code for that plugin is as follows:
 *     ```
       public function admin_page_logs( $page_hooks ) {
   
           $this->page_hooks[ 'backwpuplogs' ] = add_submenu_page( 'backwpup', __( 'Logs', 'backwpup' ), __( 'Logs', 'backwpup' ), 'backwpup_logs', 'backwpuplogs', array( 'BackWPup_Page_Logs', 'page' ) );
   
           add_action( 'load-' . $this->page_hooks[ 'backwpuplogs' ], array( 'BackWPup_Admin', 'init_generel' ) );
   
           add_action( 'load-' . $this->page_hooks[ 'backwpuplogs' ], array( 'BackWPup_Page_Logs', 'load' ) );
   
           add_action( 'admin_print_styles-' . $this->page_hooks[ 'backwpuplogs' ], array( 'BackWPup_Page_Logs', 'admin_print_styles' ) );
   
           add_action( 'admin_print_scripts-' . $this->page_hooks[ 'backwpuplogs' ], array( 'BackWPup_Page_Logs', 'admin_print_scripts' ) );
   
           return $page_hooks;
   
       }
       ```
   
 * I can’t see anything wrong with the code, but there has to be something there.
   Can anyone help me out with the unexpected ‘)’ – I don’t want to delete the wrong
   thing.

 * Hey, It’s hard not to see what’s wrong!
 * There are a few kilobytes of malicious code at the top of the file. And most 
   likely the file itself is corrupted. It’s this hack:

 * You need to restore everything from a clean backup, reinstall plugins (make sure
   you update them all) and delete the maliciouc admin user.

 * Yeah I didn’t know what that was but didn’t know enough about this to delete 
   it. I’m just wondering how I go about restoring everything from a backup when
   I can’t access the site. I’ve looked through a lot of other files via FTP and
   it seems that malicious code seems to be everywhere.
    I don’t know how/if a restore
   can be done through CPanel or Win SCP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Just reinstall WordPress to restore core files. Then disable all plugins by renaming
   the wp-content/plugins directory. FTP is enough for that.
    At this point you 
   should be able to login into WordPress.
 * Check for the malicious admin user (it has no name) and delete it.
