latest update

Hi Armin / Marius
I was just wondering if others had contacted you regarding their websites being Hacked?
I recently updated to the latest theme 3.0.0 and had updated all the plugins - ( I don't use any other
external plugins ) but two days after the update I was hacked and was receiving this message
404
Not Found
The resource requested could not be found on this server.
My hosts luckily keep updated backups, but they were able to tell me that the hack didn't happen through
the Cpanel or FTP and thought it must have been through the site itself!?
I have now reset my wordpress passwords - could it be that some security updates within the theme or
theme provided plugins have been missed??
Thanks

Dear @Toby
nothing about LayTheme but security of the server and Wordpress in general.Always use a safe password, for FTP, database, provider and Wordpress.
And stay updated.Wordpress websites are getting attacked quite a lot.
Best!

Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
