Error: wp-blog-header.php: failed to open stream

Post by gela12 » Sun Apr 02, 2023 6:22 pm

Hello everyone, please help me. My site was working fine. I didn't change anything, and suddenly when I entered the site, only a white screen appeared. Then I turned php_flag display_errors on and the site displayed this message. What should I do to enable the site? Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Joomla forum!

The error message indicates that your website has been compromised, in other words, hacked. The file index.php in the main Joomla folder does not contain code that loads a file called wp-blog-header.php.

Read the sticky topics of the forum Security in Joomla 4.x and read the instructions how to follow best security practice and rebuild the website.
