After cleaning up my hacked site all links go to "Not Found"

Hi there,
my site has been hacked. I found a lot of files using https://forums.modx.com/thread/94643/how-to-clean-up-your-hacked-webspace and removed them. After cleaning everything up I have access to my starting page, to the manager with all ressources/elements and files, but all links are moving to a 404 “Not found” page. All wayfinder links at the frontend and at the backend I see all entries

but if I click display I just get the Not Found. I thought it’s an FURL problem, cleared the cache, renamed .htaccess to ht.access, disabled FURLS in system settings but the problem’s still existing.

Any idea?

I’m using MODX Revolution 2.7.1-pl

Thank you for your help!

does it find and run your index.php?

Yes, it’s finding my index.php, but the navigation links are leading in 404.

4

so, are you saying wayfinder generates wrong links, or MODX redirects all requests to the Not Found - page?

When in doubt, delete the cache :wink:

Hello, I have the very same problem, but being new to MODX I would like to know better what Core/cache folders/files I can delete safely. All in public>>core>> cache? Thanks

I have the same problem and after deleting all core/cache folders the problem persists! need help.

I deleted everything inside the cache folder. Don’t forget to delete your browser cache as well to control the result.
