While you wait, don't do these three things

  • 🗑️Don't delete anythingNot files, not plugins, not the "suspicious" folder. Whatever is there is what your technician reads to work out what happened.
  • Don't restore an old backup over itRestoring on top usually overwrites the evidence and, if the way in is still open, you get re-infected within hours.
  • 🧑‍🔧Don't let anyone else start work on itTwo people changing things at once turns a one-hour fix into a three-hour one. Your technician calls shortly.
Want the call to go faster? Answer what you know Optional — every answer is one less question on the call. "Not sure" is a fine answer.

Why this happens

Divi renders your design from shortcodes — so when the Divi theme or builder fails, pages fall back to raw shortcode soup. It looks like your site was deleted; it's actually just the renderer down. The usual suspects mirror Elementor's: version mismatches between Divi and WordPress/PHP, a failed update that half-applied, static CSS files gone stale, or an addon conflict. Your layouts are stored safely in the database — the job is bringing the renderer back and pinning the versions so it stays back.

Questions about this fix

No — those shortcodes ARE your design, un-rendered. Fixing the renderer brings the visuals back exactly as they were.
Blunt reinstalls sometimes work and sometimes destroy customizations. We diagnose first — most cases need one targeted fix, not a rebuild.
Same service, same fee — each builder just gets its own page because the symptoms look different.
Book anyway via our emergency page (/sample/site-rescue-experts/emergency) — the diagnostic call sorts the label, and the $29 credits to whatever the fix turns out to be. Afterwards, a care plan (/sample/site-rescue-experts/website-care-plans) keeps it from happening again.
