Just a white page that says

An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.


Its been happening a lot now and I'm not sure what causes it or how to fix it my url is www.enixorigin.com any ideas or suggestions?

You HAVE to keep up with WordPress versions and add-ons in use. There have been multiple attack vectors found in it over the last several months (I normally am having to do updates every couple of days on my sites).

Every PHP file is going to be in question. Best thing to do is wipe the VPS and start it over and make sure you have updated everything. You also will need to change any of your SSH passwords (yours and root) and any DB passwords for WP and XenForo.

You can probably keep the DB's, but I'd have questions on the WP one. You will need to replace all the files with new versions.

Thank you, I will certainly take a look at what addons I have and delete whichever I don't need. I just recently upgraded to the newest version of wordpress on the wordpress admin panel. Also, I updated the config with the one you gave me and its still looking a bit odd on my forum page

Pretty sure this is going to be a WordPress issue

that's probably because there are several other php files with the base64 in it (like index.php, etc).

You're right index.php has it to. Just what I need lol. My best best is deleting it all and starting over. That is disappointing news, at least I know why now.

Just to keep you all updated...

For wordpress I installed wordfence which helped me determine which files were hacked, I removed the hacked codes and wordpress is clean now... did the same for xenforo and at the moment my forum is up. I changed EVERY password I had and now I hope this ends this issue. Thank you all for your assistance, patience, and guidance.

I use Wordfence on 2 of the sites I have (WordPress) - my wife's blog and the one I set up for the pharmacy temporarily on my server until they decide if they want to keep a web presence or not. I don't worry about it on mine as I'm in the back end constantly and always doing updates for it. I just never got around to installing it yet on mine.

A friend of mine recommended it to me, he told me I could thank him later .... but after installing it I can surely say its amazing. It pointed me exactly to the php files that were infected. It also scanned all comments, users, and posts for malware of potential hacks. I'm impressed.
