    some of my posts on a site has been compromised with script text being added to the end of each post.

    The edit button just refreshes the page instead of opening post for edit.

    can this be fixed?

    Hi @lcslouis and thanks for seeking our assistance with this issue.

    It sounds like you may need to clean the site or at least follow the checklist here:
    https://www.wordfence.com/docs/how-to-clean-a-hacked-wordpress-site-using-wordfence/

    Make sure and get all your plugins and themes updated and update WordPress core too. If you are on an older branch (WordPress 4.x etc) because you wanted to wait before installing the latest version because of Gutenberg or a custom theme compatibility you still need the latest update in that version. Those can be found here:
    https://wordpress.org/download/releases/
    WordPress sometimes patches their older releases if they find a vulnerability so make sure to update your version if needed. We, of course, recommend that you update to the latest version.

    As a rule, any time I think someone’s site has been compromised I stress that passwords for their hosting control panel, FTP, WordPress admin users, and database are updated. Make sure to do this also.

    Additionally you might find the WordPress Malware Removal section in our free Learning Center helpful.

    If you are unable to clean this on your own there are paid services that will do it for you. Wordfence offers one and there are others. Regardless if you choose to clean it yourself or let someone else do so, we recommend that you make a full backup of the site beforehand.

    Let me know how you get on!

    Thanks,

    Peter.
