RE: How To Protect WordPress Website From Hackers
There's quite a lot of things you can do to stop being hacked:

1. The obvious ones:
  • Have a complicated and long password;
  • Remove the user named Admin - use a differnet name and make sure that name doesn't appear in any of your posts;
  • Rename your wp-admin to something else so it's more difficult to find it; Ensure your WP and plugins are upto date in order to avoid vulnerabilities.

2. Install a Security Plugin - I like All in One WP Security but there are others around - google and see which one you like best; Some security plugins really slow your site down - so be careful.
Make sure you set your directory permissions properly - this plugin tells you what to do.

3. Put your site behind Cloudflare - it's free and easy to use;

4. If you've been hacked, chances are they've left backdoor access to your site - check in Cpanel for ftp accounts and ensure there aren't any with remote access. If there are -DELETE them asap.

That should be enough to protect you from hackers. Hope that helps and good luck.
