This issue can be resolved with patience and you must follow several steps. In my opinion: 1. First check the file and folder permission. Files must be 644 and folder must be 755. Do it with filezilla i think it is very ease. Search youtube for tutorial. 2. Intall Wordfence. 3. Move wp-config.php outside public_html folder. 4. Check all themes header.php and footer.php for suspicious code snippets.

HTTPS wont protect you from getting hacked. You need to figure out how the hack is happening before you can prevent it.

I would recommend using Sucuri as a first line of defense and then see if you're still getting hacked. Other things I would do is make sure that all the wordpress files and your plugins are unmodified and from the original source. If your files/plugins have been compromised, it wont matter as you'll keep getting hacked.

Also make sure the theme you're using doesnt have any security holes/flaws.
