• Today when I went to one of my blogs I almost immediately got redirected to Google. Here is the link– https://www.romanceunleashed.com/blog
    I have no explanation for this–I have emailed my web space provider, but thought I would see if anyone here had a suggestion as to what has happened. I can’t see why someone would hack and redirect my blog to google.
    Thoughts? It is only effecting this folder. The site itself is fine and actually only the index page–I can get into wp-admin fine.
    Thanks,
    Lori

  • Just a guess – are you using the Democracy plugin? Or anything else that allows visitors to enter text?

    Try disabling plugins and see if that lets you load your main page.

    That was it!! They had put code in as an entry. Is there any way to stop that and still allow people to enter their own choices?
    Also I tried to just deactivating the plug in and it hosed up the page, as in posts didn’t show. Then I found the culprit, deleted it and just deactivated that poll. Now the posts are showing in the wrong font. Did they do something to override my style sheet too that I’m not seeing?
    What a royal pain in the…
    Thanks so much!!!

    Never mind on the CSS question, I figured that one out. But is there a way to stop the misuse of the Democracy? I did like letting people enter their own choices.
    Thanks again!

    I think the plugin author is working on a new version, but from what I gather, until he’s done your best and maybe only option is to remove the plugin.

    Thanks–it should still be okay as long as I don’t let them enter their own choices, though–right?
    Thanks again!!

    I don’t know, I don’t use it. Maybe someone else will be along eventually who uses it.

    Didn’t I see an announcement here in the forums about Democracy v2 last night?

    My friend’s site just had this happen too — he insists on letting readers put in answers into democracy and what happens? They insert a script.

    Thanks for just having this thread.
