Hi,

I just noticed a link on my site going to some casino page. My site is holyspiritempowers.com and the link is in the top right. I went to the element and it tells me its in element.style but I cannot find that anywhere. Is there other good security measures I can take to keep this type of thing from happening?

Thank you,

Marcus

Did you look in header.php for that code?

It depends on how they did it for what security measure to take. Could it be from a plugin, your theme, or a password? Not sure so I would do them all. Upgrade plugins, themes, change your password, ect.

I went to header.php and I just CTL F and searched for casino and found nothing. Looking at the element I can see what I need to delete using chrome. It is just a madder of finding it in the editor.

esmi I also ran a check and it did not come up with spam. Thank you both for all of the resources. I will keep busting away and try to get this done.

Thanks again

How did you go with solving this?

Are you running a plugin called “Featured Post”? I am, and I noticed the same link randomly appear on my site. I resolved the issue by removing that plugin. Since then, the link has not reappeared.

Hi everyone,

It turned out it was a hacked plugin I had on a few of my sites and a couple client sites. The plugin that I was using was G Translate.

It was a google translate pluging made by a 3rd party that added that link to those sites.

Thank you everyone for the support comments. Esmi I did go through all of that useful info as well.

Thanks again,

Marcus

I also tried looking for that plugin on www.ads-software.com and it had been removed. So some good news there.

I also noticed this morning that the casino link was showing up. Removed the G Translate plugin after reading Marcus’ post above – link is gone. Thanks Marcus!
