I’m having some issues with the latest version of WP, so I’m holding out on it for sometime.

I had something like this happen to my sites about a month ago, fortunately I was about to get the code out.

Jean I’m sorry to hear that something similar happened to you. There isn’t a whole lot you can do other than ensuring your wordpress is always the most recent version and you use a secure password. I’m sure there is some kind of monitoring service you could use that would detect this.

I find a lot of themes that have hidden links so we should be more careful before using a theme. Always double check the codes that no links are hidden.

I found the same problem with the bbpress theme called Inove.

*sigh* I have figured it out, someone inserted some code into the footer of the website, which is why Google was telling me there were all these spam keywords on my webpages. Is there anyway to make sure this doesn’t happen, if the website is wordpress based? Is there an article you would recommend?

Till then,

Wow that’s pretty sneaky

@Metal Briefcase when did that happen? Was it recently? Speaking of which… a few months ago I saw that there were alot of spam like keywords showing up for my website under Google Webmasters, but I never found anything hidden or those words on my website, it was weird… but its gone now… and showing up as normal on Google’s Webmaster tools.

We all see the bogus links in the footers of some blogs, and you really should be getting rid of them.

I had a site that the customer picked out that had an encrypted footer that contained alot of the CSS code so if you deleted the footer it malformed the page.. such a pain. I tried to buy an non-encrypted version but no such luck.
