Didn’t detect malware

Did you do a high sensitivity scan? I had a similar issue which was a wordpress core file was modified with malicious code.

Also do you use a caching plugin? The direct malware stayed on my website until I cleared the cache… Hope this helps.

Thanks for relying Brizzol,

I’ve completed a high sens scan, but all it came up with was a minor change in my re-captcha plugin. This is the line of code which was missing – grecaptcha-badge { 14 visibility: visible;

Which I can’t see how that would influence the links.

I haven’t got any caching plugins and I’ve tried opeing it on several browsers, still getting redirect links and porn pop ups…very frustrating!

My only thought was whether the database has been hacked?

I’m trialing the free version of Wordfence before committing to buying the full package by the way so maybe less functionality??

Hold fire my host has picked it up. It was a java script in the footer??

javascript injection in the wp-content/themes/squadrone/footer.php

Curious to know why Wordfence didn’t pick it up?

No idea why it hasn’t been picked up. Is the theme you are using purchased officially? If you download free versions of paid themes they tend to come with some kind of malware attached.
