  • Well, for starters it appears you are using a WordPress theme that has spammy links in the footer, so it is possible that the whole theme might be encrypted and full of some not so nice stuff, so you may want to read through your theme files and check that out first!

    If the theme is encrypted or there are any php codes you don’t recognize as being standard wordpress codes (be especially wary of your functions.php file!) I would suggest to switch to a free theme from www.remarpro.com’s theme library or choose one from a reputable theme provider. (You can install the theme just by going to Appearances -> Themes -> Add New)

    To make the “home” page the actual homepage, all you have to do is go to settings -> Reading -> And choose that page from the drop down as the static page.

    Thank you that worked like a charm.

    I see the footer is strange but I really like this theme. Unfortunately the footer is encrypted so I cant edit it, perhaps someone with some coding skill might help me? ??

    It looks like you got a new theme! I think it looks nice – I like it more than the other one!

    Un-encrypting a theme is pretty difficult without a good knowledge of html & php – a lot of themes will purposely encrypt parts in the footer that have div classes or php codes that without them will “break” the theme to make it either generate errors or just look strange. Using firebug & viewing the page source can help you see the css/html and then you can use that to build a new theme – but it can be very frustrating!
