    There are random words on some of my pages that are hyperlinked to spam sites. I can’t fix the hyperlink and when I delete one word that has the issue, then the problem switches to other words. Can anyone help?

    It can happen that malicious script might have been injected to your theme and the spam links might have been thrown through it.

    Why don’t you use the “Antivirus”security plugin and scan your theme for possible threat.

    I tried that and its not solving the issue. Is there a way to export all my content and reinstall it some how, without losing info?

    For the export and backup purpose there are many free good plugins available in the wordpress repository itself.

    One of them is

    Then you can go on with the reinstall process.
    Make sure you install a fresh copy of the theme you are using and regularly update it to prevent such issue in future.
