XML-RPC URL screwy – Jetpack upgrade?

    An error -32700 told me to remove the extra stuff added to my URL at https://shalavee.com/xmlrpc.php which is preventing me from posting to other blogs or reinstalling the Jetpack which I deactivated thinking it was the problem.
    It looks like this
    XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.</title><style>.cci7{position:absolute;clip:rect(463px,auto,auto,425px);}</style><div class=cci7>cash advance lenders online</div>
    And what is that on the end? Is Jetpack’s stat counter to blame?
    I have visited my hosting web folder but don’t dare touch anything there. Any suggestions and mind you I am not a developer but a plain Jane blogger?
    Thanks,
    Shalagh

    This last link shows that your site includes malicious files, that inject spam links on some of the pages of your site.
    The malicious files could be part of a plugin, your theme, or could have been added by a hacker if your site was compromised.

    I would recommend that you start by switching to another theme like Twenty Eleven, and see if the link disappears.
    If it doesn’t, deactivate all your plugins, one at a time, and see if one of them includes this spam link.

    If the problem is not caused by one of your plugins, you will have to follow the steps described here to get rid of the malicious files:

    Once you have found the source of the problem and got rid of it, start by changing your passwords to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and then try to connect Jetpack to WordPress.com once again.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Dear Jeremy,
    Wow. I stuck her in 2012 and the evilness was gone. Not sure how to proceed except with a redesign but it seems the universe is ushering me forward. Thank you for helping me engineer a step towards happiness.
    Love,
    Shalagh

    Since you used a Premium theme on your site, I would strongly recommend that you contact the theme author and let them know about the issue. They should be able to remove the link form your your theme, so you won’t have to redesign your site.
