Okay, well having “<meta content=”noindex,nofollow” name=”robots”>” in our homepage source is blocking the homepage and it’s links from being indexed, correct?

And that this code is usually applied when the privacy settings are chosen as “block search engines” and removed once “visible to everyone” is selected”

I too am blaming the restore of our site, although it seems like a simple fix. A removal of the above code in theory sounds like the solution to the problems. The new problem is where to find that code? It’s not in the header or similar. Would the privacy.php do it?

I just googled “gaming climax” too (we dont use a space, btw)

I get Facebook, Giveaways, Twitter, and the 4th link is ClimaxGaming, not GamingClimax. This is not our site. So still nothing for our homepage at gamingclimax.com – it has been indexed as the first result for the past 2 years.

Yes, we use Google webmaster tools. Fetching any page works great. Sitemaps submit just fine. If there is anything specifically that I could look at, that would be great, but I’ve looked through it dozens of times over the past weeks.

Edit: I signed out and cleared cache, no change.

WPyogi, you can see our homepage when googling? I get a bunch of categories, but not the homepage. Our webmaster tools reports dropping from 7000 indexed pages to under 2000 and still dropping.

I used https://ismyblogworking.com/www.gamingclimax.com also, and this alternates between saying not indexed by google and indexed with 401 results. Bing shows never indexed.

Furthermore, I just found “<meta content=”noindex,nofollow” name=”robots”>” in the source code. I understand this is added when the privacy setting is selected to block search engines, but that is not selected. It seems this code is not being removed when the privacy settings are changed.

Andrew – I believe you missed the gist of this topic. We were not hacked.

Anything?

Generic security lists have been tried. Unfortunately they do not assist with an exploit that made it to the site. This time I need some more specific guidance, and there does not seem to be a resource online of experienced exploit removers.

Well, as Mr Internet Police refuses to remove his link, this topic is 99% resolved.

It was removed for a reason. Please remove your link.

Looks like you are 2 for 2. Thank you very much. I have no idea why these pieces of code, which have been with my site since forever, have today decided they no longer wish to work.

My site skin ads get cut off at 1100px it seems, which is also the width of my wrapper. I changed my wrapper to 1400 temporarily, and while this did completely mess up the alignment of my site, the site skin did not get cut off anywhere. Any ideas on that part?

Thanks WP.

Removing z-Index fixed the header, but the 2 large black boxes on the side were still there.

Removing the background line removed the menu bar from the left and right edges.

As far as I am aware those have always been that way – it was still working.

Edited.

We had already changed that part.

It turned out to be in our “templates” listed on the pages section of the dashboard. They had been unselected during this process somehow.

Solved.
