Guy’s I cannot work anymore. I have the NewspaperVersion: 6.6.5 only because when I installed the lates NewspaperVersion: 8, the website host gave me errors.

Now I have some third-party website taking over the entire domain. So if you go to my website thecromerreader.com, it redirects to some spam website. For the time being, I am using WP default template.

Please help!!!

Hi,

You seem to have installed theme version 8 from what I can see at the moment. I have browsed the website for a while, no strange redirects happened while doing it. It could have been a plugin, or custom code, or theme modification. A fresh install and deactivating all plugins except what is included in the theme package, should resolve the issue. Or installing a safe backup.
Whatever that might have been, it seems it is gone now.
You could check these security advice from this topic
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-good-basic-security-practices/
Here you can check the changelog to see what changed in the theme during the previous updates
https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
The latest version also is the introduction of the new front-end tagDiv composer

Future updates will add more features and options to this page builder exclusively.

Thanks

hi, I’m actually having the same issue, and its redirecting me to the same site..
as long as I’m not logged in, once logged in everything is fine, my hosting is Heartsinternet and they managed to fox one of my sites but are asking me to check my files for any issue
but one of my other sites which is also using the theme is still being redirected

and I saw another post with the same issue, not saying its the theme but it would be great if you guys could have a look

found a quick fix
switching to the latest php version seems to work, but I have found the malicious code
‘%%traffictrade%%’

searching for this in your DB will show you exactly where it is

its a Database issue and not a theme issue
