Hi,
I have an urgent problem to solve: my blog http://www.3dprinting.lighting (using Newsmag template) has been performing well for nearly 3 years. Now, at once, it is forwarded to another fraudulent website and my complete site has disappeared from the web.
My hosting provider spent over 2 days to work through the wordpress environment and tried to find a solution, with zero result. There’s no malware or frauduleus scripts been found, they think the script (the referral) comes from somewhere outside, and is brought in from time to time in one of the website scripts. As they are not malware expert or WordPress specialists, it is just guessing what’s going on. Resulting from this, my blog is completely whipped out from the search engine (Google) and Adsense earnings declined.
I need urgent help from a professional to solve this problem as my hosting company after two days of trying is not able to solve it.
With kind regards,
Marco de Visser
Check in the theme panel of your website – do you see any suspicious code in the ‘Ads’ section – under either header / sidebar ad?
Then, under the ‘custom code’ part of the theme panel do you see any suspicious JS code?
If you do, then you should immediately either upgrade your theme, or (also) install WordFence and activate the firewall there. Edit – not to mention, delete the code…!
Let me know how you get on.
P.s. I’m not representing the developers but just offering my help.

Hi Chris,
Many thanks for your constructive suggestions! I finally detected a suspicious script in one of the Ad plugins, during earlier investigations by my hosting firm (and myself) we have overlooked it likely. All seems to be back on track now. Just need to find out how to get back into Google and how to be removed from the blacklist.
All your suggestions are very helpful in order to enhance the future security of my blog, so thanks again for sharing!
Have a great weekend,
KR-

Hi Andrex,
Finally your tips did me help to detect the suspicious malware, which was, indeed, placed in the Ad section / Header. So your first assumption was right!
All is removed and replaced now with the correct codes, passwords changed etc.
Thanks so much for offering your help, it is greatly appreciated, hope I will be back in Google soon (and removed from any blacklists…).
Have a wonderful weekend and, again, thank you for your warm support!
Best regards,
Marco
