  1. My sitemap contains only pages and posts. There is no sitemap for products, categories or files. I don’t know why they have appeared in the first place.

    My site has nothing in common with these topics and these spammy PDF files.

    Idk what to do, plese help

  2. How long is a piece of string… Looking at the URL – do you use the forminator plugin?

    Possibly some fake submissions attaching pdfs? Either that or potentially a site hack.

  3. Your not alone, there are suggestions in that post from forminator admins.

    Personally for safety sake I would install Word fence and run a scan, as those links sound hacky. If it gets nothing then your fine, just add the code to the robots file to ban scanning of the forminator_temp folder.
