All google results for a wordpress site redirect to spam links
[ad_1]
A friend of mine runs clothing website https://www.weedzor.com and when i search for it on google all links that come up redirect to spam links once clicked. What can I do to get rid of it?
i think you have an infected web site actually, to resolve you have to clear the hosting from the files that not are part of wordpress or ripristinate a backup, if you give us more details of what you have (backups, snapshot, is wp-admin accessible, ecc) we can help you better
Make a backup of the site, in case it’s going south.
Turn off all the plugins, switch back to WordPress default theme
1. If the issue still persists, you might have to dig deeper into the files, see what files were modified and see if you could reverse it.
2. If the issue isn’t there any more, try to switch the theme back, and see if that causes the issue. If it does, then you are going to have to dig into the theme and see what’s wrong. If the issue isn’t there, proceed to the next step.
3. Enable the plugin, one by one. After enabling a plugin, refresh the page to see if it causes any issue. Do this until you find out which one is infected.
Once you solve everything, update your themes, plugins and cores and make a backup.
Your site has been hacked. Install Wordfence and run a scan. Typically this happens due to an old or outdated plugin being used
This happened to my site in 2021, pages would redirect to crypto sites and one millionth visitor spam pages. Backing up the database and files did nothing, several malware checks found nothing, I had to pay for GoDaddy’s malware service, it was around 30GBP for a one time service, 24 hours later the site worked perfectly
I’ve since moved from GoDaddy to Siteground and don’t know if they offer the same service today, but maybe worth looking at something similar
As many have mentioned your site is hacked and infected. The redirect are common compromises. You cannot simply adjust your htaccess file to fix the issue as it is not the root cause. You have two options: restore a previous backup prior to when it was infected (assuming you know when it started and you have a backup) or repair the infection. There are plugins that can help as others have mentioned and there are services that most hosting companies provide to clean your sites.
