I am trying to locate links to external websites on my WordPress website , they are increasing the spam score of my website and I'm having trouble locating them , I've used Google search console to see the names of the links and the links that pop up for example are website/index.php/author/authorname/feed/ anyone have an idea on how I can locate this link and remove it ? Should i reather extend my search to file manager ? I know this is more seo but I think if anyone has an idea on how to get to the link it would be fellow developers . Thank you!
WordPress doesn’t store pages as files – everything is in the database.
Most SEO plugins let you turn off author pages.
Though tbh I doubt that has anything to do with your spam score.
Also, fix your permalinks – you shouldn’t have index.php in the url – that isn’t helping.
