Hijacked Ads on blog
I was over at the Yeepage and I realised that I had the same problem last weekend. Think it was Saturday morning that I noticed the huge search page loading above the header of my blog. I had the same thought that someone may have gained entry to my cPanel or sorts and immediately went forth to change my login passwords.
After I did that, I did a line by line scrutiny of the codes on my blog. You can do this very easily if your have Firefox loaded as your browser.
- Launch Firefox
- Load your blog (go to the URL)
- Right-click anywhere on the page
- Scroll down to ‘View Page Info’
- Select it
I immediately noticed that one of the plugins that I was using on WordPress (WP-SEO-Master v0.95) was trying to force a code on the very first line and creating an error on the second line.
I would have logged in to my WP dashboard to disable the plugin but the error on the second line was preventing me from doing so. Instead, I decided to login to cPanel, look for the plugin folder, and deleted the plugin. Problem solved after that. I strongly suggest that you stay away from the above plugin.
