  I tried disabling all the plugins but sadly it didn’t work. I also look at my theme’s function.php but it does not contain any suspicious codes. It shows right before the </body></html> tags. Please help me find how to remove those elements

  Hi there,

  You seem to be WordPress.org user as you mentioned ‘function.php’. This forum is only dedicated to WordPress.com sites.
  If you’d like to know more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, check the page linked below: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I searched about your issue and found these two links helpful.
