  Hi @aditlwtomei,

  Your site adayinthelifewithtomei.com is using the self-hosted version of WordPress, and you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only :)

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  You need to check the functions.php file of your activated theme. This is mainly because of weak security management, or you might be using nulled plugins and themes.

  First of all, change your current theme and scan your whole website and database using Sucuri or any other plugin. Also, check your root folder, you need to delete all js files from your root folder.

  This might help you How To Secure WordPress With the All In One Security Plugin

  Thanks !!!

  I can’t install any plugins or remote the ones I have. I think it is a redirect hack.

  Please contact your hosting provider for help with this, as they’re the ones who control your site, not us.

  
  @arvindsinghu, please don’t provide support for self-hosted issues in this forum. Pointing someone in the right direction is fine, like pointing them to the support page at https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/ but please refrain from recommending specific plugins or giving advice like “you need to delete all js files from your root folder. ” The exact process to follow here would depend on a detailed diagnosis of what’s actually going on, and you have not done that.
