unwanted links

  • Unknown's avatar

    All the sudden words are being highlighted in the text of my blog and links are being added. I don’t want these words highlighted as it detracts from the meaning, especially when the links lead to annoying advertisments. How is my blog being pirated? How can I take the links off and how I can I prevent this from happening? I’ve been blogging for years and have never had this happen before.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there,

    This type of overwriting is caused by some extension on your browser, or by malware. I suggest disabling any extensions that might be causing this, and running an anti-virus program. This isn’t being added by WordPress.com. I DON’T see these links.

    I would also recommend that you clear your cache and cookies:

    Finally, you can check your site in Chrome to see if this is Firefox-related or something that’s coming from your computer.

    I really hope that helps you!
