  Good Morning!
  And Happy Thursday!

  I hope you all can help me with a small issue I’ve been wondering about. I have the free version of wordpress and I have really loved everything it offers. I was updating my site these past few weeks and I noticed this very long link at the bottom of my home page.

  This is the link that appears right near the very bottom of the page:
  https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=AwrTccr31jJXs7gA9zdjmolQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBzbTM5cGVhBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkA0IyMDQ0XzE-?p=youtube+weirdos+janelle+torres&tnr=21&vid=A2923589B1E33A8F1E91A2923589B1E33A8F1E91&l=523&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.V3db3b975f747c4fc80c5a6bf98a92e52%26pid%3D15.1&sigi=12bo6sp1s&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOHm-RqPwVpU&sigr=11b1kc7b5&tt=b&tit=Weirdos&sigt=1072gmcq6&back=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fyhs%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dyoutube%2Bweirdos%2Bjanelle%2Btorres%26vm%3Dr%26type%3Dsearch_6%26param1%3D18246433%26param2%3D363797%26param3%3D0%26param4%3D-1564370920%26hsimp%3Dyhs-prodege_001%26hspart%3Dprodege%26fr%3Dyhs-prodege-prodege_001%26ei%3DUTF-8&sigb=16qdu4lvv&hspart=prodege&hsimp=yhs-prodege_001&vm=r

  I clicked on it once and I have no idea why it is there. I don’t know if I accidentally added this link somehow. I have been trying to remove it but have had no success. It doesn’t show up anywhere on the edit screen which made me wonder if it might be a glitchy ad of some sort.
  I really hope you can help me with this! It’s driving me bonkers! LOL!

  Thank you all so much! Have a wonderful day, weekend, and stay safe!

  Hi there,

  Is this on https://vanessadunsavage.wordpress.com/?

  Go to My Site ->Design ->Customize ->Theme Options ->Homepage Template. You’ll see that link added as the Video URL.

  It looks like you tried adding that as a featured video for the site at some point, but that’s a link to a Yahoo Video search result, rather than the actual video – that’s a Youtube video, so you’d need the direct link, https://youtu.be/lJfORBd5v64, to add it to the theme instead.
