It is a custom header, which is within a custom-built theme (someone made if for me, but now I can’t get hold of them). * Any ideas at all as to where I can find this rogue hyperlink code in the PHP files of my WP, so that I can delete it once and for all? * Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Also have you just used plugins from WordPress. org? * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/offending-code-in-source/#post-6120684) * > It is a custom header, which is within a custom-built theme (someone made if > for me, but now I can’t get hold of them… * You could have been hacked, but the spam link is in your menu, so check your menus first. The link could have simply been put in by the theme author. * But also see [FAQ – My Site Was Hacked](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked). * Thread Starter [smoothiefresh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smoothiefresh/) * (@smoothiefresh) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/offending-code-in-source/#post-6120707) * Thanks, guys. I’ve checked the site and there’s no malware there at all – it’s come up clean on a number of different checks. * My suspicion is that it’s been someone written in to the affected plugin code( plugin in question is myStickyMenu). I’ve sent a message to the plugin author for his assistance, as I’m unable to figure out how to edit the plugin itself( i.e. to indeed customise my sticky menus). * Fingers crossed. * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/offending-code-in-source/#post-6120709) * I doubt it’s that plugin; the source code for the plugin is clean. Switch to the twentyfifteen theme for a minute, with the same menus, and see if the link is there. * Thread Starter [smoothiefresh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smoothiefresh/) * (@smoothiefresh) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/offending-code-in-source/#post-6120817) * Did as you suggested songdogtech and you’re right, it’s not the plugin. I thought it was because that’s where the the dodgy link appears. Incidentally, the link has now changed to some rubbish “shemale” crap, so there’s definitely something wrong with the theme, I think. I’m having a look at it now (it’s a custom theme), but as I’m not tech-minded, I’ll muddle through until I find it. * Thread Starter [smoothiefresh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smoothiefresh/) * (@smoothiefresh) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/offending-code-in-source/#post-6120819) * I found it! It was a super-long pharmahack thread right at the top of my site’s functions.php file. I’ve removed it and all seems fine. I’m also installing WordFence as we speak to search for any suspicious system admin logon attempts. See what that throws up.
