I decided to add the HTML to the footer of my theme. When I looked at the file there were tons of links embedded in a div that had a style of ‘display:none’ !!! I looked at the header and same thing, there were tons of hidden links. I of course deleted the divs from each file and all is well now.

It turns out that people’s WordPress themes are getting hacked for some reason. Here’s an article about it.

  1. Go into the root directory of your blog
  2. type ‘svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7 .‘  (make sure you refer to one of the right version tags here)
  3. Go to your browser and run http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

That’s it!  Really simple right?!
