    Help…

    I am in the process of setting up my site. The Link widget in the sidebar keeps showing a link for a real estate agent in India!! I’m in NYC…not interested in moving to Bangalore.

    I delete the link, and then a little while later it is back.

    Anyone have a clue as to why and how I get rid of this?

    Thanks in advance.

    You may have been hacked or are using a sponsored theme that keeps adding it back somehow.

    The entire footer.php in that theme appears to be encoded/encrypted. I would bet based on that alone, that you should discard that theme immediately.

    I’m having a similar issue with somethingbeautifulpodcast.com

    The links showed up today and added 5 links into a blogroll category. I deleted them all – but one keeps coming back.

    Check your page source for extraneous characters and/or links. Sounds like a hack. If your footer text also has extraneous text and/or links – do what Clayton suggested to the OP and get rid of the theme. Any theme that has ANY encoding or encryption in it isn’t worth keeping.
