Hi,
On a few of my blogs that used to work fine, an error started popping up at the bottom:
Not Found
The requested URL /plugin/api/get_link.php was not found on this server.
It looks like it is in the footer where it usually says 'proudly powered by WordPress.'
I googled this error message and I can see that lots of people's blogs have this same error.
I'm using 2.9.2.
Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it?
Thanks, Susie

My first thoughts would be this is related to a plugin, perhaps one that is using a deprecated function call. I searched the error message and looked at several sites where this message is occurring. There is a great deal of malformed code in the footer of these sites.
I would suggest deactivated your plugins either all at once then reactivating one at a time to find the plugin that may be causing this issue; or, check after deactivating each plugin until the error message goes away.
If you are able to pinpoint which plugin(s) is causing this issue I am certain the author would appreciate knowing about it.
PS: You might consider upgrading to the most current version of WordPress as well, as of this writing it is version 3.0.1.

Hi,
Nope, that didn't do it. I deactivated all my plugins and I see get the error.

Did you try a "hard-refresh" to force you browser to reload a fresh version of the page? There could be something cached causing issues ... although deactivating ALL of your plugins should have removed the error message with a normal or soft-refresh of the page.

Well I upgraded to WP 3.0.1 and that still didn't fix it. Same error.
This is the full error:
Not Found
The requested URL /plugin/api/get_link.php was not found on this server.

">WordPress 2.1

It's interesting that part of the error says WordPress 2.1 when that isn't my version. Is that a clue?

Just tried clearing my browser cache. No change.

Ah! I think the problem is in the theme itself and is related to my site being hacked. I found this in the footer.php:
get_wp_results('f')
which seems to be related to a hack.
So my guess is that the hacked footer code had been doing something before but now it show the error.

If you were "hacked" ... well, anything is possible related to it. As to the reference to WordPress version 2.1, that is when the get_link() function was deprecated.
