I have a website that got hacked, and many pages with sex terms were inserted. I cannot see them when browsing through my website, only directly, and then I see a page on my site for one second and it gets re-directed to a video sex site.

I was told the problem is with one of my plugins,
tried to remove them and that didn’t help.
How can I fix this?

Check your theme footer for strange code or an iframe.

Also what is your website url?

The footer doesn’t have anything strange in it.

You can view the problem here:

@polaplo: No need to help the hacker’s SEO by posting the link. See FAQ: My site was hacked « WordPress Codex and How to completely clean your hacked wordpress installation and How to find a backdoor in a hacked WordPress and Hardening WordPress « WordPress Codex and tell your host. Change all passswords. Scan your own PC.

How important is your blog to you?

If it’s really important then I’d simply hire someone to fix it for you as it appears you are not qualified for it. Then once you get it patched up and as good as new, install the WordPress File Monitor plugin.

It’ll tell you if any of your files change and which files they were, that way next time you’ll know exactly where you need to go to fix the problem.

Also, install the Login Lockdown plugin and the WordPress Firewall or Firewall 2 plugin.
