    Updated plugins last week. Not sure if hacked but only noticed the link for the news blog redirects to another url.
    Looked at the .htaccess file. No redirect code there. Any suggestions on how to eliminate the redirect?

    Try scanning the site for signs of hacking:

    Thanks for your quick reply. Checked and clean. Also checked page which is being redirected. Says clean and displaying 301 redirect to another page of website. Wondering is therea way to trace where the redirect is written into the code and what file?

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Thanks for your help esmi,

    Somehow one of the plugins updated the news blog link with another. Don’t know how but solved it by recreating news blog page and linked to all posts again.
