I am desperate to remove infolinks from my site. I deactivated that “cursed” plugin, deleted it, removed it from FTP, still works on my site like nothing happened. I’ve never seen anything so forcefully imposing.
Now I cannot believe that even here there is no answer.
What should I do? There must be help.
I found some suggestion to download “ad remover” from Firefox, but I couldn’t install it, because source wasn’t supposedly verified, so I couldn’t do that either.
I think people who create that idiocy, should be responsible enough to provide choice.
It is very obnoxious thing, I regret the moment when I downloaded it. It was on suggestion of someone I trusted 🙂
I wonder if someone helps here.
Cannot believe that nobody has an idea how to.
Thanks,
Regards,

Well, isn’t that something, replying to myself. LOL!
But I hope some desperate souls as I was could use what I discovered and FINALLY got rid of INFOLINKS!
1. deactivate and remove plugin
2. /wp-content/themes/your-active-theme/footer.php
In my theme I clicked on “editor” in WP menu, then footer, then found it on that page totally at the bottom, just above /body/
so I removed this whole obnoxious thing, it looked like this:
<script name="124456d8-8096-11df-ab50-1231390698b3" src="http://izearanks.com/itk/show/mayakas-com" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var infolink_pid = 150615;
var infolink_wsid = 0;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://resources.infolinks.com/js/infolinks_main.js"></script>
Voila! What a relief!

FYI, the only problem with replying to yourself is that SOMETIMES the stupid spam catcher thinks ‘Hey! She replied to herself within minutes! SPAMMER!’ Sorry about that 😉 Also, I wrapped your code in the code tags to format it better.
Thank you for note. Still in my case it was just coincidence. I really spent lot of time and heavy stress was my companion to solve this. Out of desperation I wrote request for help.
Then being still at the same time involved in various searches “how to” I discovered this solution and I simply had to share my result with others who possibly were in a same maze.
My note “replying to myself” was put just out of simple amazement that it was myself actually who could respond positively to this problem.
Best regards,

Hi,
For some reason, my blog’s infolinks can’t be removed as well. I’ve searched on every php file I have and I can’t find any scripts related to this annoying green monster. Neither do i have the plug-in as well… *sigh*

They’re so fugly!
Another ‘replying to myself’ situation.
Turns out that it’s my WIBIYA toolbar that’s implementing the infolinks… while it did make a couple of bucks, it’s totally not worth it.
