It’s not Contact Form 7’s output. Ask the theme author instead.
I already have asked, and it’s definitely a Contact Form 7 snippet as can be seen from the code.
Also – to prove a point, I just deactivated Contact Form 7 and checked the source code again – and the offending code has now disappeared.
Ergo – it is Contact Form 7’s output.
Ergo, I’m now using another contact form as I dont want to be associated with a possible ‘hidden links’ scam.
Dunno who marked this post as resolved, but it most certainly is not.
Being washed over, more like.
So where is the code coming from?
Right, with the help of Thomas at CyberChimps, I think the issue has been solved.
I deactivated a plugin called ‘Contact Form 7 Customiser’ and the offending line of code has now gone.
Apologies for taking it out on the plugin author, but if something is masquerading under the umbrella of CF7 and dropping hidden links into the source code, I’d respectfully suggest that a warning notice be placed on the offending plugin, so that future instances can be resolved speedily.
