 * A thought; that the sitemap is just reflecting your infection.
 * I am by no means an expert, but I follow the security company Sucuri and I’ve
   heard about these types of infections often…SEO Spam sounds like what you are
   suffering from (usually not detectable to ordinary visitors).
 * You should check that you are running the latest WordPress version for starters.
 * Sucuri offer a helpful free site checker: [https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/](https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/)
   
   Do you have a known good backup you could use to go back to? (being able to check
   that the backup shows no signs of the infection you are seeing) – and then you
   would need to patch the initial vulnerability. Sucuri have some helpful information
   on their blog/site about infections and they can also help you get to the bottom
   of the issue (for a fee) if you don’t have a known good backup that you can use
   yourself or be able to clean up the problem.
 * Here are some links to some helpful guides:
