 * Eugk,
    As far as the actual lines of code that caused it, no I did not. But I
   disabled in dashboard editing of php scripts (and other hardening measures for
   wordpress) and I switched webhosting providers.
 * I was able to see in my logs over the next few days after switching providers
   that someone was hammering on the username that my ex-webhost had left on our
   wordpress for them to login and do maintenance. So I think that they must have
   had a weak password and that let someone malicious manipulate some of the PHP
   on my theme.
 * Its been resolved now with the new theme, so I’m just happy to be back to engineering
   microphones and not dealing with a malware plagued website anymore!

 * Catacaustic, thank you for your help. I was able to isolate by loading the site
   my own server that someone must have compromised my theme. I was able to download
   a new version of it upload it, get rid of the malicious code, then harden my 
   site.
 * I appreciate your help!
