Hi guys... long time no see Smiley

Sorry I've not been around for a while... still trying to move away from SEO and Web design with varying degrees of success.

We have a new client who has a WP website and when looking at the cached page, i noticed a stack of links which really shouldn't be there.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Aogs0qybiHoJ:www.fastloansquickcash.co.uk/+fast+loans+quick+cash&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a

odd thing is they don't show on the normal page, just the cached version:
http://www.fastloansquickcash.co.uk

I can't see anything in the source code, and have been through the templates trying to find the culprip bit of code, but to no avail.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Dave

well it's all fixed now (hopefully), getting the client to update to the latest version of wordpress, and updating all his plugins has got rid of the spammy links... only time will tell if there is a back door and they may sneak back in.
