My website showing ADs which I don't know

[Pam Danny]

One of my websites which I rarely service is showing ADs which are strange to me because I never connected it to any.

Can someone with experience guide me on where to check for the code to remove it?

The AD is totally taking over the homepage and seems the latest Google update favours the website because I'm seeing many visitors due to the chat system notifications

I remember they're was someone sometime ago who paid me to place AD codes for a 1-month test run. He didn't renew it, and I can't remember if I removed it or not.

No one can tell without looking at your website.

But as you claim that you placed code on your website, you should remove that code.

Without seeing you websiet it's so difficult to tell you

It's likely this is it since you don't remember removing it.

View your website's source code. Navigate to the section of your website where you see the ads, and see if you can find the ad codes there.

Depending on the ad type, ad codes are typically placed in the header(some Adsense ads) or inside widgets.

If you're able to figure where exactly the ads display on your site, then your problem is mostly solved.

Confirm if you removed the code first before any assumption.

Do you remember if they just wanted some html/javascript adding to your page, or if they wanted you to edit/insert any php files?

I cant remember details, but whatever it was, I was the one that placed it. I didn't give them access to my website

And yes, I am.

I checked inside the widgets, no such thing.
I really don't know how to get to the header to check.

You have a Popup Plugin installed, in there, there is a "Welcome popup" that fires on first page visit.

If you can disable that, it should be gone.

If i'm not mistaken, its this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/

You're right. I disabled it and its gone.
So what happened? Did the creator of the plugin hack it or what exactly?
