hi,
last week ago I decided to check the traffic stats of my piwigo site artforweb.co.uk (royalty free images) and noticed major drop in traffic..
Checked my site in google analytics and immediately noticed spam keywords:
.. went to Google and started a search with my url and the results confirmed the problem.
screenshot of results in google search:
it appears that there was a problem with 1 plugin (can't remember the name.. appeared in source code as "pgl" or something like that.. didn't make a screenshot).. removed it and all the text mentions of spam drugs disappeared from the source of all the hacked pages (drugs didn't show up in backend, but were visible only in the source code).
what would be your suggestions to remove urls like these http://www.artforweb.co.uk/index.php?p= … eap-canada ?
here is the screenshot of my plugins:
piwigo: 2.7.4
MySQL: 5.5.42-37.1
thank you in advance,
Helmuts

It would be useful to know which plugin it was and if it is responsible for generating such URL.
Maybe somebody created some links to your website. I can for example give http://www.artforweb.co.uk/index.php?p=hello-helmuts
