I have a Wordpress website with Vidahost? What sort of digging do you need to do?

What sort of digging you want to do?

We've been a victim of a URL injection. There's loads pf pages appearing on google with Chinese/Japanese writing on, all the pages are being indexed by google and appearing at the top of their searches, if Googlebot renders the homepage, it sees one of these pages, whereas if you actually go to the site you'll see the real homepage.

 

I'm no expert when it comes to web development, I usually just manage new content through Joomla, but there's nothing on there, and I know enough about cPanel to go about changing settings etc. I Created a new sitemap.xml but that stop the Googlebot picking up the weird pages.

Could you let me have the url and I will have a look.

What version of joomla is the site on?

When you search Google for the site, what search term do you use? I'd like to see what comes up.

 

If you wanna pm instead of putting on here that's fine.
