Thanks for the reply – but earlier in the thread I mentioned that I had reinstalled the theme to get rid of the ads.
Yigit mentioned security plugins – which I have never had to use before….can you advise what type of plugin I would need to avoid this issue please?
I dont want to have to reinstall the theme each time it happens….however it happens.

help and guidance appreciated.thanks,
J

Thank you for the fast reply.
It was only in maintenance mode while I reinstalled the theme.
So it has removed the ads (temporarily), but i ant to remove them completely.
Could you give me more information about a security plugin? And some advice as to which one?
I have worked on WordPress sites for many years, and have never had this problem.
Which emails address should I use for your login?

Thank you,
Jodi
