Question

My website's homepage keeps redirecting to my other website, which is odd because I didn't do anything to make that happen. I already checked index.html and it is clean. What can it be? The site I am redirected to is also my site, but of course I don't want that to happen.

I hope someone can help me out.

PS: I don't believe I am hacked, because I am referred to my site.

I am using Wordpress btw.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Alright. How odd it might be and might sound, it was Google's Adsense banners that were causing this redirection. I had set a "show banners of this site" via Adsense if there were no ads... I removed the ad from my sidebar and now it is not redirecting anymore.

Damn it.

OTHER TIPS

I would write a comment but don't have the reputation to do so yet... Just a thought: did you copy one website from the other? Could there be a link in there somewhere that wasn't changed to the location of your new website?
