Hi!

Something puts russian links onto my K2 pages.

I tried to post this on this forum with code too, but the forum rejects it as malware. :)
So I posted it on Stackoverflow, here is a link:

StackOverflow question about this problem

My problem is, I cannot find out, what puts the russian links inside that div, which belongs to /components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

Any idea how to find it and get rid of it?

Hello,

Make sure to check your overrides as well.
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Nope, sorry, my template doesn't have an override for K2. Checked each template, and nothing.

Checked each javascript referenced on my page, nothing.

So, what changes that div inside K2's item.php?

It can be a template file, a php file which is triggered externally, or a malicious 3rd party K2 plugin.

1. Template doesn't have override for K2.

2. Can you help, what to look for in the code? What can put that many text inside the div? Searched my whole server for the pertinent parts of that code (the russian links change, the HTML code around them doesn't), but found nothing.

3. Not using any K2 plugins except the built-in ones.

Can you send me a link to your site?
Have you looked at your JavaScript files?

My original post also has a link to a stackoverflow question, which has the relevant code to look at.


I have checked all .js files on that page, specifically for preg replace, but this is why I'm asking you, I'm not a coder and I don't know how something like this can be done at all.

What method can it use to put the code inside that div?

Hello,

Apart from a gallery there are no links present.

The gallery is a K2 page.

If you use Chrome, right-click the pagination, Inspect it, and

The article part of K2 closes after the pagination, and the next div that opens, is the class clr in question, that has the unwanted code.

With the default template (no overrides) the code is not there. This mean that the issue lies with the template.
You need to address this issue to the template's developer.
