Background of the issue:
We have completed the full website using WPML and translated it into 3 different languages. Recently, we noticed that our website redirects to a porn website in different browsers. After contacting hosting support and analyzing the database, we found that WPML injected a virus. We uninstalled the plugin from our site. We are using the premium version of WPML.

Symptoms:
Website redirects to a porn website in different browsers.

Questions:
Why did this happen to our website?
What are the issues with the WPML plugin?

Hello,

Does this mean that since you deactivated WPML this issue did no longer occur?

Could you please delete our plugins, then install the latest versions to run the site with fresh installs and let me know if the issue occurs again?

Best regards
Andreas
