I changed to a different template I had downloaded, but I had the same issue; it was probably another one from templatebrowser.com. I downloaded a template from wordpress.org and no longer have the issue. I will post about this issue and link to yours to help spread the word. Thank you!

@Nick – I wouldn’t EVER use a theme from templatebrowser.

They could have put anything in the code anywhere. Much safer to try and go with something ‘official’.

This isn’t just for spam content in your database, the theme could have malicious code to ‘phone home’ with your login details etc.

Not good.

I am having a similair problem. I downloaded a theme from templatebrowser.com and am getting a casino link added to my database. I’ve changed my admin password and have deleted the link a couple times, but it keeps coming back. Any other ideas? The code you’ve described doesn’t exist in my codebase. Maybe I’ll just use another theme.

@todd – not to dis Blog.CFC, but there are a lot more cool WordPress themes than BlogCFC themes! Hmm…maybe there’s some opportunity there…

@FastEddie – well yeah I suppose that wasn’t the smartest thing to do!

@Todd – yep, I use BlogCFC at work a bit. To be honest you just can’t beat the hosting plan I’m on at the moment which only has PHP. I am considering getting another plan which will cost a bit but give me ColdFusion. I/when that happens I’ll look to move to BlogCFC or MachBlog etc

Yet another reason to use BlogCFC and not WordPress.
