Hi guys, I noticed that there is a SPAM link in my theme. I searched the theme files but was not able to find the link & anchor text. I searched almost all the files e.g footer.php, etc. But didn't find, from where the link is coming.

And the link & text is only visible when I see my cached page in text version (see below link)

Good Look Inkca: Shopping Blog !

Please check the above link for reference (At bottom text "S E X")

Need help to remove that

    Once you fix it in your theme, you can ask google to get rid of the cached page (see: Request removal of a cached page - Webmaster Tools Help)

    However, I can see 2 issues in the source code. First, there is the hidden link:
    Code:
    <span style='display:none;'><a href='http://www. ellecams. com/'>Sex</a>
    It's the display:none that hides it.

    Second, you acquired your theme from a download site (wikmag. com/studiopress-genesis-theme-framework-and-child-themes.html), so it's likely whoever ripped it modified it to include that hidden link to the sex site.

    If you can't find it in your footer.php file, check the theme options panel in the footer section. If it's not there, look for functions in your theme functions.php or other child theme framework files.

    But really, if you're going to use the Genesis framework, you should just buy the legit version from Studiopress.

    You are using Genesis framework. Go to child theme template files, If I'm not mistaken it's either on function folder or lib folder. Use Notepad++ editor so you can instantly see the difference.

    He's right, don't use warez/nulled themes, if you can't buy it yourself I suggest just use free wp themes so you will not get trouble in the future.
