Anyone know what this #Google thing is? We do not work with Google so how are they injecting their code into our site? It’s not from us.

@jackyan Looks like a built-in part of a Wordpress application - in this case, Google Analytics. A lot of plug-ins use it to monitor your visitor stats - tells them if they're getting seen. The payback to Google is stuff like that iframe.

@mirabilos @wordstitcher Thank you both. I donʼt use anything Google and there is no analytics plug-in, but something else must have it and is reporting back to them. Strange thing is that this is only on that page.

@jackyan @mirabilos There's a lot of that kind of thing in Wordpress plug-ins. Looks like this is a posting page, so check what plug-ins are being used on it, and what's in the admin bar. Could be a WP standard function. WP sold out to Google with last major update, unfortunately. A lot of people are unhappy with that, but WP is making money from it - which is the point.

@wordstitcher @mirabilos Iʼll see what I can uncover. We made a pledge a while ago that people wouldnʼt be tracked when they come to our sites, but here we are with Google code right in there.
