Hidden, inserted links by hackers

Hello, I've just noticed that I have someone's else link in the code of my site.
I am not sure is it theme related and how it is even possible that someone does something like that.
But they are there. I've checked admin, I am the only user.
Can you check is it related to generateptress?
Hi there,
This can't be related to GeneratePress.
Can you disable all plugins to eliminate any conflicts?
The site could've been hacked as well.
still there even when I disable all plugins,only GP premium is active
Does the issue exist if you activate a Twenty series WP theme?
Nope, then it dissapears
In that case I'm guessing the theme files have been hacked.
Can you try reinstalling it?
To complete delete generate press?
If so,how to be sure that I can keep all those modifications I have?
As long as you haven't modified any of the parent theme's files then it will be fine.
The settings are saved in the database and not the theme files.
You can always backup the current site just to be sure.
do you mean an ordinary export? Like this : https://prnt.sc/l4U2QYvS7f9O
You can check with your hosting support - a lot of hosting offer automatic backup for free.
Or a plugin like this as well: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
