    Hello,

    It looks like either you were hacked or had downloaded the theme from a third party website? Our files for the theme 404 are clean and don’t contain such code.

    It is likely that if you were hacked than multiple files will be infected, and if you can the best/easiest way would be to start again by removing all WP compleastly and resinstlling from scratch, also changing wp and FTP user/pass.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    That is also our site and i have checked the files there and the dont contain such code either, this is what viruses do, they will rewrite LOADS of files all over the place, including core WP files and theme/plugin files. Please download a fresh copy from themetailors.com and compare the 404 files and u will see it did not come from us.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
