Hi @smaqsood,

I don’t see anything like what you describe – could you send me a private message including a screenshot?

Hi @smaqsood,

I still see different results than you do when I follow that link. I took a quick look at your journal and from the outside can’t see any of the text that you include in your screenshot, but I’d recommend verifying that your OJS code hasn’t somehow been modified – there are malicious tools out there that intentionally conceal themselves except when Google is indexing them so that they can avoid detection. To do this, I would recommend using the standard diff tool to compare your OJS code against a fresh download of the same version from the PKP website.
