WordPress redirect hack: how to find and remove it

WordPress site redirecting to spam? Find where the redirect lives (.htaccess, the database, a modified file), remove it, and stop it coming back.

The short answer

A redirect hack lives in one of four places: .htaccess, the site address settings, a script injected into the database, or a modified PHP or JavaScript file. Test the site the way a visitor reaches it to see which kind you have, remove it there, then find what put it there, or it comes back.
