Hello,

Like 4 or 5 weeks ago, some users started to register on my blog. No one has my account password, and there isn’t just one user, they were like 5 or 6 and started to publish on my blog without my permission. I don’t know who they are. How can they have access to my blog???
At fist, I thought it was a bluehost problem, but after talking with them I realized the problem comes from WordPress.
I receive emails from WordPress every time a user registers. Can you help me?

Hi ralu1607,

The website you are needing help with is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, this forum is only for WordPress.com users.

If you are not sure what the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org is you can read more about it here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/.

When you need help with your blog you need to go to the WordPress.org forum where someone should be able to help you with issues: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

Before you go: I notice that your blog’s sidebar has a META widget where there is a “Register” link, I imagine that this may very well be how those users have managed to register. If you remove that “Register” link your mystery sign-ups will probably stop.

And how do I remove the “Register” link without removing all the META widget?

In order to get help with that you will have to head over to the WordPress.org support forum where WordPress.org website support can be found: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.
