Former employee has hijacked one of my blogs
-
A former employee has locked me out of one of my blogs. She created the blog for me. It is one of several connected to my wordpress. She changed it to where she is the administrator and I am just a contributor. I just now changed the blog url because I asked this question moments ago and it just occured to me that she was going to receive the answer not me. What can I do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

it made me think the other day when i lost my site temporary. I think if you keep the copy or material on your hard drive or your emails. another area that you know is safe and backed up. that way if some thing like this happens you have the content to transfer. download the files once a month? etc

I have the information, but I made changes and then they were deleted. I now know it’s a waste of time to do anything on it again, because she can just undo it. I just have to start all over and the blog with the name of the gallery on it will unfortunately just be stale or I guess from what I’m seeing she can do anything. I hired her to get it started for me and now that she does not work for me all I paid her to do is for nothing because she is not being very nice. It’s going to hurt the artists way more than me.

Please take note that this thread is focused on redirecting thegulfcoast to the correct thread, as this thread is a redundant duplicate thread which is tagged for closure.Safety comes from registering your own username account, registering your own blogs under it, respecting all security protocols, and never ever creating another Admin user, or sharing your login information with others, as well as from creating content backups.

SIGH … you may be able to get cached copies of the content from Google’s cache and then post it into another new blog. Example using the site linked to above in the original post:

Yes, I can do that. I’ve always done my own blogs in the past and I can redo this one. It just has the name of my gallery associated with it and really she could post anything on it. It’s not losing the info that is my primary concern. It’s that she can use, what should be my blog to post anything she wants and it appears I can do nothing about it.

WordPress.com does not have backups that can be accessed in cases like these. My hubby and I have an art business and I’m feeling sick about what happened to you. I am a lioness and if anyone did this to me after I published a rant identifying the person in question and laying out all the facts replete with images of evidence, I would post to social networks. Then I would call on all of my most influential social networking buddies to retweet and repost links too my published post.
Have you tried emailing here and asking her to transfer the blog to your username account as I suggested in your other thread? If she is reputable then she will do what I posted here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/former-employee-has-hijacked-one-of-my-blogs?replies=3#post-2300818 rather than having her reputation compromised.
