  My wordpress blog was hacked. How can I stop this and erase all the hacked blog posts?

  What is the address of the site? Are you definitely talking about a WordPress.com hosted site?
  I have yet to hear of any WordPress.com site being “hacked” unless password details were shared with others. If that is the case then you can reset your password following instructions found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
  If the site you have issues with is hosted elsewhere and using the WordPress.org software then the correct place for advice will be: https://wordpress.org/support/

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Thank you – the address is – http://beautyinphotography.catherine-corman.com/

  Perhaps hacked is the wrong word – people posing as me are posting spam to the site.

  The password details were not shared with others. How can I stop strangers from posting spam to my site?

  Thank you,
  Catherine

  Hi, Catherine.
  Sorry but you are in the wrong place.
  These forums are only for blogs/sites hosted by WordPress.com

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  And you should ask in the WordPress.org forums.
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you’ll need to register one there.

  Cheers

  Hi there!

  @galois thanks so much, for your help with these users! <WordPress.com Is where all sites are hosted under one server. WordPress.org is where users can program their sites.

  Thanks for your help, and have a great day guys!

  Cheers!
  Alisson
