How do i find the wp-config-sample.php file
-
I’m concerned someone has hacked my wordpress site. I’ve checked increasing security and support pages say I should change the ‘secret keys’ in the ‘wp-config-sample.php file’ But how do I find this file?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi, I’m wordpress.com not wordpress.org and I’m hosted by wordpress. Please can I have an answer to my question or at least an explanation why you think I’m .org

Oops,
Sorry. I guess I accidentally posted it on your support question, It was meant for some one else. Extremely sorry about my mistake. My apologies.The wp-config-sample.php is a file that comes with the WordPress.org version of WordPress. There isn’t such a file with WordPress.com.
When you say, someone has hacked into your site, what exactly are you noticing unusual with your site?
Your site and all the other sites hosted at WordPress.com is continuously monitored and made secure by the expert team at WordPress.com. So you don’t need to worry about the secret keys.

Hello! Thanks for you detailed reply. Long and short is, when I posted a link to facebook yesterday an author’s name was added to my post of Praveen Patel. So I was concerned my blog might have been hacked, although I wasn’t sure what was going on, so wanted to make sure I was as secure as could be. This problem has now arisen from others too and is being discussed in another forum. And it’s looking like it’s a Facebook bug.
Burt thanks for your help, still very useful to make sure I’m as safe as can be. -
