  Hello. I have had a classical music blog on WordPress for a few years. It is https://concentrationcamp.music.blog/
  When I went to make a new post the other day, I could not embed a Mixcloud
  widget/mp3 (https://www.mixcloud.com/deafmix3/cc-mixtape-23-uk-women-composers-revised/)
  Today, I could not log on to WordPress at all. My email address is not recognized. Also, all the Mixcloud widgets from some 22 other posts are no longer present.
  Has my account been hacked or removed? How do I get back on? And if I ever do get back on, how do I embed Mixcloud players?
  I appreciate WordPress very much. I am a poverty-level senior/community college instructor; I use the blog to – hopefully – open up the world of modern classical music for a few people.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  When I went to make a new post the other day, I could not embed a Mixcloud
  widget/mp3 (https://www.mixcloud.com/deafmix3/cc-mixtape-23-uk-women-composers-revised/)

  Mixcloud widget is down at the moment. We’ve received quite a few other reports of Mixcloud not working at the moment. The master thread is here:

  We are working on fixing the issue internally.

  I will report your issue internally as well and will update you whenever we get new information.

  Has my account been hacked or removed? How do I get back on?

  I checked your account and there has been several password resets.

  If you know the current password for your account, you can change it by following these instructions below:

  Passwords

  You can also change your password from the Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:

  https://wordpress.com/me/security

  If you don’t have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password by entering your email address here:

  http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Please carefully follow the instructions. You’ll receive an email during the reset process, so make sure that you read it for instructions. If you don’t receive the email right away, check your spam folder, as well, because the confirmation email can end up there.

  Cheers,
