    My site was hacked a couple of weeks ago and finally able to get back onto it and into wordpress to edit etc. however I have checked the users and my admin user is no longer there and others are there instead, looks like my user name/email has been changed to someone elses. What do I need to do to rectify this? And can I just delete those other admins I have not added and add in myself again??

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

    Hi there, You’ve posted your question in the support forums for sites hosted on WordPressdotcom, but it looks like your above site is hosted with BlueHost so is using the standalone WP (org) software.

    Standalone WP and WordPressdotcom are different entities; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    For help with your self-hosted site, head over to https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

    Best wishes.
