My blog is hacked!
-
Oh I hope another volunteer will be able to help.
I really should have gone to sleep a while ago, -
Of course WP lets users change their email address, because people DO change their email addresses. If WordPress didn’t allow it, they’d fail as a blogging platform altogether. They would be unusable.
-
Regardless that the OP is on the ball about logging out of sites, people generally tend to be lax in logging out, which is why I wish Staff would change the log-in “remember me” box default to unchecked. (this has been discussed before)
Maybe there needs to be a safety catch where if there’s a change in an admin email, an email gets sent to the original admin address asking/notifying that there’s been a change and needing to click on a link/reply to approve. Of course, that could cause its own set of problems. Just thinking out loud.
-
@raincoaster of course people CAN change their e-mail address, but i think everybody has a permanently used e-mail address. Or wp should allow e-mail change after some manual id check process. It SHOULD NOT be that much easier!
-
I KNOW you think everyone has a permanently used email address. I can tell you from experience in tech support that you’re wrong. Hell, half the people on Facebook signed up with their university address and then graduated.
-
wp can WARN people about not to use university addresses, and also can OBSTRUCT them by a simple expression in the source code.
if it is too necessary to change e-mail addresses, I just say “IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT MUCH EASIER”. there should be some other process, i don’t know how, i have to think about it! but it should!
the only thing i care about right now is GETTING BACK MY BLOG! so would you try to help me or just stop discussing on nonsense!

…so would you try to help me or just stop discussing on nonsense!
@myblogishacked/sacsizkral-noted, but I think you may have a basic misunderstanding about the forums. auxclass correctly gave you the contact information so you could discuss your problem with Support directly. For all purposes none of the volunteers have access to the working end of your WordPress.com blog and therefore we are not in a position to actually solve the problem. Doesn’t stop us from discussing it though. :)
Glad things worked out.
