My IP-adress is suddenly being used by another relative & comments posted in my name
-
Hi, urgently help needed!
Since three weeks, my mother Olga Grotenburg suddenly uses, without her wanting so, my profile at Olga Reiff to post her comments. In the administrator dashboard, I can see that she had the same IP-address than me. Why is that? I can’t do anything against it, because when I block her comments, I’m blocking myself too.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The only way to make sure she doesn’t do this, if she is using your computer is to completely sign out of WordPress. If you are set to automatically sign into WordPress when you start your computer and your mother is using your computer or a device you have signed into WordPress from, then she will have access to your blog admin.

Sorry meant to add
If you are signed in then automatically if she comments the comments will appear in your name.

Hi brenr1958, thank you so much! But the thing is, she isn’t even here! She lives in Austria, and I am in Luxembourg! And she told me she accesses the blog via the link in the email that is sent to her because she is a follower. She uses here own computer so,… but ah… perhaps last time when I was there, I logged in the blog under my name and it is STILL open and she is commenting via the opened blog? I will check this. Thanks again!

This is almost certainly what is happening. It you have her sign out of WordPress on her computer the problem should be solved.

Thank you, lizthefair and brenr1958. Both of you were right and the problem is resolved!
