My posts are being hacked

    Both of the most recent posts I’ve written have been hacked. It happened the first time last week. My most recent post was erased and in its place was the title “hacked by…[name]”, and the post changed to some very inappropriate language and some nonsense about Isis and Palestine. I edited the post as soon as I found it, changed my password, updated all my plugins.

    I wrote another post a couple days ago, got on today, and that most recent post had been hacked. No actual message, just the words “hacked by.. [name]”. This is very frustrating; I thought changing my password would solve the problem. What do I need to do to keep these idiots off my blog?

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

    Hey there, you’ve posted your question in the support forums for sites hosted by WordPress.com, but your above site appears to be using the standalone WP 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/

    Help for self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software can be found over at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

    Best wishes
