  my site was hacked and the hacker created a post with a bunch of php code and ads for male enhancement products. I can’t delete the post from my site administration page.

  — also this is my third attempt to post to the forums. when I click the link to my post from the ‘post successful page’, wordpress says it cannot find the post
