  I received the following email from WordPress.
  New user registration on your site……………….
  Username xxxxx
  email xxxxxxxxxxx

  I know nothing about this and the email bounced back from gmail.
  What should I do to remove this person and stop further intrusions ?

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

  this is most probably the bots registering on your website, you can simply delete the user by going to admin panel > users and delete the requireed user.

  @webdadio Hi there, the site at thehappyherbcomau.wordpress.com doesn’t have any user generated content. Is that the site you need help with?

  If by chance you are referring to a self-hosted WP install, please see Staff’s answer here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/registrations-1?replies=5#post-2907808

  If you are referring to your above WordPressdotcom site, please list normally the full email address from where the email was received. Our forum software will redact it from public view but Staff will still be able to see it. Thanks.
