Placeholder Text appeared in Blog page

    I set up a blog theme and have been adding posts over the past year with no issues. Just a week ago, I noticed placeholder text under the most recent blog post. It only appears on the website, I don’t see it when I go to the dashboard. It basically looks like placeholder blog posts about business topics (completely unrelated to our website). When I click on the links in any of the placeholder posts, the title and featured image of one old blog post pops up (with no text afterward). How can I get rid of these placeholder blog posts?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Found the issue, it was a BlueHost plugin.
    For some reason, it was adding temp blogs under each blog section.

    @aisajib Thanks for asking but my site is working now.

    My website is http://www.WeHaveIdeas.co

    I resolved the issue late last night by restoring the last backup before my last plugin updates.
