  Spammy porn posts keep appearing on my blog as if I’ve posted them – yet I have not. I’ve changed my password several times and I use the authenticator on my phone but the posts still keep appearing. As soon as I receive the email notification I delete them but they should not be appearing at all. My laptop is clear of malware and viruses – indeed I have only just changed laptops (and my password again t be safe) yet the posts still appear. I’ve persevered with WordPress but if they don’t stop I’m going to have to move my blog to another provider because I don;t want my professional reputation to be tarnished with pornographic posts. Can anyone help?

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

  Hello,
  Do you have “post by email” enabled? If you do and someone knows the address, they can post to your blog: https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

  Also highly recommended that you change your email password as well.
