  Hello,

  https://acanadianfamily.wordpress.com

  I just noticed that a post I made earlier today has disappeared. It appears in my statistics of visitors but now leads to a message that says “I appear to be lost ..” or something to that effect.

  When I went to check my account there is now a message : You are logged in as “evelynyvonnetheriault” and do not have the necessary privileges to access the dashboard for “Support”. If you are not “evelynyvonnetheriault”, please log out, and log back in with your username. If you are “evelynyvonnetheriault” and you need access, please ask an administrator of the site to invite you.

  Has my account possibly been hacked?

  Hello,
  I do have access to my dashboard so my site appears to now be recognizing me as the administrator.
  I don’t know whether that means it was just a glitch, or whether the problem is resolved, so help someone else will confirm for me.
  Thanks,
  Evelyn

  Update:
  I now realize that the post that disappeared is one where I accidentally posted internal links to administration versions of my posts instead of published versions.
  Can I be sent an email to reset the password, please. I tried to do it though the icon on my site but did not get confirmation email, and I’m afraid to close my site and reboot.
  Thanks again,
  Evelyn
