  Our company runs a Word Press blog, which is linked to our site. I just logged on and all of my posts are gone. Does anyone know how that happened, and how to fix it?
  Blog url: http://santecenter.wordpress.com/

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

  Is your login information secure or has someone else been able to access it? Have you posted an email address on the blog, rather than using a secure contact form? http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ Do you have a disgruntled former employee?

  If you think your blog has been hacked do what follows:
  Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one

  If you can log-in then …
  1. Go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.
  2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/
  3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/
  4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one and do not post it here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
  5. Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
  6. Read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

  http://santecenter.wordpress.com/ hasn’t had any posts since they were exported and deleted on December 21, 2010.

  Actually, December 2012 is when the blog was started. I’ve had several posts since then, but they’ve disappeared. We think it has something to do with the server they were directed to or something. I honestly don’t know much about wordpress, I just write the entries. Thanks for the help.

  http://santecenter.wordpress.com/ was started on September 15, 2010 and then exported and emptied on December 21, 2010.

  Perhaps you’re thinking of a different blog.

  I found http://santecenter.com/ which has the blog http://blog.santecenter.com/wordpress/

  That is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.
