Security: An unknown person publishes a blog article every day
-
Respected,
I have a problem with an ecommerce site, every day someone (an unknown person) posts articles on English language with some backlinks links. Only I have access to the site and only I publish articles in Serbian.
I change the admin password every day and the database password and update regularly but the same thing still happens. Someone is still posting! No one from my friends or family knows the data from the site because they don’t deal with it.
I think it happens through some plugin that has some back door.
We bought the theme on themeforest and we bought the Yoast seo plugin. Other plugins we use are CAPTCHA 4WP, Contact Form 7, Loco Translate, W3 Total Cache which are downloaded from the main wp plugin site.
Has anyone had a similar problem and how did they solve it?
Is there any plugin that will allow me to approve a blog post before it is published?
Thanks for the advice!

Do you see those particular articles on your posts dashboard? They should show the username of the one that published it.

Can you kindly explain further? Do you use only one username on your website or you have different users?
I suggest you vet all the users on your website if you do and delete any user that does not pass the process.
Another step you can take is to go to the Users, and check on the articles published by every user, if you find that particular user that has all those articles, you delete their access.
Kindly let me know if this works for you.
