WordPress error: PLEASE restore my site prior to today
-
I have a screenshot proving that I was in the administrator area of a new blog that I created today, and I was trying to change the theme. But it changed it on my OTHER blog!
I wasn’t even in any administrator area of yvasusan for ANY length of time, therefore either the system is fragile (next time I’ll open a separate account for each blog then) or someone else is into my account AGAIN!
This is my home business. Someone please help. I need this restored.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
This is the Admin login link http://yvasusan.com/wp-admin/
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account and the exact same associated email address that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.
Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibilityIf you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Your last resort for gaining access is completing the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

re: your assumption that your blog may have been hacked
If anyone is posting anything to your blog or deleting anything from it then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.
The question to ask yourself is: Who, aside from me, has access to my login information?
Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs
Read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/1. If you can log-in 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 > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/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. To add another layer of home security, you can enable Two Step Authentication, also known as Two-Factor Authentication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
P.S. if you truly think your blog has been hacked then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. Then subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

No. No one else has my authorization. Please restore yvasusan.com This is a WordPress error. Not mine.

I had made a security breach complaint quite recently – someone else’s photo was in my spot! I don’t know who this is, but I changed my password and quickly logged out.

There is no such thing a a restore feature here. Be aware of that and proceed with what I posted above please.

From 1 post (which kept disappearing) back to all my posts are there now. Definitely some kind of WordPress glitch. I restored my theme, changed my password & will have to redo whatever was lost.
Thank you for reading – I’m taking the modlock tag off.

Hi again,
I’m so happy that you have all your posts displaying now. I put the modlook tag up to have Staff examine your blog and make sure nothing untoward is going on in it. That’s why you could not remove it. -
Two of my blogs have disappeared. And all widget info is gone. This is very frustrating. But I do thank you for your help.

Two of my blogs have disappeared.
Do you mean blogs as in websites (very blog is a website)?
Or do your mean Posts?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/If you mean posts then look in your drafts.
http://yvasusan.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postIf they aren’t there then look in your private posts
http://yvasusan.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=private&post_type=postIf you still cannot find them then what are the titles and/or the URLs?
And all widget info is gone.
Okay here’s the deal. You changed themes, right? Then read on please.
After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes. -
It’s important to consult the relevant detailed theme description page when you are considering changing themes. You changed back to iTheme2 https://wordpress.com/themes/itheme2/ Best wishes with your blog.

Thank you! 2 blogs are gone (not much info). But, my main Blog yvasusa.com is almost fixed up. It just made me more aware of changing passwords more often as well as checking into additional security features.
