• I installed WordPress on my Website (www.financialiteracy.us) maybe eight years ago and have upgraded it a couple of times since. I don’t remember the version; but know that I installed it using Earthlink’s installer. It’s been at least three or more years since I upgraded or updated it. In fact, I haven’t done very much but look in on my site for some time.
    Now I want to go back in and resurrect it. It’s been slammed with spam; and I just got a notice from Google that it’s been under some kind of extraordinary “assault” by people leaving hundreds of comments.
    I want to kill the spam, clean up the site; and get back to regular blogging. Unfortunately, whoever has been marauding my site has apparently killed my access to it. I know my password and username; but cannot bring up the wp-login.php page as I used to. (The full address is https://www.financialiteracy.us/wordpress/wp-login.php). What are my options? I can access the Website with my ftp client.

    You can still access the old blog at https://www.financialiteracy.us/wordpress.

    When I look on the host’s site, the WordPress installer biases out any other access to wordpress; and when I ask Earthlink’s support people for help, they tell me that they can’t help me because I used a third-party installer (which is not so). Help!!!! Any help would be appreciated.

    Just discovered that the site is no longer accessible. Perhaps the host took it off the system because of the spamming activity.
