What I mean by adding it to my blog is that I would like to publish /syndicate that particular feed to my blog.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

To clarify: What I want to do is take an rss feed like this; https://www.healthbuy.com/article/rss/715268/ and add it to my blog. Is there a way to do this? Any plugins, or programs available?

Thanks.

UPDATE: With the help of my webhost, I was able to delete the files from my site that was put there by a spammer. Thanks for the advice given above from whooami.

However, today, I logged into my ftp client to see that the spammer had returned and put double the amount of spam files in my directory (i.e. before there were about 21 HTML files, today there were about 40.)

Other than deleting the files that spammers are putting on my site AND upgrading to the most recent version of wordpress, is there anything else I can do to secure my site?

Can someone from the wordpress team please reply to this?

Thanks,

Lucy

Does anyone else have any other suggestions for what I can do to secure my site?

Thanks,

whooami…thanks for the instructions from your site.

1) Again, as mentioned above, I’VE TRIED DELETING THE FILES, however, am getting ACCESS DENIED by my ftp client whenever, I try to delete or edit the files.

2) Since you said that making the wp-config file 666 is world readable, then can you tell me what numbers I should chomd the file to, to make sure it is NOT readable?

TO ADD TO MY POST ABOVE, I also wanted to say that another thing I’ve done is the fix discussed here:
https://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2008/03/18/wordpress-spam-inject-honeypot/
Which basically advises: editing wp-settings.php

The important bits within that file, are these:
if ( !defined(‘USER_COOKIE’) )
define(‘USER_COOKIE’, ‘wordpressuser_’. COOKIEHASH);
if ( !defined(‘PASS_COOKIE’) )
define(‘PASS_COOKIE’, ‘wordpresspass_’. COOKIEHASH);
if ( !defined(‘TEST_COOKIE’) )
define(‘TEST_COOKIE’, ‘wordpress_test_cookie’);

Merely appending a couple numbers or letters towordpressuser, wordpresspass, and wordpress_test_cookie is all you need to do to make this change.

Your new bits *might* look like this:
if ( !defined(‘USER_COOKIE’) )
define(‘USER_COOKIE’, ‘wordpressuserqwer_’. COOKIEHASH);
if ( !defined(‘PASS_COOKIE’) )
define(‘PASS_COOKIE’, ‘wordpresspassasdf_’. COOKIEHASH);
if ( !defined(‘TEST_COOKIE’) )
define(‘TEST_COOKIE’, ‘wordpress_test_cookiezxcv’);

I’m not sure if this is the best route to follow, however, so someone please let me know if this is a good idea or not and it there is something better that I can do.
