My problem is much more basic – I have a hyperlink to a site and the site is misspelled. I cannot work out where the hyperlink is to amend it. Has anybody else experienced and solved this one?

Thanks for tips. I changed password as recommended and the problem has not recurred. Thanks

I must have done something right when setting up my pages because I get an e mail every time anyone adds a comment. Only thing was it was mainly spam senders that were commenting but when I discovered that I could activate Akismet I managed to get all of them blocked. But in the meantime they had managed to get me black listed by Google and other search engines so I get no messages at all now.

I had the same problem as shida05 and it made my life a misery with 60 – 100 of these objectionable posts per day. I then discovered WP’s Akismet spam guard and that I had not activated it. When I did so the 60 – 100 posts a day dwindled to one every couple of weeks which I just spam and never get them again.

I did find however that there was a similar load of rubbish appearing on one of my pages and only appeared when I reviewed code in wp-admin. An answer to another enquirer in one of the forums prompted me to change my password and so far the nuisance hasn’t reappeared.

Along the way however GOOGLE and at least three other search engines identified the malicious blogs on my pages and blacklisted the site. Since taking corrective action Google has removed it from the blacklist but I have so far received no further genuine posts which is a great pity.

I have been very interested in some of the security issues discussed here. Mine concerns unwanted posts on an interactive site using PHP script. I had the site created by an expert who now fails to answer my texts and e mails and I am totally non expert in PHP myself.

Initially I was getting between 60 and 100 unwanted posts a day advertinsing trading or pornographic websites. Then I discovered Word Press’s wonderful spam guard and I am free of the posts at last. However I recently discovered that when I go to edit my home page and go into “code” setting there is code there very similar to the posts I used to get. I delete it each time I find it but I would really like to be able to block it so that it doesn’t get on to the site in the first place. When the multiple posts were coming in the site was black listed by Google and other search engines and I do not want that to happen again.

Grateful if anybody has any advice that might help me here.
