I was on my site last night creating some content and today when I went back into my site, there are now suddenly 19 NEW posts that I did not create and they are all in Vietnam

Hi there. I am seeing several posts showing up on my site and they are not writing anything but using a name that is odd. Elohim ?
Not sure what to do about this. These posts are not on wealthy affiliate so how did this happen?

I would contact site support to see is your site has been breached or hacked. Also under settings, general, make sure you "anyone can register" is unchecked.

Hi - there is a box in general settings in WordPress named membership - have you got this ticked? This may allow people to add to your site.

Thanks for the suggestion, I double checked my settings and this box is not checked.

Really?
Ok

Happy to be corrected of course. I will try and find out for certain.

Yes your right I just checked mine.

Thanks

WOW...I had a post saying test but I think that might have been from site support because I had a problem with banner codes.
So I just placed it in private.

But nothing this extreme. Sounds like you've been hacked or something.
Contact site support immediately

Those "test" posts are indeed from Site Support. :)

Ahh..phew thanks.

There might be a backdoor coded into your theme or a plugin. I'd suggest you contact site support to have a look at it.

I experienced this on a site too, but they stopped appearing after I switched theme.

Hmm...good to know that. I've changed theme 3 times so far.
Thanks.

OK thanks for the info!

Contact Site Support immediately. It sounds like you may have been hacked.

Thanks, I'm doing that now.

Has anyone founds posts on your site that you didn't make?
