Hi - go to General Settings. There is a membership field, this should not be ticked, as it allows anyone to register.
go into your dashboard and click on settings =>general and uncheck the membership box - save the settings.
and delete the new user.
there appears to still be a loophole from either plugins or wordpress which allows access when this is checked.

Hey Robert,
You only need to ask a question once and I have already responded with a resolve here: Why do I have an email about new user registration? When you ask the same question more than once you are taking time away from other members receiving help with their questions. We all have to remember, answers don't always happen instantly. Sometimes we have to wait a few hours as WA members located all around the world in different time zones.
Thank you for understanding.
I did not realize I had asked a question twice. The first time, my computer froze and didn't think it posted. Sorry.

Hey Robert,
First, check to see if that message is spam: How to Determine if an Email is Spam If you are still uncertain, then contact Carson: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/message/carson in a private message and provide full details. Providing a screen print of the email would be a good idea.
For this issue, be sure to click on "Report Content" so that you will receive a blank textbox that will be clearly labeled with "Contact Kyle or Carson" so that your message will go to Carson in his inbox and not back out into a classroom where members can come in to answer the questions they know how to answer.
Hope you find this helpful.
Robert,
You should be able to log in your Site Manager and then after you login to your specific website click on the Users tab under the Dashboard located on the left side of your page,
Choose All Users from the drop down menu and then view the list of Users for that website. Mark and delete any unauthorized users and make sure to go back and verify that the change(s) was/were made.
You can also reset the password at the starting page on the Site Manager to eliminate any hacked login credentials.
I hope that this helps.
Blessings!
Could it be that this email was simply a subscriber to my website/ blog? The user name is in the email I received, and there is a whole list of names of users where you said to look. I am the only administrator though. The other users all say Subscriber next to them. Do you think everything is all right?
