 * I cannot get 3 of my 8 sights to stop receiving SPAM comments. I need NO, NONE,
   NADA, ZILCH comments on my sites. Yes, Settings>Discussion comments are unchecked.
   I’ve gone through every page and insured “allow comments” is unchecked. My other
   5 sites are set up the same way as these 3 and comments continue to pour in. 
   Ive tried antispam plugins that are highly rated…no luck. I don’t have experience
   messing with the code…that’s why I use WP, I believe in KISS. I’m at a loss. 
   Thx

 * Someone might have found and established malicious access to your site or database,
   so you might need to look at some of the posts here:

 * leejosepho – Thanks for taking the time! I looked at the articles, they were 
   helpful but comments still were coming in. Called my hosting company (one of 
   the suggestions in the articles) they did a little digging and it turns out the
   initial blog post when the theme was installed was still sitting there and that’s
   what was being posted to, and of course was marked “allow comments.” A bit of
   a “dah” moment but explains why I couldn’t stop them from coming in…I was asking
   for it. It can be the simplest things. Now checking my other sites to see if 
   the same exists.
