   all the dummy posts. Can someone help me solve this?
 * Thanks

 * dummy posts are posts that are being created automatically on my blog page, just
   like the dummy posts a website theme comes with

 * what theme are you using?
 * does the problem continue when you temporarily switch to the default theme Twenty
   Seventeen?
 * does the problem continue when you temporarily deactivate all plugins?

 * i am using the risen theme. I will deactivate the plugins and see if the problem
   will go away. Every day I see about four new posts being published and appearing
   on my blog. I keep deleting all posts, yet new posts keep apeearing

 * the problem is not seen with the default theme and deactivating plugins does 
   not solve the problem. Any other ideas?

 * > the problem is not seen with the default theme
 * This suggests issue with your “risen” theme.
 * Unfortunately, your currently used theme is not in the wordpress.org/themes/ 
   directory
 * I recommend contacting the author of your theme. – As the author is aware, commercial
   products are [not supported in these forums](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products).
   As you are their customer I am sure they will have no problem supporting you 
   there. It also allows the developers to be aware of issues with their code.
