    Hey There-

    One of the sites I manage keeps having spam posts appear in the blog. Not comments, full posts.

    They’re appearing under a legitimate user name, I’ve followed the advice in many spots regarding a wordpress site being hacked, and I just cannot figure out how to stop this from happening.

    Have installed Sucuri and Wordfence, scans all coming up clean but these posts keep popping up every couple of weeks or so.

    http://www.nancykenny.ca is the site. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    A preview of these stupid posts. Changed them all to drafts so I could at least hide them from readers.

    Hello,

    So somebody is able to register on your site, then post a blog post? Or just post is published under real user who registered on your site before?

    Btw. your log and slider does not load on your site.

    Hi,

    may be some of the user(subscriber) has the has the access to all(adding posts,editing posts,deleting posts) so it will be better if you install user role plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/user-role-editor/ and then assign the only to the subscriber to just read posts. so may be it will solve your problem.
