 * Dear WordPress,
 * I am not sure what I am doing here but I thought I should try anyways.
 * Recently, I keep getting someone posting on my wordpress site without permission.
   I have set up several security with pro plugins and nothing has changed.
 * I end up deleting the posts from the site which I believed would also affect 
   me SEO wise, I mean too many deleted posts.
 * I don’t know how this person gain access, the posts does not have an author but
   only category and it points to this site; [http://www.authenticscanucksofficialshops.com/Markus_Naslund_Jersey_Adidas?fbclid=IwAR09-6uMEjKUX5xxNvii9hgWwuduRqnpOKPeTWxRbA44We2ISrWeNxww1CQ](http://www.authenticscanucksofficialshops.com/Markus_Naslund_Jersey_Adidas?fbclid=IwAR09-6uMEjKUX5xxNvii9hgWwuduRqnpOKPeTWxRbA44We2ISrWeNxww1CQ)

 * Hey [@naijacenter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naijacenter/),
 * That sounds like your site might have been hacked. The best thing to do is remain
   calm and read this: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/)
 * And then after your site is clean, this would be useful to read and implement
   also: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/)

 * Thanks Dave,
 * I have iThemes Security on the site but it doesn’t stop whoever to still post
   something.
 * I have changed all access points, passwords etc.
 * My laptop is very new, just a few days old.
 * My website is scanned daily by website security (GoDaddy)
 * With all these, I can’t stop this [person]

 * Update:
 * I found out that someone added an unknown file to my home directly. After I removed
   it, they haven’t been able to post ever since.
 * Thanks Dave for your feedback.
