Hello to all DP members I am facing problem of Bulk spamming post in my WP there almost 100 post/day and that users are not in Authors means they are not there so how can they post?? Are they Bots??? Is my WP hacked??? I don't know what's the hell is going on but i disable new registration still how this users come and post??? Note: This are spamming post not comments i had tried many plugins but all are useless Please help me and tell me some solution Thank you
turn off posting or install anti - spam plugin, check which users have administrator rule change password i don't think your wp site is hacked , it's possible spam advertising by bot programs
Done all there is no other user all plugins for stopping comment spam but what for stopping Post Spam?? They both are really new for me i didn't understand how can they help me to stop spam?? can you please explain or give some more details Which plugin can help me to stop spamming post?? if you know any one so please give me that link or name of that plugin I am very thankful to you
@all - none of any idea works lastly i had backup my DB deleted WP and install it again and restore though getting spams good thing is that it decrease by 90% but bad thing is that how still that robots can post i had checked all means all DB also
When you look in the admin, who are the spam posts assigned to as author? If they have your name then it means somehow your site has been hacked and someone or a bot is logging in with your account and posting these spam posts. In this case my first recommendation would be to look at your server logs and see if there's any suspicious activity. Change your account password to something very secure or even create a new admin account and delete the old one. Check to see if you're using any insecure plugins, and make sure also your version of Wordpress is up to date as using older versions makes it easier for your site to be hacked.
This is my way. There are two steps to do: Step 1: - Install Capcha code Plug-in - Install Antispam Plug-in Step 2: - Teach your antispam recognize which is spam which is not. - Always keep an eye at your wordpress I can have a good control with spam and antispam.
For my site to stop spam I implemented several methods 1) us recaptcha 2)closed commenting for blog articles older then one month. 3)started blocking known malicious ip addresses
I had back up all and re-install WP again restore and also change password of my DB and also delete some users from DB which are not shown in WP admin panel. Now it's all ok thanks for suggestions
