    Hi all

    Im relatively used to using WP but im confused about this website i built, i keep getting emails from : wordpress@mysite and it shows a comment – typical spam crap with links etc but there are no comments in the dashboard anywhere. Ive disabled all commenting on articles older than 1 day (there are no new articles), so what are these emials about if there are no comments there??

    thanks

  • Did you check whether you are getting this from ping backs & track backs ?
    If so , then you need to disable ping backs & trackbacks from WordPress.

    Check more about this https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/

    Hi Sundar

    AFAIK there is no option on this theme for pinbgbacks, ive seen the checkbox on other themes but cant see nay option for it on this theme – Avada

    thanks

    Do you have any contact forms ?
    Probably spam bots might send emails to the default wordpress@mysite from your contact form on the site .
    If you have a contact form , use a captcha to block spam bots sending emails.

    Use Google Re-captcha for better spam blocking ??
