Unauthorized access to my site

    Over the paste 2 weeks my site has been accessed several times and each time the perpetrators disable my plugins, including the WordFence security plugin.

    Each time I’ve had to restore the entire site with a backup.

    Today I looked in my apache logs and noticed the time when my site went down someone from from an Asian IP address logged in using wp-login.php.

    I had JUST changed the the username and password but apparently they already had my updated changes.

    Can someone give me a clue as to how they are doing this?

    I’m afraid to leave my site address here. (you can understand why)

    It appears my WP-Admin is now OK. I do not get logged out anymore.
    I am going to try your option 2 to try and change my particulars, because my profile page in WP does not allow me.

    I could not get into “PHPmyAdmin” and therefore I took option 1.

    Thanx, this worked perfectly so far.

    I have a new Username (Not Admin)with strong passwords for WP-Admin,
    C-Panel, My hosting Company, and even these Support Forums.

    Thanx, that helped a lot.

    Excellent, I’m glad that worked out!
