Hey Andrew,

Thank you for your helpful suggestions. The problem is that because I don’t have the login panel anymore, I can’t get into the site to deactivate the plugins and do the other things that you have suggested.

Also, I was surprised that they sent your response to an e-mail address I rarely use. First, I have to put in my correct e-mail address in my profile.

Anyway, do you think I need to hire someone to reactivate my Dashboard and Login panel?

Thanks again.

My only concern about the second Username is whether someone can use it to access my site. At the top left of the page, it says there are 2 Administrators, but in the actual entry (the one below mine), the Username is designates jut “Role,” not “Administrator,” as mine mentions as my Role.

Thanks.

Exactly like this, James. I tried to attach my screenshot, but this format doesn’t have that option.

Now, when I click the box left to the bottom user, the box to the left of top user, in your case “James” the “Administrator,” gets automatically selected. So if I try to delete the user at the bottom, I’d end up deleting my own entry as well. Isn’t that right?

Thanks, James, for you effort to help me.

Thanks for being very helpful.

As you can see in the link below, the Users page shows 2 administrators. The top one with the picture, ‘IslamWest,’ is me. The one below, ‘Username,’ is the culprit that I need to get rid of. But whenever I select the box to the left of the culprit below, ‘Username,’ the box next to mine, ‘IslamWest,’ also gets automatically selected, along with box for the culprit, ‘Username.’

Apparently, the culprit who tempered with my site arranged it this way so I wouldn’t be able to delete his entry.

Would you know how I can?

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot kjodle, for your suggestion. My site was hacked before, and I strongly suspect this was a mole. I’d like to re-install everything, as you’ve suggested. I’m not technically adept at doing this and may need to hire someone to do the work for me. But then I’m leery about advertising the stint on WP Jobs site. That’s where I got the mole. Would you have any idea about where I can get someone dependable to do it?

Thanks again,

Hello WPyogi,

It looks like I did it. Thanks again for the tips. You can close the thread now.

I’ve changed the e-mail address in my Forum profile. I suspect I’ll have to wait some time to see the picture disappear.

Thanks.

Hey Yogi, I wanted my Avatar to show on my blog site, not here in the WP support forum! How can I get rid of it from the Forum member profile? I’d rather have comic image instead of my picture next to my Username “Tafader.” Can you help?

Thanks.

Hey WPyogi,

I did it! Thanks buddy.

Hi WPyogi,

Thanks for the link. Following the instructions in it, I checked the Avatar section on the Discussion Settings panel.

I note that “Show Avatars” and “G – Suitable for all Audiences” are selected.

But I saw no option to upload or change Avatars.

How do I get to change my existing Avarar?

Hi,

Please ignore my reply above.

I have set up File Zilla. Now, when I click the FZ icon (on the dock), I see the following folders in the box under “local site”: net, private, sbin, tmp, etc., but no Desktop folder from where I would upload the files and images. How can I get the files from my desktop?

Also, should I drag the files into the box under “local site” or into the one under “remote site”?

Thanks,
Tafader

Hi,

I already downloaded File Zilla (Client) and did the following:

I went into my Go Daddy account, clicked FTP Users button, then copied the link in the address bar (beginning with https//:), pasted it in the File Zilla Host box, put in my FTP Username and Password, and clicked the Enter arrow.

I get the message saying it was “Invalid protocol.” Bellow, I get (protocol?) suggestion: ftp://…., sftp://….ftps://…. and ftpes.

I guess I didn’t copy the correct FTP address bar link, right?

Hi WPyogi,

I talked with Go Daddy Support and, according to their advice, I have downloaded the FileZilla software. I’d need to find out how to connect FileZilla to my two websites so I can upload my Desktop files and images to those sites. Can you help? Or are there instructions for it somewhere?

Thanks,
Tafader

Thanks again. Let me go back to my Go Daddy account and see what it is. I’ll be back soon.

Thanks, WPyogi. I don’t know what you mean by “what FTP software.” I just downloaded FTP software for Mac from the Internet. I asked my ISP, GoDaddy.com, to help me figure out the problem. They say because I’m using the WordPress platform, I should as WP for help!

Thanks.
