head’s up word pressers – recent WP attack.
Thanks Alistair. I’m too new at this. Makes me nervous and ready to hit the delete button!
As long as you have a non-alphanumeric character in your password and get rid of the Admin, you should be good
I had no idea. Thank you!
You’re welcome. I didn’t until yesterday
Thanks, but for us novices, how do you know if you have an admin account and how do you “ditch it” as they tell you?
Firstandfabulous, if you go to your dashboard then USERS then PERSONAL SETTINGS then scroll down to the bottom and check your ACCOUNT DETAILS and look for USERNAME if it has Admin you can change it by clicking on “change” . It’s easy. It I can do anyone can 🙂
Thank you. I was in bed when I got this message so I thought I would leave it until this morning, but you got there before me. I thank you for that
