What should I do to protect my security If a blog I seem to be linked to when I

  • henrywallace2012 · Member ·

    I have a blog with Word Press.Com which is having problems. Another person who invited over that individul’s blog and allowed me access and whom I invited to my blog now has the icon for my blog in that person’s blog
    as I access it. The drop down menu has my formal name. When I click on that all my blog stories come up.
    Also my features come up on that drop down menu including management features. If I click for example on the one for managing my blog it comes up. Does that mean this other person now has control of my blog. I can’t understand that in the least. I never approved this nor as far as I know in any way put something in my settings to cause this. I’m not all that tech oreinted. What should I do about this regarding security?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    All of that is vague. We need actual URLs starting with http:// and we need actual usernames please. I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

    Vague! I was very specific. but you said what I put in could only be one thread and I, not be that tech oriented simply, put the question as brief as I could. For me to be more specific will require more details.

    Understand that this us a public forum and anyone with internet access can read these threads. I tagged this thread for Staff so they will communicate with your privately and specifically off the forum by email. Please be patient while waiting.

    Thanks about the information of this being a public forum!

    When will staff be available and should I not wait until then to provide the URLs and user names?

    To subscribe below each comment box you see this:
    __ Notify me of followup posts via e-mail

    You can provide the URLs and usernames to Staff in an email after they contact you.

    I have no idea when Staff will be available. Staff work their way through support tickets and forum threads tagged for their attention by dealing with those that have the earliest date and timestamps first, then moving forward to deal with those that have the most recent date and time stamps. Please be patient while waiting for Staff to assist the bloggers who posted before you did.

    Hi there,

    You mentioned several things about the dropdown menu you see when visiting this other person’s blog. Do you mean the dark grey bar across the top of the site? This is the Admin Bar, and it contains links that only you can see when logged in to your account. You will see it on all WordPress.com blogs when you are logged in to WordPress.com. Other users will not see your information or have access to your blog — they see their own admin bar with their account information, instead.

    If you have any questions about this, please let me know!
