    Someone recommended I post this issue here to try and get it resolved…

    I have Wordfence and just received this email…

    This email was sent from your website “Lovestarr Notebook [ Dolly Blog ]” by the Wordfence plugin at Wednesday 25th of May 2016 at 01:14:00 AM
    The Wordfence administrative URL for this site is: http://www.lovestarr.net/wp-admin/admin.php?page=Wordfence

    A user with username “admina” who has administrator access signed in to your WordPress site.
    User IP: 195.154.60.171
    User hostname: 195-154-60-171.rev.poneytelecom.eu
    User location: France

    I went ahead and blocked the IP, but I’m wondering how the hell it logged into an account that I don’t even see exists on my users.php. The only thing I see is this:

    Users
    All (3) | Administrator (3)

    HOWEVER…I do not see any other admins listed besides myself. I went into phpMyAdmin and removed the 2 mystery users, but it is still displaying (3) on the WordPress dashboard.

    I have been trying to recover my website from a recent hack/compromise and have managed to secure it for the most part, but I am still having issues such as this.
