In reply to: how to edit tag with visual editorHi @girlieworks. I don’t believe I was using a plugin. It’s possible I didn’t go to “Edit tag” to get to the screen I remember, but if that wasn’t it, where had I gone?
I was able to click Add media to add the shark week banner to that tag, that’s for sure. And I did it several other times with other tags. How could I have done that?
I must just be forgetting the steps that got me there. Thanks.

In reply to: general WordPress question – why not keep logs of activity?Yes, I update everything regularly. That’s all it takes to ease your mind about the security of plugins?
Are there any other red flags to watch out for before installing other plugins?
Having just dealt with a hack, I’m being extra cautious.

In reply to: general WordPress question – why not keep logs of activity?Thank for the response. I appreciate those links.
I’ve been told by our web developer that keeping plugins to a minimum is the smartest route security-wise. Since these are not official WordPress plugins and don’t have very many ratings, would it increase or decrease the security of my websites to install one of them?
Sorry if that’s a silly question. I’ve been trying to eliminate plugins recently, not add them. But an audit log seems beneficial.
Thank you for the thorough response!
First, there’s no evidence that my email was hacked and IT assures me it is secure. I don’t use Gmail, I use Outlook at work.
Second, I have reset my wordpress.com password and would like to set up two step authentication, but I don’t have a mobile phone for work. Can I set this up with my landline work phone?
Third, I never set up the aspect of Jetpack that allows me to manage multiple sites from the same interface. So far I’ve only set up Publicize.
Thanks again for your help. I hope this puts an end to the whole thing.
Hi I’m opening this question back up to add new information. I have 18 websites. Until today, only 3 of them had started sending me notifications of new posts without prompting. Today I started getting notifications from 2 others.
My account has been compromised in other ways. I’ve definitely been hacked and the hackerbot has added hundreds of new users to my sites, some as Admins.
I’ve changed my passwords and deleted the accounts and will keep an eye on it, but I don’t know the source of it. Since I use Jetpack through the same account for all 18 sites, does it make sense that the hacker got through my Jetpack account and not my individual WordPress accounts? Is having Jetpack what made me vulnerable to this attack?
Only one other person is an admin on all 18 sites – our web developer – and I’m sure his passwords are secure. I’d like to get to the bottom of this to prevent it from happening again. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

In reply to: how to maintain formatting when copy/pasting from inCopyI was hoping you (or someone) could tell me!
I guess my only option is to check every computer and compare browsers/other relevant factors. If I’m able to do that, I’ll report back here.

In reply to: how to see what pages a media file is used on?There’s no list of links for me. Does this vary by theme/version?

In reply to: how to maintain formatting when copy/pasting from inCopyHi James, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to copy and paste the content from inCopy.
When I paste it into Word and then copy it and paste it into WordPress, the formatting is maintained to my satisfaction. I’m just wondering if I can maintain the same formatting when I copy/paste directly from inCopy.
Some computers in my office are able to do that. I’m wondering if there is a known reason why.
Thanks!
Also, may I ask where you can see the 3 sites with notifications enabled for my account? I can’t find anywhere that lists all three together. When I click manage subscriptions in the emails, it only shows me that one site. Thanks.
Thank you. I will do that right away. I’d like to attach a screencap of what the email looks like though so someone can tell me if the formatting looks like what a Jetpack notification would look like, or something else.
Here is a link since I can’t attach the image: http://glencoverecordpilot.com/glencovenewpostemail/
Thank you. I prefer the site to remain private so I will contact you via the form right away.

In reply to: Publicize selectively publishing to social mediaHello again. The name of the plugin did not appear in brackets in the subject line.. How do I add it there? I’m afraid my question is being overlooked for that reason.

In reply to: Simple Map helpYou know what, it’s not Simple Map by Github. It’s SimpleMap by Michael Torbert that is installed on the other site. I’ll mark this resolved, but I still have no clue what Simple Map by Github is supposed to do.
Thanks!
