Did you use the same password for your email account and your blog?

Are you sharing log-in information with anyone or leaving it where anyone can locate it?

Are you remaining logged in on your computer so anyone can come along and access your blog through it?

Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that's how many hackers gain access to blogs

Then read this please knowing that blogs don't get hacked when security protocols are followed. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.

2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/

4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

5. Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.

Yesterday I was hacked by some strangers. I've been advised to protect my " wp-admin " directory by usernames and passwords and I just did it. But there's a problem. Not only my " wp-admin" has been protected but also every single page and post of my website has been protected!
It means when a person visits my website and click on a post to read, a form appears and wants them to fill the username and password. That's not what I wanted. I just wanted the Cpanel to be protected not the public posts.

You can check the problem here :

How can I solve this problem?

BlueGrassSitters.com is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can't help with.

To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.

Did you change your blog URL in the dashboard under General Settings? If so, you'll have to access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel) and manually change the siteurl and home values.

When you're done, follow this guide to move WordPress.

If that doesn't work, please contact the WordPress.org Support Forums.

My true website is http://www.bluegrasssiptters.com, currently the only access I have is to http://www.bluegrasssitters.wordpress.com, but I am the current owner even though it has our previous marketer's name. I didn't know how to change it to my name. Please advise as this is my source of income. I must have access to the back end of BlueGrassSitters.com.
Please help as I have not done a backup. What do you need from me to know what I am saying is correct?
Thank you in advance for your time.
