I am not sure if my site is being hacked, but my username keeps getting changed to admin every second day or so. There are no visible signs of my site being changed, so I am not sure if I am being hacked or not.

All my plugins have been updated and i am using ithemes to protect my site. If i do a malware scan with GOTMLS, nothing is found.

i do not know what to look for anymore.

    Hi Pierre

    That is a strange sound issue. There are a few possibilities besides a site hack, so there’s no need to be overly concerned. The most likely possibility is a well-meaning plugin gone awry. Do you have a lot of plugins installed? Are there any that you could disable to see if that fixes this behaviour?

    I do have many, but i would not know where to start. all plugins are downloaded from wordpress.org. Would i have to do it one by one, or should i just disable all and reactivate one by one. When you say disabled, does that mean i must deactivate or delete

    Sorry I did not greet, very rude of me.
