I get new post every day in my wordpress Mysql wp_post table also when i google my site Google Shown me "This site may be hacked." How can i protect these spams permanently. I have to go to Mysql Database everyday to Delete them manually using this code "DELETE FROM wp_post WHERE Post_status="test". because i can only see them in the database. Most of them are Essay writing blogs

Thanks

Since you're running WordPress, here are two steps you could take to avoid spams.

Steps:

1) Activate akismet. Visit this link to know more.

2) once logged into your site's dashboard go to -> Settings -> Discussion.

Then under Other comment settings check the checkbox that says Users must be registered and logged in to comment. After that save your changes and see if your spams persist.

3) Make sure you don't have any plugin that runs a MySQL insert query. Try disabling all plugins and see the result.

Hope that helps.
