Hi;
I bought your theme and using only 2 add-ons: WPBakery Visual Composer and tagDiv Social Counter but there are thousands of spam mails queeing for sending from my site, so its a terrible thing for me. Can you help me?
There are 20 other websites running on my server, they don’t have any problem like this.
Theme does not control comments emails, or account setup emails or forms. WP handles all email, unless you have a form or other plugin allowing access to the site in some way.
If using a form handler, disable sending confirm emails. Most common spam method. Disable WP sending you emails about spam comments on your blog/publication. This will look like spam, but it’s actually your setup having WP email you about spammy comments.
If allowing people to ‘sign up’ on your site, make sure you have akismet, a good recaptcha, and possibly other solutions out there.
Make sure you use a plugin like Limit Login Attempts to stop people trying to guess passwords.
Try normal security practices and figure out WHAT is actually sending the emails. New account? Form reply? Lost password hacks? Disable XML-RPC unless you 100% know you need it.
Lots of articles online about this issue.
Not a theme problem 🙂
