Hi, I hope this is the correct place to put this. Apparently one of my wordpress sites, someone is trying to hack into it. My webhost says they are trying to upload things from the admin? She asked that I disable uploads from wordpress. How do I do that?

    Hey,
    Has he already hacked in? If not, can't you just change your password.

    I'd suggest you to protect the admin area by IP. Simple put the following .htaccess file into your /wp-admin folder:

    Code:
    AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "WP Control Panel"
AuthType Basic
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
allow from YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
    Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY your IP addresses. So no one with a different IP will be able to login even if he knows your username/pass.
