   I ve created a feed for my site (http://lifecleansing.net/) at feedburner > http://feeds.feedburner.com/lifecleansing.and was working great.
   However I didn't realize that the url in the feed icon was going to my
   default wordpress feed url (https://lifecleansing.net/feed/) instead of the feedburner one.

   As a result someone is sending from my site and it is hacked.

   Do I have to remove my wordpress feed url at https://lifecleansing.net/feed/ and change this. If so how do I do it.

   I have changed the rss feed at feedburner, is this enough?

   Thanks

   Hi Natalie,

   What makes you think your site was hacked?

   If it has, you should contact your hosting provider and ask them to scan your server files and settings for any malware/links/issues. Then you can secure the domain.

   The link was showing in my RSS feed to burner. I got a message from google that someone was sending emails from my website that were not mine.

   How do I fix this?

   1. Do I need to change my url as they have that address from the link to feedburner?
   2. Will it be ok just to change the forwarding url?

   thanks

   Unfortunately we aren't really able to help in a situation like that. Your best route is to talk to your hosting provider as they can assess what needs to be done to make sure your site is secure.

   If a url has been compromised in some way, it isn't something you should just try and circumvent as it means there is an issue that needs to be fixed.
