Another WordPress Comment Hyperlinking Bug

November 30th, 2007 I like to say that Comment Guard Pro will be the final plugin you will ever need for WordPress comment spam protection. It contains 18 pluglets for protecting you from comment spam, an open API for you to write your own pluglets, detailed live statistics (AJAX updated) and more.

December 24th, 2004 My recipe for getting rid of comment spam once and for all: Install WordPress 1.2.1 or later. Install ImageAuth hack Go to Options Tab.

August 20th, 2007 Nowadays my WordPress comments table is frequently getting corrupted and I have to repair it. The MySQL table repair command does the trick.

May 15th, 2006 We are doing extensive work with WordPress, developing plugins, themes and also modifying the code base where necessary. In the process I found it necessary to create a online cross-reference of WordPress source along with capability to annotate / comment (AJAX based) as necessary.

December 4th, 2008 Wordpress Notifier is a freeware application that alerts you when new unapproved comments are posted on your Wordpress blog. I have seen successful admins from internationally popular blogs and believe me its some time too hectic to refresh the page every minute so that you don't miss out on an imporntant comment.

May 5th, 2006 Many of my posts have multiple pages. WordPress today doesn't provide a visible way to add multiple pages to your (single) article / post.

January 17th, 2007 After being thoroughly fed-up with the state of WordPress comment spam protection, I have decided to solve the comment spam problem in WordPress blogs once and for all. I have installed an experimental commenting system which is designed to completely stop (read 100%) robotic spam (spam generated by bots and not humans) in all my blogs and with no (read 0%) false positives.

December 4th, 2004 1 comment approved 69 comments deleted Its kind of getting painful deleting "texas-holdem", "debt-consolidation" emails by hand. What wordpress needs is a bulk moderation folder where such emails can be automatically dumped and if un-moderated deleted after say 30 days.

August 29th, 2007 We have the Comment Guard plugin on all of our blogs with the latest version. Comment Guard is our fool-proof solution to eliminate comment spam from automated bots, which constitute over 90% of comments.

March 7th, 2005 Introduction WordPress (a Weblog/CMS software) comes with "nofollow" enabled by default, with no option to disable it! This plugin provides an option to disable "nofollow" in the most efficient way possible without altering any WordPress code. Background Any comments URL's posted by the viewers of a WordPress powered site are automatically tagged as "nofollow".

September 23rd, 2008 This blog is actively protected by Comment Guard Pro, WordPress Comment Spam protection plugin for pro-bloggers and semi-pro bloggers. We don't allow any spam, even apparently innocuous ones in this blog.

March 17th, 2005 It was surprising to find no comment spam after installing WordPress 1.5, noting that I haven't enabled CAPTCHA with this upgrade. However I soon realized that I wasn't receiving any normal comments too on very commentable articles.

August 30th, 2007 We have deployed Comment Guard Pro across all our blogs. It has been extensively tested for this internal release and we don't expect any problems.

August 24th, 2005 After briefly scanning the eleven defects fixed in 1.5.2 (an interim release before WordPress 1.6) I identified the changed files. They are: xmlrpc.php comment-functions.php wp-admin/post.php pluggable-functions.php registration-functions.php wp-admin/categories.php wp-commentsrss2.php wp-includes/template-functions-category.php edit-page-form.php I am shortly planning to provide a patch update from 1.5.1.3 to 1.5.2.

September 9th, 2007 Sometimes I see comments where the name of the person is not really his name but a popular keyword which obviously links to his website. While I understand the need to have link-love for useful comments and even encourage it, the name field shouldn't be abused by using keywords like "Web Banner Design", for example.
