Getting spammed into oblivion since V2.2 with JetPack Comments

Foliovision › Forums › FV Antispam › Troubleshooting › Getting spammed into oblivion since V2.2 with JetPack Comments

  • Matthew B. 11 years, 2 months ago

    Hi, I upgraded to the latest version of the plugin this morning and now I am getting spammed into oblivion, my moderation queue is full of hundreds of spam messages.

    I didn’t change any configuration settings etc, any ideas what might have gone wrong? I upgraded the plugin on my site play-old-pc-games.com.

    Thanks

    Hello Matthew,

    I checked your HTML and I’m not sure what could go wrong there. It doesn’t seem that your HTML is properly adjusted by our plugin. It actually doesn’t look like our plugin at all. Are you still using FV Antispam?

    Other than that:

    1) Are you using Akismet as well to combat the human-made spam? FV Antispam works best against hard core spam bots.

    2) Did you modify your template in any way? Particularly the comment form functions.

    3) Is your template using comment_form() to show the comment form?

    We will be happy to help you fix the issue right on your website, if you support our open-source endeavors by purchasing our pro support.

    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    Sorry I had to switch to Antispam Bee it was getting out of control.

    1) No I don’t use it, I had found FV Antispam on its own completely adequate.

    2) No, I have not.

    3) Using Jetpack comments

    Regretfully I do not have enough money for pro-support right now.

    Hello Matthew,

    in that case, it might be related to JetPack comments. We found that JetPack comments are in conflict with FV Antispam, so we disabled its protection when using JetPack comments.

    It’s weird if the old version worked with with your JetPack comments though. I’m not seeing the JatPack comments interface on your site right now, is Antispam Bee breaking it?

    Thanks
    Martin

    Well Jetpack comments are enabled, maybe they just don’t work properly on my site for whatever reason.

    Could this all just be coincidence and there was a manual spam attack on my site around the time of the upgrade? The comments did look like typical auto-spam nonsense though.
