The second I installed this plugin I lost access to my dashboard. Main site was running but all dashboard pages returned an error caused by too many redirects. You need to rename the plugin folder and delete the various lines of “stuff” the plugin adds to your .htaccess file.
A tense and stressful few minutes while I figured out how to undo the damage this plugin did. It’s not worth the risk of installing it so stay away from it.

I’ve tried quite a few of these referrer SPAM blocker plugins before – and I was not expecting much – but I have been converted !! :+) I don’t like messing with htaccess (I’m accident prone), so I thought I would give it a try..
I use this plugin in WordPress Block mode, and over the last week or so, I’ve had ZERO referrer SPAM, on two analytics plugins I use. I have also been researching and adding my own list of ghost websites to the one provided by the plugin – including a devious one via twitter from that guy who claims he is doing nothing illegal (!); There are over 600 sites in my list, and it’s growing day by day.
Keep doing what you guys are doing – a great job !! :+)

I have installed it – and get a 403 as results for all my pages.
Worst Plugin. And Referrer is written with double “r” – experts
Rating: 1 star
When it comes to getting rid of www1.free-share-buttons.top – its COMPLETELY useless.

Works well to block all spam referrers. You can add extra urls to the blacklist. Works with network install.

Perfect
Thanks

Good when it works, but often it causes “500 – Internal Server Error” due to wrong htaccess

It was great while it worked but is no longer a good option.

the plug in caused a severe problem: couldn’t log in with the wp admin an< more. plug in caused a 302 error (too many redirections) because of the changed .htaccess. no access to the backend any more, front end looked like crap. .htaccess had to be changed back to standard.
Sorry … can only give one point. Idea is great but did not work in our case.

Installed it on one of my sites because this spam stuff is annoying. It actually ended up blocking a real person. Deactivated until I can figure out what happened.

At the beginning the plugin was giving some problems: “500 error”
But after a top email contact (he does take all the time needed to find the problem) with the developer the bug was fixed and everything is functioning perfect

Been looking for such plugin. Finally found it. Just installed today on my 3 sites so far so good we’ll see.

All the enhancements and fixes done for this release works great. Stops all the referral spam to my site and the programming logic removes any addresses I add to my custom list once they are part of the master list. You still need to add a filter to Google Analytics, if you use that.
I’ve had great support from Rob, the developer, for this app and recommend it highly.

I added a site manually to the blacklist and the entire site was blocked with “no rights.” Luckliy I had a backup, if not then…

Installed this on a couple sites of mine and I had to extend it to include a couple sites that were apparently not part of the list. But now for a couple days, I have not heard from any of the spam bots.
Thank you Rob!

Still seeing lots of spam referral traffic, updated the list and added more but it does not seem to block them.
I only have this and 2 other plugins installed, left it running with no other plugins active so it’s not a conflict or anything.

Outstanding plugin. Prompt support from developer. GA stats are finally clean!

At the time when I was searching for a plugin to block referrer spam, usually I go for a plugin that’s had the most number of downloads/installs and has had a heap of high reviews, but I took a chance on Rob’s “Block Referer Spam” plugin and I’m glad I did! His plugin had only about a hundred downloads at the time, but it’s proved itself worthy to me, blocking all spam to date, and I’ll continue to use this plugin on future websites! The user interface he’s created for the plugin is simple, intuitive, tidy and the plugin works great! ??

Installed it yesterday and haven’t had a referral spam site access my site all day. If it stays like this, I would give it 6 stars!!
