I’m seeing a fatal error on my site against this plugin…
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/cookies-for-comments/cookies-for-comments.php:112 Stack trace: #0 /wordpress/core/6.1.1/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): cfc_check_comment_style_cookie(Array) #1 /wordpress/core/6.1.1/wp-includes/plugin.php(205): WP_Hook->apply_filters(Array, Array) #2 /wordpress/core/6.1.1/wp-includes/comment.php(2241): apply_filters('preprocess_comm...', Array) #3 /wordpress/core/6.1.1/wp-includes/comment.php(3642): wp_new_comment(Array, true) #4 /wordpress/core/6.1.1/wp-comments-post.php(25): wp_handle_comment_submission(Array) #5 {main} thrown in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/cookies-for-comments/cookies-for-comments.php on line 112I’m using PHP 8.1, so not sure if that’s part of the issue here.
]]>Site shows the text css.php & a broken image icon in the footer. When troubleshooting, if I deactivate the Cookies for Comments plugin we have installed, it goes away.
Was hoping for some help on this if possible!
Thanks!!
]]>This is a FYI for anyone that utilizes the Cookies for Comments plugin on their WordPress site.
If your users use an adblocker such as uBlock Origin or Adblock Plus in their browser, there is a high chance that they also have the Fanboy Annoyances or EasyList Cookie lists enabled.
The Fanboy Annoyances and EasyList Cookies filter lists blocks the Cookies for Comments assets necessary for the plugin to function correctly.
If you want to help in getting Cookies for Comments unblocked, please reply to this Github thread: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/2687
]]>Hello,

Now i want to try the htaccess trick to prevent spam logins and registrations.
I tried to find the cookie wich is set in Firefox console but i could not find it.
Can u give me tips how the cookie is named?
]]>Hi, I have this plugin but it hasn’t been updated in over 12 months. Is it safe? I believe it is still working for me but I was hacked this week and I’m eyeballing a few plugins that haven’t been updated or tested in over 6 months.
Thanks.
]]>Line 112 of latest version (0.5.5) uses a function deprecated in PHP 7.2
Now the minimum PHP version for WordPress has been increased, this can be replaced with:
add_filter('pre_comment_approved', function($a) { return 'spam'; }); // thanks Akismet
Cheers
Rob
So there doesn’t seem to be a way to update the version this plugin has been tested with, so I thought I would post in here to let others know – yep, it still works with 5.02.
]]>in my site, all comment are marked as spam and cookies is not set. I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting this? Any help would be great.
]]>i have installed your plugin in my site, and whenever any one comment on my blog, all comment are going to spam, and cookies for comment is not set cookies, i’m not installed wp-minify, then what should i do??
]]>Love the plugin but it leaves a white space under copyright footer. ??
]]>Thank you so much this update was a long waited one but I hava a problem , I use
Deli Press template And this plugin causes A gap under my template could you please fix this
Google Analytics has stopped recording sessions since I installed this plugin. Can Cookies for comments be blocking Google Analytics?
]]>I’m getting comment post times that are measured in hours when it seems like seconds are more likely the correct unit. Is this a known bug?
The first time I saw noticed this message I had no idea where it was coming from or what it meant. A more descriptive label might be helpful for other confused folks.
]]>This worked fine for a while and then stopped. All comments are now marked as spam if CFC is turned on.
Things I tried to get it working again (unsuccessfully):
It’s definitely CFC which is doing this because the comments are marked ‘Cleared by Akismet’ in the spam view. Users are returned to the same page with an anchor at the end of the URL (e.g. ‘#comment-10502803’) but their comment isn’t there.
Site having problems uses a custom child theme of Thematic. The rejection message isn’t shown, but I’m not sure whether this is a quirk of the theme.

Can anyone give me some pointers how to debug this?
]]>Suggestion- have some way to kick them to a CAPTCHA & disable CfC.
]]>Would be cool if that feature gets added.
or a new plugin “cookies for sign ups”?
]]>Hello!
Because many themes have margins defined for the img tags, you should add a style=”display: none;” when the cookie is set using the image.
This way a blank space in the footer is avoided.

Dear Sirs,
This plugin works with pagespeed from google?
I tried to put the code at .htaccess and get a 500 internal server error. Is this error about the pagespeed?
Thanks and Regards,
Tony
]]>After installing Cookies for Comments and updating .htaccess, I noticed that every WP admin function was taking forever. Listing posts, updating posts, etc. would take up to 60 seconds.
Deactivating Cookies for Comments made it return to normal.
I think you need to look into a problem with your code.
In akismet the spam comment folder was automatically emptied every 14 days. How does this work with Cookies for Comments? If it does not empty it could build up millons of comments over years.
]]>I have upgraded to 3.8.1 and 0.5.5 and now all of my comments are marked as spam. I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting this? Any help would be great.
]]>This sounds like it would be a top notch bbPress plugin. Might need some tweaking with the “how quickly post was made” parameter though.
]]>Your header currently ends its description very abruptly with “This plugin will”.
Maybe add a pretty header while you’re at it? Here are some suggestions, courtesy of “free to share and modify” searches on Google and Flickr.
]]>Just curious about the background info relating to the latest update.
I can see that previously the potential attacker could ‘inject’ any kind of cookie to sites running this plugin. I am wondering what kind of attack vectors are prevented now and if there’s any post/info worth reading relating to these? (you mention Matt Cutts and @planetzuda, but I’m not sure what specifically prompted this change?)
Cheers

]]>I just spent an hour looking for my error when whitespace appeared below my footer. I understand that I can use the CSS rule, and the problem is now fixed, but …
As a theme designer, I would rather not have to rely on the end-user to choose the CSS option. Couldn’t you apply the clip method to the image:
img {
position: absolute;
clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); /* IE6, IE7 */
clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
height:0; /* Chrome */
}Change your code to this:
<img style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); height:0;" />
Height zero is for chrome, but max-height:1px will be ok if necessary.
Thanks!

]]>I recently added the Apache .htaccess rules for Cookies For Comments to one of my websites, and it has resulted in a majorly impressive reduction in spam.
A couple of my other sites run on Nginx, and I’d love to translate the .htaccess rules so that spam can be blocked at the entry level. Unfortunately, I’m virtually illiterate in the ways of making Nginx rules. Here’s what I’ve hacked together (where the string of XXXXXs are my CFC code in WordPress).
location ~* wp-comments-post.php {
if ($http_cookie !~* "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX") {
return 403;
break;
}
}Of course, it’s far too strict – it seems to generate a 403 error when I try to post comments from Curl, but when I try to post comments as a regular user, using Firefox, it returns a 405 error. Stumped!
Here’s hoping somebody can help with this!
