I realized that I hadn’t updated the translation files for a while and some translations were missing a ton of strings. These have all been translated now, new ones added and an all new Spanish translation has been added. Also, the Dutch translation should now be more informal and easier to read.
If you find any weird quirks or nonsensical sentences, let me know of-course. Please include what you found and what you think it should look like/read as and I’ll update the translations where necessary.
Changes in AdRotate 5.12.1
This is an update with bugfixes and updated routines. In recent updates the filters for WordPress where changed a bit which caused some filtering issues. These have now been resolved. The registration and comment filter has been completely redone so it works faster and more reliable. ClassicPress is now officially supported and tested. And on top of that Classic Commerce support has been added as well. You no longer need the WooCommerce spoof plugin to use No-Bot Registration and Classic Commerce together.
I’ve made a number of updates to the dashboard so it’s more consistent throughout my plugins. This ensures a more uniform function and makes future development a bit more easy for me.
Settings have moved
A few versions ago the dashboard for No-Bot Registration was moved to the Tools menu in your dashboard. Following my other plugin, Analytics Spam Blocker. This also frees up the settings menu which is bloated by most plugins which simply stuff their settings screen in there.
Changes for version 1.8.2
The download for No-Bot Registration should show up in your dashboard shortly. Or you can download the plugin here: https://ajdg.solutions/product/no-bot-registration/.
]]>A small update updating the dashboard and its widgets to reflect changes on my website. Links to the forums and such have been updated. The stats widget of Analytics Spam Blocker has been simplified a bit as well.
Did you get version 3+ yet?
Starting with Analytics Spam Blocker 3.0 you no longer require a subscription to get blocklist updates. This system didn’t really work as expected so I’ve removed it. Instead when you report your website gets listed in my database as a reporter. More for reference than anything else. If you don’t report for a while this listing gets removed.
When you then make a new report, you’re simply added again. Simple as that. No buttons to click, no subscriptions and server communications, no tracking, no hassle or failing synchronizations. It sort of just works.
<h3>What happens with your report</h3>
Reporting domains is easier than ever and what’s even better, the domains you report get added to your own blocklist immediately. If a few people report the same domain it’ll be included in the standard blocklist in a future update. Analytics Spam Blocker then figures out a new list when you update and removes the double entry. So there is never any confusion
Reporting referral spam is important. And to get rid of referral spam the best way is to make it obsolete. This is easily done with Analytics Spam Blocker and its reporting tool in your dashboard. Quickly report referral spam domains to my server, if several people report the same domain it’ll be included in the blocklist and ultimately will no longer show up in peoples website Analytics like Google Analytics or Matomo anymore.
When enough domains get reported, and consistently so, hopefully one day the internet will be free of referral spam. Only with your help we can make this happen – so keep reporting your referral spam domains via the Analytics Spam Blocker dashboard in the Tools menu.
Changes for version 3.0.3
The download for Analytics Spam Blocker should pop up in your dashboard shortly. Or you can download the plugin here: https://ajdg.solutions/product/analytics-spam-blocker-for-wordpress/
