Then I started being barraged with all sorts of spam attacks. I had been getting them consistently for a couple of weeks from the same persistent I.P.s – I KNEW I had a problem, I just figured no one else was noticing, so I reached out to Akismet to ask for additional help to monitor and stop the attacks.
Beyond the initial BOT generic response to my plea for assistance, I reached a human who took my concerns seriously, worked quickly to assure me the attacks were being seen, monitored, and that many *more* than I had realized had already been caught and stopped. They began at once to remedy the situation and through a few steps on my end, have quickly and abruptly ended the attacks from being a menace.
Persistence was key in this situation on my part. Knowing what to do and how to do it came from the experts at Akismet. In this instance, having no spam plugin would have been tantamount to suicide for my wordpress blog. Having a blog with spam protection built-in was so seamless, I had assumed it wasn’t really doing anything.
How wrong I was.
]]>However, the captcha warning for this plugin keeps popping up for all admin users and doesn’t seem to be able to be disabled.
Why will the plugin not remember our choices and stop showing the warning?
Thanks,

I’m trying to create a dynamic form using Contact Form 7. The form should populate custom meta fields of a custom post type (Job) to the front end. Since some of the fields are persisted in the database as arrays the number of fields differ from a job to another(Ex: Job Related Questions). After some research I decided to manually create a template containing the form and hook it to a WordPress page. I used Contact Form 7’s shortcodes to generate the input fields. I’m stuck at the last step which is storing the data in an admin-accessible storage (Ex: Flamingo). Is there a way to do that programatically?
Here is my code
<?php
$job_id = $_GET["job_id"];
$job_post = get_post($job_id);
?>
<div class="application-container">
<h1 class="job-title-header"><?php echo get_the_title($job_post) . ' Job Application'; ?></h1>
<form id="job-form" name="job-form" action="" autocomplete="off">
<section class="application-info-sec">
<h3>Personal Information</h3>
<div class="row">

</div>
<div class="col col-4">
<label for="middle-name">Middle Name</label><br>
<?php echo wpcf7_do_shortcode('[text* middle-name id:middle-name placeholder "Ex: John"]'); ?>
</div>
<div class="col col-4">
<label for="last-name">Last Name</label><br>

]]>Is there a hook/action in the code for this?

]]>We are testing it and really like it. There are four areas we could use some help with:
(1) The file attachment plugin is not working for us correctly. It works if we only use the backend. We attach an upload and can see it, open it. In WordPress, we can attach and upload. But if we try to open it in WordPress, there is a “file not found or permissions error. It cannot read or get to download.php.
Same is true for trying to open it in the OST interface. If we try to open the attachment in a ticket created in WordPress, no luck. We have tested all the permissions and everything else seems to work fine. We just cannot open the attachments.
(2) We noticed that when we update the database connection info in the settings page, it also changes the SMTP user/pw info in the email config page. Or at least that is highlighted. Is this by design, that it is reading the cookie info?
(3) If we disable the plugin, and re-enable it, we lose all the settings and have to re-enter them. Is there a way to make this info persistent, like add it into ost-config.php? It would help to be able to not have to do this overtime. Use case for this is when we are developing, we take snapshots. To do that, we turn off all the plugins. Then enable them.
(4) Does anyone have a cheatsheet on all the CSS settings? We are blending this into our child theme, and want to only change what is necessary. There are a few buttons (Close>) and others that need to be updated.
Thanks again, for any help one can offer. And thanks again for making it available to use.

]]>I am migrating from ninja forms and using the GF API to post data to the form. The problem is when the user logs in, they don’t see the data, presumably because the data was never associated with the user.
Is there any function to call to associate or persist the data to associate thee form to the user as if they didn’t complete the form?
I am also assuming that if I don’t check clear persistence on submit, the data would remain for the user next time they login.
Thanks

]]>Just wondering if there is a way to clear the form from the front end.
For example having a clear form button at the top of the form that would clear the data on that form. I have tried adding buttons in a HTML field like <button onclick=”window.localStorage.clear();”>Clear All</button> this only resubmits the form and does not clear it.
Thanks

]]>1. As written it looks like sites could overwrite each other’s cookies in a subdirectory multisite deployment.
To avoid this issue one would need to either
I prefer the latter as the browser will only pass around the cookies that it needs to. In a large network if enough cookies are set you could possibly exceed the set headersize limit and cause a denial of service.
2. The active tab feature is purely client side and would thus be better served by localStorage if it is available instead of cookies. The solution as implemented creates a cookie for each tabset and those cookies are passed back and forth with every page request and since the cookie path is not being scoped to the page all cookies are being passed back and forth.
I wrote the code below to persist the tab states before this feature was added. The code stores the selected tabs on a page in a key-value store using the page path as the key you could also use siteid+pageid+tabsetindex as the key (you can’t scope localStorage like you can with cookiepath).
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
post_tabs_persistence = {
key:"selected_post_tabs" + "-" + window.location.pathname,
selected_post_tabs:{},
supports_local_storage:function() {
try {
return 'localStorage' in window && window['localStorage'] !== null;
} catch(e){
return false;
}
},
init:function(){
if (this.supports_local_storage()) {
this.load_state();
if(!this.tab_element_exists())
this.init_dom_tab_state();
this.attach_handler(this);
}
},
init_dom_tab_state:function() {
$.each(this.selected_post_tabs.tabs,function(i,v){
$("#"+v).click();
});
},
add_tab_to_state:function(tab_id){
if($.inArray(tab_id,this.selected_post_tabs.tabs) === -1)
{
this.selected_post_tabs.tabs.push(tab_id);
}
},
remove_tabs_from_state:function(tabs){
$.each(tabs,$.proxy(function(i,v){
index = $.inArray(v,this.selected_post_tabs.tabs);
if(index > -1) {
this.selected_post_tabs.tabs.splice(index,1);
}
},this));
