What actually happens when I flag a comment as spam in the comments section?

jeremywendell — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 12:16:51 +0000

I have been flagging comments as spam in wordpress, which obviously sends them to the spam folder. However, i’m wondering what the purpose of flagging them as spam actually is since i see repeat spam comments from the same commenters that i’ve flagged multiple times.

Thank you

Post author says "root" and posts are getting spam inserted into them

ssquared30 — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:32:24 +0000

On 3 of our websites, we are getting spam inserted into our posts. I’m more of a front-end developer than backend, so I could really use some help figuring out how to stop this.

We’ve had problems with our sites getting hacked earlier this year, but we’ve set up a firewall and had the sites scanned/fixed, we thought things were better.

The problem is someone or something is inserting spam into our posts, like advertisements for jewelry and drugs and stuff like that. It’s usually in a div that doesn’t show on the website, but it’s still there in the code, and sometimes it does show on our website.

I’ve gone through the posts before and deleted them, but it keeps coming back. The posts also started showing the author as “root” instead of admin, or a users name.

Does anyone know how people are doing this and how I can stop it??

Thanks.

spam posts on my blog, cannot find them in dashboard

explorish — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 23:59:53 +0000

hi all,
saw in the blog stats that i got google links to spam posts (or pages) on my website. aah. i cannot find them via dashboard or myphpadmin, they are in a directory called /2011/88 – i have permalinks set to year/month, but 88 makes no sense.

i cannot edit them, even if i am logged in, on the page i am showed logged off.

example: https://explorish.net/2011/88/preppy-halloween-costumes/

so annoying. haven’t found any solution here or elsewhere, everyone is talking about “comment spam” – this is different.

i have the lastest version (problem started after upgrade), now installed all security plugins i could lay my hands on (except bad behavior, which won’t install), deleted admin user, talked to hosting, they recommended plugins etc, but i can’t get rid of those posts, and i have the impression new ones keep showing up.

would greatly appreciate a helping idea!
thank you in advance!

Spam in posts

Sun, 13 Mar 2011 12:34:34 +0000

Every so often I find the post on blog have been spammed with a link inserted every so often throughout all the posts. Good job I have the database automatically backing up every day so I can run it back to the latest good version. Any ideas what this could be?

There doesn’t seem to be any additional users/authors and it’s an up-to-date version of wordpress. The only thing I can think is that a couple of post-to-twitter style plugins I added recently have created a way in. I’ve been turning off the plugins one by one to see what happens.

Anyone else having this problem? All the spam plugins seem to stop comment spam – I haven’t as yet found one for post spam.

Is it possible to mark a post as spam?

But i get lots of spammers posting spam posts. Is it possible to mark a post or its content as spam?

Can anyone suggest any ideas?

Thanks

WordPress 2.6 posts hacked

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:58:45 +0000

I’m getting pharmaceutical spam inserted into the body of my posts. Usually with a stylesheet (from mcasro.org) hiding the text from visitors, occasionally not.

I’ve been reading up on possible causes and eliminating one after another:

there are no extra users in the database
there are no unwanted active plugins disguised as image files
there is no code in my active theme with eval( or base64
nor yet in the main script files, except in wp-app.php where it’s meant to be.
nor anything in theme or script files with ‘beliy’ or ‘keymachine’ or ‘seogoogle’ or any of the other things you’re advised to search for
recently changed my admin password to something very obscure
all files have good permissions
I’ve overwritten files faithfully when upgrading – apart from wp-config, see below

There was a brief interval when theme files were left at 777, hence all my searching in there for anything alien. Can’t find anything. And until yesterday I hadn’t upgraded wp-config.php for years. Done that now… but since it could be a month before the next attack, I’ve no way of telling whether this will have made any difference.

I need help.

Anyone?

post spam

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 03:16:42 +0000

I have been getting a lot of post spam. By “post spam,” mean that someone/something is regularly and automatically inserted chunks of HTML into the body of existing posts. The post itself is never altered or deleted and this new code is always inserted below in an element (usually a div) with an inline style set to display none. I have searched the net and the WordPress forums and have been quite surprised that I have not found anything on the matter. I find it hard to believe that I am the only one experiencing this. Because of that I have wondered if my server has been hacked and the exploit is coming from inside. I have worked tirelessly to ensure that that is not the case however and have yet to find anything substantial. So, I am desperately reaching out for an answer. Has anyone else experienced post spam? Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone know how they are getting in?
