Bad link in file

Like andybritnell above I just followed up a safety alert from Wordfemce and found a bitly link in the ComLuvP code.

I have not yet deleted or reinstalled the plugin – odd that andybritnell found the code even after reinstallation. It is the same file in my case too.

You do realize that the link goes straight to the CommentLuv Premium forum for beta users, correct? Or did you bother to check the link?

I find that many security plugins and software target bit.ly links as malware when they are not. Has anyone posted to the support forum for CommentLuv to see if Andy even is aware of this?

I don’t have any problems with my website at all. Just ran a sweep and everything is fine. However, I did open that particular file in NotePad++, did a search for bit.ly and found it on lines 7049 & 7047 and I deleted the links. Mind you, both lines are already commented out of the code, however, because it’s typed out as an actual link, the code is read as a link. I bet if you delete the link or tweak it so it is no longer an actually link, then run your security plugin or software again, you will find that there are no issues!

Hope that helps — at least until someone contacts Andy through the forum who actually is having issues ??

Hi Guys

No longer showing as issue.
