Lots of Spam Coming Through

    I have been using this plugin for years, and besides maybe one or two spam comments coming through on a very rare occasion, it has been working flawlessly.

    However, starting about two weeks ago, spam comments are coming through every day. These are obvious spam comments, and doesn’t appear to be manually submitted. They are complete nonsense spam that has nothing to do with the subject. There is no specific IP or IP range they come from. Would you guys please fix this?

    Here are some samples:

    I have reinstalled it – spam still gets through. Nothing in the log.

    Spam comments come from registered users? You can check this on the Comments page in the admin panel.

    We do not have registered users.

    But at the moment it is only on one website. On our other websites there are no problems.

    Can you give a link to a site where there are problems?

    The plugin’s JS files are not loaded on this site. They are needed for checking for spam. This may be due to errors in the browser console.

    I understand you are using a caching plugin that combines JS into a single file. So the problem is in the error in the console, which blocks further execution of scripts.
    You can try to move the connection of the problem script to the bottom of the page, after all other scripts

    Hello, I’m the OP who posted this question. We still have issues with spam coming through in the past couple of weeks. There is nothing in the plugin’s error logs. These are not registered users (we do not have registered users, only normal commenters).

    Everything is fine on your site, the plugin works as it should . Perhaps spammers have learned to bypass our free spam protection. Try the PRO version, which checks the text of comments, as well as other spammer data on black lists. https://anti-spam.space
