[Plugin: Spam Free WordPress] Spam Free WordPress for WooThemes Theme

The code will need to be posted to pastbin, and then the link to that pastebin code posted here, so I can see it.

Whoops. My apologies. Let me try again:
https://pastebin.com/PpvDqNeT

In the comments.php file find this line:

<p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" size="22" tabindex="3" />
<label for="url"><small><?php _e('Website','woothemes'); ?></small></label></p>

After the line above, insert the line below:

<?php if(function_exists ('tl_spam_free_wordpress_comments_form')) { tl_spam_free_wordpress_comments_form(); } ?>

On the Spam Free WordPress settings page you can change the Password Field Size to 22, and the Tab Index to 4.

Okay…will do.

How can I test to see if this is working properly?

And thank you for your help, Todd!

Leave a comment to test it with and without the password.

Hey I should have clarified that the site is set up to use Disqus. I figured the spammers were using some sort of automation to bypass the typical process of filling out your username/password…

I’m not sure how to test with this in place.

On the frontend Spammers submit posts directly to the comments.php file, but with DISQUS in place they will instead see their Javascript, so the Spam Free WordPress password will not be visible.

Spammers most often submit spam directly to the backend wp-comments-post.php file. Spam Free WordPress hooks into this file to prevent automated spam that DISQUS doesn’t protect against.

In your case once the plugin is activated you are protected against spam, as long as DISQUS does not all unauthorized comments using the comments.php file.

Okay thank you!
