Still getting errors w Version 1.9.9.8.5

Hi @areinheimer,

If you’re having issues after the last update, we’ll need you to submit a support request at the WP-SpamShield Support Page (the plugin’s main support venue).

Same here.

Warning: preg_match(): No ending delimiter ‘~’ found in […]/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamshield/includes/class.utils.php on line 665

Warning: preg_match(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in […]/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamshield/includes/class.utils.php on line 665

Just want to note that I too am receiving these errors.

Running WP 4.7.1 and WP-spamshield 1.9.9.8.5.

PHP version 5.6.21.

Only solution at the moment is to deactivate the WP-spanshield plugin.

Same on all of the sites I manage. I tried filling out your support ticket but it won’t go through even though I’ve read through your documentation.

Just an update: We have identified the issue that has been affecting some 1.9.9.8.5 users, and have been working on a fix today. We plan to release an update in the next 6 hours or so. We also have a solution for auto-updates that should make everyone happy. Stay tuned.

Love your great support. Still waiting for 1.9.9.8.6… ??

Update: Version 1.9.9.8.6 has been released. Issues affecting a small subset of 1.9.9.8.5 users have been resolved. An option to disable auto-updates has been added to the settings page, along with an advanced option to force-disable automatic updates and remove the option from the settings page. (This would be useful for multisite admins.) To disable auto-updates in the settings page, just uncheck the box for “Enable Automatic Updates” and click “Save Changes”. To use the advanced option, add the following code to the wp-config.php file (before it says to stop editing):

define( 'WPSS_AUTOUP_DISABLE', TRUE );

That should make everyone happy. ??

Thank you very much, Scott. ??

Update installed. Plugin activated again. No white screen of death, no errors shown. I put ‘define( ‘WPSS_AUTOUP_DISABLE’, TRUE );’ into config.php. Now I am searching for the box for unchecking Automatic Updates. I can not find it. But I think that is irrelvant. I am using your plugin for a long time. Never had issues like this. I hope it will work from now on again for a long time without problems.

Hi @chaoti,

I’m glad to hear ?? Thank you for the positive feedback!

That’s outstanding that you’re getting to make use of the new feature.

If you put define( 'WPSS_AUTOUP_DISABLE', TRUE ); into your wp-config.php, it removes it from the settings page altogether, and forces the auto-updates to be disabled altogether. This is good for developers with clients and multi-site owners who want to make sure that the client or end-user with site-level admin privileges doesn’t accidentally re-enable it. If you just need it on your own site, you don’t need to add that code to wp-config.php. In this case, or if you set define( 'WPSS_AUTOUP_DISABLE', FALSE );, the option will appear on the settings page.

Thank you. ?? We work very very hard to make sure no issues like this happen. Once in a blue-moon, it can happen despite the best processes. We always will work tirelessly to fix issues ASAP though. (None of us have slept much the last few days.)

If you want to re-enable auto-updates in the future, you are welcome to. Let us know if you ever need help again! ??

– Scott
