In reply to: [Link Library] SuggestionsThank you!
I will also point out that it is possible to use Honeypost and Google no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA on the same form. I have those two plus an Akismet validation of names and e-mails on my forms. That way, the spambots that learn to avoid one trap get stopped by another.
Check out the following plug-ins to add the above spam prevention methods to your form:
Also, make sure that you have in fact added Honeypot, Google no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA, and Akismet to your forms. Each of these requires editing of the forms (not just installation) to accomplish. Check the documentation for the edits needed.
No problem! I just started using SendGrid (after years of using my own server’s mail function), and am trying to figure out all the features. Their total opens seems to be a bit weird, as it divides the total number of opens (even if the same person opens the e-mail multiple times) with the total number of e-mails sent. That seems to me a rather meaningless figure. But the unique opens and unique clicks are helpful.

In reply to: [MailPoet Newsletters (Previous)] Mails going into Span!You might look at using the SendGrid option as your “Send With” option. That tends to cut down on your mail’s identification as spam in the first place. And they have options for verification that should cut it down even more.

In reply to: [upPrev] Latest version is brokenHmm, no idea why the old plugin updated to yours. But I clearly have yours now. (I followed the link from the plugin on my site to here.) So I’ve just deleted the old shortcodes, and am using the settings to select which post types get the flyout.
I had the same issue–and was particularly upset, because upgrading caused me to lose my prior theme with no warning that it was going to happen or that it had happened. (I found out about it only when I happened to look for my site on my phone myself, and discovered that it had changed to a theme that didn’t work at all with the structure of my site.) I ended up switching to Any Mobile Theme Switcher Pro in order to continue to be able to use my own theme for mobile devices. Any Mobile Theme Switcher Pro has a 7-day free trial, plus you can get a permanent license for free by liking them on Facebook and reviewing them on WordPress. And it does what WordPress Mobile Pack used to do–allow you to use it just as a switcher, and supply your own mobile theme.

In reply to: [XML Sitemap Generator for Google] Missing xml tag errorThe file is not on the server; it’s supposed to be generated on the fly when called for. However, I’m having the same issue with the Missing XML tag. I’ve used this plug-in for a long time, but the issue just started recently.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] WordPress 3.7.1 CompatibilityIt is working for me. (I just tested it by sending a form from my site, and all was well.) However, two caveats:
- It is causing a conflict with the MailPoet (formerly Wysija) Newsletter plug-in, so I have to disable Contact Form 7 any time I want to send a newsletter.
- On the main page for the Contact Form 7 plugin, no one says it is working and three people say it is broken.
Thus, you may want to wait a few days to try it, to see whether the issues get resolved.

In reply to: [BackWPup – WordPress Backup & Restore Plugin] 3.0.13 upgrade failsI used an FTP program to delete BackWPUp entirely, then did a clean install of the new version, and it worked. That may be an option to try.

In reply to: [Link Library] Search function issuesThanks, jircas! That’s got the problem fixed for now. And I’m hoping that he will have it fixed permanently the next time he updates.

In reply to: [Facebook] Customize Open Graph protocol for your site or networkOkay, I answered my own question. Here’s the code:
function change_fb_meta_type($metatags) { if (get_post_type($post) == 'clg_library') { $metatags['https://ogp.me/ns#title'] = 'Employee Benefits Library: '. get_the_title(); } return $metatags; } add_filter('fb_meta_tags', 'change_fb_meta_type');
