Glad I could help and glad you got your site back working.

It was my first time using WP Rollback. It was simple to do. Added it like any other and activated it. Once that is done, all you have to do is go to your dashboard>plugin>installed plugins and all of them will have a new button under them that says “rollback”. Click that and it brings up a popup with all the previous versions listed. Click the one you want, answer the scary worded “are you sure you really want to do this? OK, don’t blame me if the world ends” pop up and it restores it.

I had absolutely no issues with it at all. My meta boxes were back and best of all, it didn’t hang on me any time I went into a post and tried to type in a focus key word or update the snippet.

Tastyshot, I used WP Rollback to revert back to a previous version. If you truly wish to leave Yoast behind I hear a lot of good things about All in One SEO Pack. Good luck. I was thinking I was going to have to uninstall when I couldn’t even put in a key word without it hanging.

Also, I found out that the default on the plugin is 15 characters, so it will block a short comment, but tells you that the comment is too short. You can also adjust the min characters required. You should have given the author a chance. I’ve been running WP-Spamshield for over a year with no spam and no issues on a community site. I had some custom code in my child theme that the latest version combined with a WP change caused a known bug to stop certain users from commenting. I submitted a ticket (my first) and was contacted very quickly. He worked with me until “I” tired out at 3am and resumed helping me the next day. Thing is, he could have quit when it worked with the parent theme and told me I was on my own, but he kept helping and giving ideas to try. HE found the problem and although my site was sort of a one off site, sent me code to make it work for ME. He then turned around and added the code for his future releases just so I can continue to use his plugin. This is truly my favorite plugin that WP offers, with Yoast closely behind it. It is and will always be my first plugin on any new WP site. Thanks again Scott for the outstanding work! I hated that my site had issues for a day, but glad I met and got to know you as a result.

I can vouch for what the Plugin Author says here. I submitted a request and was contacted within the hour. If you read the rules of the forums, you would know that by not giving him a chance and then giving him a low mark is extremely unfair and wrong. Bad form on your part.
