In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] IMPORTANT: Plugin no longer supportedYes sure, why not. But you would also have to also host the database and back-end scripts.

In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] internal server errorConfirmed.
Hi Javier,
thanks for the fast response.
So you are saying that taking well over 1 second for each query to be executed is acceptable? I’m by no means a MySQL guru, but AFAIK should no query take 1 second or longer.
Thanks

In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] Might Block Real PeopleHi brianafm,
any chance I could get more information about the visitors? How did they come to your site? There is no whitelisting in the plugin, so it simply blocks users with a bad referer (no spelling mistake!) address.
If you could provide me more info, I’d be happy to take a look!

In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] Might Block Real PeopleHi Brianafm,
would have loved if you got in touch with me before giving a 3 star review.
Anyway, this is almost impossible. The plugin really only blocks people/bots who are coming from or pretending to come from a malicious site. If a real visitor was blocked, the only way this could have happened is if they were on one of the malicious/blocked sites before coming to yours.
Could you give me more details on that?
Hi there,
this makes all the sense in the world and I will take this into consideration in the upcoming update. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks!

In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] Bug: 'Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER'Hi timjrye,
sorry for the late reply, there is no excuse for this so I won’t make one up! ??
I am currently in the process of relocating to a new country, lots of interviews and lots of other stuff going on, which prevented me from pushing an update. I really hope that within the next week I can push the update (which will include this bugfix and other changes).
I apologise again for the delay and appreciate the feedback!

In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] Parse error?Hi Greg,
thanks for getting in touch and Merry Christmas!
May I ask in which PHP version your WordPress is running?
Edit:
I just double checked, the minimum version required for this plugin is PHP 5.3. Using anything lower than 5.5 is not only completely outdated, but also very dangerous as it has reached the official End of Life. It was released almost 6 years ago and even 5.5 is only receiving security updates, only 5.6+ is still supported and should be used.I’m sorry to tell you that with your current setup, you will not be able to use my plugin! ??
Thanks!

In reply to: [Block Referer Spam] Doesn't workHi again! ??
I am almost sure, as you can see he complained at just about every other plugin.
OT: Thanks, I get that the SEO for the plugin is not optimal, I did not think about this when creating the plugin. But, it actually is not misspelled. Indeed, “Referrer” is misspelled, see more about this here: .
I hope that my tags and the description make up for it, otherwise I will have to change it!
