This is the error message I get too, metal450. I had to roll back to 2.62 to get it to work right.

OK, WebGeek. I’ve switched back to WP-SpamFree. One thing I loved about it (until it went wacko on me yesterday!) was that I didn’t have to wade through all the gnarly spam muck that I had to with Defensio, even with obvious spam hidden. I could trust WP-SpamFree to automatically delete the spam and to let real comments through. Hope it keeps doing that. ??

I have been loving wp-spamfree for quite a while, but all of a sudden yesterday, it started not allowing legitimate comments. Yesterday afternoon it said the person’s comment was not meaningful – but it was meaningful, and it it wasn’t just a few words – it was like 30 words at least. Then last evening a long-time friend contacted me to say she had tried to comment and received a message saying her comment was spam and to “enter the conversation” – which was exactly what she was trying to do. So I went to my plugins and saw that you had an update for wp-spamfree. I did the automatic update and told me friend to try to submit the same comment. It went through just fine.

So is this the way wp-spamfree lets me know that it’s time to update? I certainly don’t want to insult commenters by having their comments degraded!

In the meantime, I’ve deactivated wp-spamfree and activated Defensio. I’ve been trying to get my readers to comment, and I certainly don’t want them rebuffed in their attempts.

I just noticed that when FireFTP uploaded the file class-IXR.php it ended up being empty. When I uploaded it again, TADA! I could now post to my blog.
