Unfortunately, I still haven’t found a solution. There are many people who don’t fill out there names on my weblog. I want to require them to fill out their names, but not their e-mails.

Is there anyone who can help me with this? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there are other places where I can ask my question?

Thanks!

I just found out that the problem is caused by the wp-config.php-file. The problem occurs when I replace my old wp-config.php-file for the new wp-config.php-file. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there are other ways to get an answer to my question?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone please??

To be clear:

I want to publish a blogpost on the third position on my front page, for about a week. And I want the blogpost to stay on that third position and not move downwards as new articles are published.

I hope anyone can help!

Thanks,

MCBO

Hi Figaro,

Thank you for your reply. It’s early morning here, so I just contacted my hosting provider.

The problem was that my table crashed. He repaired the table and ran the query. It worked out. I can see my Spam-comments again in WordPress.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Figaro,

I just tried to delete the spam-comments, but I think I’m in trouble.

When I run the SQL-query DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘spam’, I get the following:

Deleted rows: 0 (Query took 0.0003 sec)

When I run the SQL-query DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = spam, I get the following:

Error
SQL query:
DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = spam
MySQL said: Documentation
#1054 – Unknown column ‘spam’ in ‘where clause’

However, there are still 1,931 spam-messages.

What should I do now? I’m really worried.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you. I’m gonna try it in the morning. I will first back-up my database, it’s almost 170 mb. I will let you know if it worked out!

Hi Figaro,

Thank you for your reply. Are you sure that spam should be in single quotes?

In the tutorial 0 isn’t put in single quotes: https://i28.tinypic.com/anijif.png.

I’m not an expert in this.

Thank you.

Figaro,

Thank you a lot. The tutorial shows how to delete unapproved comments with use of the query ‘DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = 0’.

I want to delete spam-comments. Should I use the query ‘DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = spam’ instead, since spam-comments are marked als ‘spam’ in the ‘comment_approved’-table?

Thank you.

Does anyone know how to contact Akismet? Maybe they can help me.

Thank you.

Hi Esmi,

Thank you for your answer.

How can I check my feed?

Hi Supernovia,

Under Settings / Discussion this option is given: “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail”

But I only want my visitors to fill out name, not e-mail.

How can I do this?
