Thank you for that, it saved me from uninstalling the whole plugin. I don’t mind plug-in authors asking for support or reviews (I even left one myself because of the notification), but two things I couldn’t tolerate:

1) Non-admins saw this message
2) The message was not dismissable

I see now that the plugin is deactivated awaiting scrutiny of some kind. Maybe because of this?

Hi,

Yes, that could be the case. The theme was update recently, so that could be it. The URL is https://www.hackingchinese.com, and as you can see, I have now switched to gray text that sort of works both on red and white background.

Best wishes,

Yes, I get to a screen which says:

Empty Spam

The deletion process has started, please be patient. This could take several minutes. You will be automatically redirected when the process is finished.

Then I end up on a blank screen after about a minute. During this time, spam comments are removed (I have another window open and refresh the spam count and can see the number dropping). If I refresh the blank window, it deletes comments for another minute before stopping again. I’ve currently set the window on auto-refresh every two minutes, which gets rid of comments at as teady pace, but this is of course not ideal!

The URL to the blank page is /wp-admin/edit-comments.php?action=pw_bcsd_process&step=1&total=&_wpnonce=c78a4fd458, not sure if that means anything to you, though!

Best,

Olle

Sure, I’m using the free version of PageLines (perhaps called Platform, not sure what the difference is).

Well, since activating the plugin disables the comment system on the entire website, I don’t want to activate it, at least not for longer than a few minutes. Not sure how to proceed, I don’t have a test site up and running at the moment either.
