macmanx:

Thanks for the info on the plugin. This worked

This theme is more than worthy to enter in the competition. As of right now, it’s a winner to me if I was the judge.

I love the way you made the borders around your thread posts. That looks very clean and neat. If it was available for download, I would download it, make it my new theme and modify it to match the color scheme on my other web page, and provide a link it back to you

Most Apache web servers have set the following pages as the default page with a directory.

default.htm default.html index.htm index.html index.php

However, if the default pages were listed exactly as I had listed it (from left to right), the apache file ‘httpd.conf’ would by default look for the default page in the order as listed (from left to right). Therefore since index.html is listed before index.php and you have both a index.html and a index.php in your directory, Apache would load index.html as the default page since that file was listed first.

I would ask your web server support team two questions:

(1): What are the names of the default pages within your web server space?

(2): Is the web server unix/linux based and running apache as the web server?

If so, you can create a file named “.htaccess” (it has to be named .htaccess) and add these lines between the pound signs:

#########################

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

DirectoryIndex index.php

##########################

Save the file, upload it to the root web directory, and set permissions to 644 (or -rw-r–r–)

This will force the default page to be index.php and if someone went to splashhall.org (without any file extentions) via a link, this should forward them to the spashhall.org/index.php page.

Also, if you want to keep the index.html page, change the name to something like index2.html and change the code references on other pages to this page to index2.html

Did this new version fix the problem of blocking such words as cANAL , harrASSment, TITle, etc. because they had letters in the same order as the block words in the spam block list?

Thanks, this is a great piece of software. This stopped a rash of spam e-mail I had for texas hold-em and numerous sexual dysfunction drugs. I have also added as an extra precaution, the plugin Trencaspammers which forces a commenter to enter in a six digit code before posting. This plugin is available for download at:
https://coffelius.arabandalucia.com/index.php?p=9
I found it easy to install and activate in the plugins portion of the WP admin station.
Also, I have found that monitoring my regular spam e-mail provides me alot of deviant ways to spell words that are in the common spam words list to add to the list.

I am having the same problem with Kubrick.
I will say this up front, my blog is in a subdirectory
I downloaded the files, uploaded them, placed the rules into my .htaccess file in the root pointing to my blog directory. I even updated the permlink structure and when I went back to the blog, could not access older posts, the 404 error page would come up and the blog is looking for an directory that is not present within the blog subdirectory. I had even placed a test post up and tried to comment to it with no luck.
I had to go back to my old template. I like the Kubrick template and would like it to be on my site in the future if I can get it working.

That did it, thanks podz

In the comments section, it’s like this

And so he couldn\a€?t take it and now he\a€?s made up the fraud stuff to make her look bad, because he can\a€?t look bad,

It only appears in the comments and not in the original post. Wierd. I knew some programming languages required this to be placed in their scripts to make words appear normal but I do not know PHP well enough to understand why it’s doing this.

Thanks podz. I followed the flood control hack and it worked well. Thanks also for answering question #3. I will look at the code for the answer to question #2.

thanks LaughingLizard
I uploaded and re-installed the new spam filter. This works and should be a feature added to the next release of WordPRess

I have 1.0. Will I need to do this mod to the b2functions.php file,

Laughing Lizard:
I was able to download the zip file. I did the updates and got no change to the program. I sent you an e-mail explaining what I did. Please respond back both via e-mail and the forum and thanks in advance for your help.
presto

Scooter:
I agree on the B2-* folders being deleted. It appears these two folders were replaced by the folders ‘wp-images’ and ‘wp-includes’.
Also as a security measure, I renamed all files that were named ‘install’ or ‘upgrade’ that I was able to determine from the readme.html and I deleted the readme.html. My logic (and maybe I am wrong or it may be ill-founded) is this:
” if a hacker reads between the lines the documentation found in the readme.html, a attempts to access the files having to do with any upgrades and installs, a hacker may possibly be able to take a web browser and access the readme.html if left installed and possibly mess up a clean installation. Maybe I am wrong or a little paranoid about these types of things where I want to take some precautions in reference to security.

Sushbuh:
I agree with you about not wanting your blog to mess up on upgrade. I have gotten my blog exactly as I like it and am willing to upgrade if the contents and aesthetics do not get radically altered.
