Great plugin Marcel. Thank you!

Yes I’m on 4.9.1 WP version and all plugins and theme are up to date. I agree that it may be a conflict with another plugin but unfortunately I don’t have the time to dig find out which one. For now I’ve disabled the plugin and everything is working fine and as it should be. I’ll mark this revolved even though it’s not really.

Thanks

Hi Gioni,

so I figured what the issue was. I use WPBruiser plugin alongside your plugin. I unchecked “Protect Comments For”m in the settings of WPBruiser and was finally able to post a comment successfully without getting “ERROR: Sorry, human verification failed.”

Thanks for all your support.

Hi Gioni,

just wanted to let you know that after updating to 5.8 JP stats are displaying now.

So the only issue: I cannot enable Cerber antispam engine to protect comment. When I do and I post a comment as a non-logged user comment is denied as spam (bot detected).

Thanks

I checked the activity tab and there are no URLS containing jetpack.

And I have Disable XML-RPC unchecked on the Hardening page. Is this what you meant?

Stop user enumeration is checked
Disable XML-RPC is unchecked
Disable feeds is unchecked
And under Disable Rest API:
Block access to the WP REST API except the following is checked
Allow REST API for logged in users is checked
and jetpack in the namespaces

Yes I use the hueman theme

One more issue. Jetpack stats don’t load anymore. However, when I disable your plugin stats load immediately.

I have “Allow REST API for logged in users” checked and jetpack as a namespace exception. Jetpack stats don’t display even when I disable REST API.

Thanks

Hi Gioni, with the latest dev. version, the other 2 issues were resolved and I no longer see a preloader in the comments window.

However, I still cannot post a comment and get “ERROR: Sorry, human verification failed.” when “protect comment form with bot detection engine” is checked in antispam and in activity event for my ip address is the same ==> spam comment denied bot detected.

I even tried posting a comment with safe mode under adjust antispam engine checked. The only thing I can do is uncheck protect comment form with bot detection engine.

Using contact form works. There are no other forms on the website for me to test.

Thanks again

Hi Gioni,

The comment I posted last night didn’t take for some reason. So I’m reposting.

I have other issues with the latest version(s) 5.7.x of your plugin. However, when I disable your plugin, everything works.

1/ In the Plugins section of the admin dashboard, when I click on “View version” for plugins having updates, I get the following error “This page isn’t working. mydomainname didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE”.

2/ Also when quick editing a post, updating the quick edit stalls and post doesn’t get updated. Normal edit works.

Another thing I have noticed is that in the comment section of the dashboard, right below the ip address for each comment is a preloader constantly spinning.

Anyhow, when I disable your plugin I no longer have these problems. I reverted back to 5.5 and everything seems to be working.

Hope you can figure out what’s going on.

Thanks for your time

Hi Gioni,

I enabled “Other fomrs” in Antispam and was able to use the contact form successfully and post a comment as well. Comment form is unchecked though. Did you want me to check both comment form and other forms?

Hi Gioni,

I installed the latest dev. version from the link you provided and I still have the same issue when I enable antispam/bot detection engine for comment form.

But this time, I get “the connection was reset” when trying to post a comment with Firefox. In the activity tab of the plugin the event logged is “spam comment denied” “Bot detected” for my IP address. When I disable bot engine detection, I can post comment without any issues.

Thanks again for looking into this! I unlike other users appreciate the time you volunteer in providing this plugin for many to use. Even though they are some issues with the latest update, it still is the best antispam/security plugin IMHO.

No I don’t use reCAPTCHA at all. I assume you are talking about the reCAPTCHA settings of your plugin. I never set it up and just checked all entries are blank and nothing is checkmarked. I also don’t use any other reCAPTCHA plugins.

Thanks!

Hi Gioni, please disregard the last paragraph as when I tried to post a comment I did so using another browser where I was not logged in.

Thanks!

Just FYI, for now I unchecked “protect comment form with bot detection engine” in Antispam as suggested by the previous user and was able to post a test comment.

It’s important to point out that I have “Disable bot detection engine for logged in users” checked but it doesn’t seem to be working properly when bot engine is enabled for comment form.

Thanks again!
