Email Spam

[EVERSAW]

Hi!

We get a lot of Emails from our Webzine Theme Page (no contact, only Spam). How we can fix this problem? If we post a new article, we get an email and from spam bots too.

Thanks

I cant understand why we get so much spam and if we blog a post or change something on our Blog we get emails too.
Thanks

Did you set the Verification Question/answer ? Could you paste your website url?

[EVERSAW]

Thanks for the support, check your website: http://bit.ly/191ZBOK

The verification Question/answer(http://d.pr/i/TK5d) doesn’t work? I want to know if that the verification can stop the spam mail.

[EVERSAW]

I think we get spam from the wordpress theme and not from the contact form – like invisible comments on the page or other thinks? Can you post me a few configurations for wordpress for “anti spam” like no comments allowed (not only invisible) and other?

Thanks very much!

[SeaTheme]

From the content format of mail you pasted, they should be from the contact form.

Please change the verification question/answer in theme option(webzine/footer http://d.pr/i/khJI ).

For comment spam, you can try to install some anti-spam comment wp plugin

Hey, I’m having the same problem. In the footer options, I only have a check box for “Enable Random Verify Number” and this doesn’t seem to work.

hi birdwatching,

we’ll try to find a new way.

Hi,

I upgraded the captcha code, please follow:

1) backup your data and theme folder (../wp-content/themes/webzine/)
2) download and unzip the file
3) replace the footer.php and functions.php to ../wp-content/themes/webzine/ folder
4) put the class-ux-captcha.php and gentium folder to ../wp-content/themes/webzine/functions/ folder

Did the new code works little better? No improved?
Could you please paste some screenshots of the spam list in your mail box after use the new captcha code?

[lena]

i think it works a little better than the old one.
The site is not indexed yet, so i was suprised, that i even get spam.

i only got one spam since the new code is build in:

Hi,

I changed a new way, please follow:

1) Install Akismet plugin, go to Settings/Akismet and insert a api follow it’s tips (it’s free)
2) download and unzip the file
3) change as your api and url in the footer.php: line304-307 and line119-121
4) replace the footer.php and functions.php to ../wp-content/themes/webzine/ folder
5) put the class.microakismet.inc.php and func.microakismet.inc.php to ../wp-content/themes/webzine/functions/ folder
