Hello. For years my site has had no problems with sending private message notifications via email until now. I can’t figure out what caused this to happen. My dating website is https://romancingrarehearts.com/ I don’t know if it’s a BuddyPress or WordPress issue. Can anybody help me with this problem please? Let me know if you need more information. Thanks for your time and help!
]]>Just an FYI for those still supporting this plug-in on modern servers, specifically PHP8 which has removed create_function().
Others have posted regarding this, but the one solution with a recommendation is not quite correct, so I figured I’d post this for any others in this situation.
In wp-spamshield.php, around line 2030, change
return preg_replace_callback( $regex_phrase, create_function( '$matches', 'return'.$encode_method.'($matches[0]);' ), $string );
to
return preg_replace_callback( $regex_phrase, function($matches) use( $encode_method ) { return $encode_method($matches[0]); }, $string );
When wp-spamshield is activated under tools > site health, it gives a warning that “An active PHP session was detected”:
A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.
as a performance issue.
Please resolve this.
]]>I have a website with Contact Form 7 and WP Spam Shield installed. When I try to submit the form the error “Sorry, there was an error. Please be sure JavaScript and Cookies are enabled in” appears.
How to fix that?
]]>I have a message in the Site Health section of the dashboard…..
A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.
I have WP Spam Shield plug-in running on my site. If I de-activate this plug-in the message goes away. I assume this plug-in is causing the conflict and warning message.
please advise
]]>I made the relevant changes in the plugin code and changed the problem line from
return preg_replace_callback( $regex_phrase, create_function( '$matches', 'return '.$encode_method.'($matches[0]);' ), $string );
to
return preg_replace_callback( $regex_phrase, function($matches) { $encode_method = 'rs_wpss_encode_str'; return $encode_method.($matches[0]); }, $string );
which fixed the deprecated error problem.
]]>Hi can you guys tell me what his error msg is ? and why i am getting it.. it seems it breaks my site database after some time
[2020-06-28 12:15:25.842057] [R:Xvhtu2lFAojL@aKnGI3EsgAAAAY] AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in … htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamshield/wp-spamshield.php on line 2033\n’
]]>I noticed this in my logs:

using PHP 7.4 and plugin version 1.9.21
]]>Hi there
WP-SpamShield in combination with Teams for WooCommerce Memberships creates a duplicate field in the member registration link (which is basically a user registration form). Disabling the registration spam function fixes this but then obviously we get the spam user registrations back.
]]>This plugin has been removed from the WP repo. Any news about this issue?
]]>Hi!
I’m getting the message that I should enable JS and cookies when I submit my testimonial form. This is a form from the plugin Strong Testimonials. I did disable honeypot in this form, like your troubleshooting guide says. But the message still appears. What can I do?
]]>Hello. I have an online store on WooCommerce with a payment plugin: yandexkassa (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/yandexkassa/).
When the plug-in WP-SpamShield is activated, payment stops, the payment system server reports that the payment is not correct.
How to fix it?
]]>Hello and first of all: Thank you or that plugin!
I have this problem: I tried to register with ID “testid”, “tester@…” (regular e-mail-address) and “Tester” as name. Registrations fails, I became a message that sounds like “You must have Javascript and cookies activated…”
Some internet-research bring up the idea, that WP-SpamShield causes this. So I deactivated WPSS for registrations (via the options) – and well, registrations works.
I have two users which have registrated without problems, two other users get the same message as myself.
So, if I understood it right, I have to whitelist (by e-Mail-address) the two users, which have problems? Sure, I can test it, but may be I can save a bit of time. Thank you!
On the other hand the second problem: I miss the po-files. I’m working with de_DE_formal an just want to reformulate esp. the messages, that occcurs on registration. Same of “the e-mail-address is identified as a spammer. Please contact the sitemaster to registrate: <e-mail-address>.” or something like that.
Well, sure, I can work with the pot-file, but maybe I can save a bit of time. Thank you!
So far…
]]>Hello,
I had installed WP-Spamshield plugin (Version 1.9.21). The original has the following description:
An extremely powerful and user-friendly all-in-one anti-spam plugin that eliminates comment spam, trackback spam, contact form spam, and registration spam. No CAPTCHA’s, challenge questions, or other inconvenience to website visitors. Enjoy running a WordPress site without spam! Includes a spam-blocking contact form feature.
Recently, I noticed another WP-Spamshield plugin (Version 1.9.21) under Must-Use Plugins. It is titled as WP-SpamShield Anti-Malware; Functional Integrity Scanner. This duplicate plugin has the following description:
This checks for malicious plugin files and ensures plugin functional integrity.
Questions:
(1) I do not know who installed the MUP (duplicate). Is this part of an update to the original? Or could it be have been installed by the hosting company (Bluehost?)
(2) For the functionality that WP-Spamshield promises to deliver, do I need to keep both plugins or can I remove one of these? If so, which one?
Please advise
Kind regards
Abhijeet
]]>Hi,
I’ve just seen that there are 2 spaces after the closing php tag inside am-integrity-scanner.php file inside mu-plugins.
Not sure that could be an issue but wanted to warn.
Best Regards and keep up the good work ??
]]>Make it dismissible, not persistent.
I believe Users are tired of this war between PO and WP-SpamShield, and do not need one permanent admin notice too visible all the time.
]]>Hello,
Before we installed WP-SpamShield in our client site Images and CPT Posts show perfectly in some of our pages using Media Grid / Post Grid element in “WPBakery Page Builder for WordPress” but after installing WP-SpamShield all images and cpt posts using Media Grid and Post Grid are both not showing.
Hoping the author of this plugin can resolve that.
but for now we disable WP-SpamShield.
Thanks
Regards,
Hannah
Great plugin however….
We believe the plugin has been blocking the callback page of our shopping cart with PayPal.
All our shopping carts have experienced this issue since a recent update – it was fine before.
There are too many paypal IPs to whitelist
Is there another way of allowing Paypal servers [other than turning off the plugin]
we have withheld our URL for security purposes.
thanks
]]>Hey guys. I was testing the plugin update and I pasted this text below to test the filter:
‘Shop for weight loss products online in India at Elecwire. Online shopping of weight loss products, slim & Curve body slimmer, slim evolution oil, slim sauna bath, slim sauna belt, nutritional weight loss products with cash on delivery and free shipping in India..
https://www. elecwire. com/ slim-and-beauty/weight-loss’
I thought it would be blocked but the comment went trough. Shouldn’t it be considered a SPAM? Why?
Thanks ??
]]>We are having a problem with spamshield blocking our calendar, created with Dans Embedder for Google Calendar. When logged in, the calendar shows fine, but logged out viewers got a blank calendar with no events. Turning off plugins revealed that only by turning off spamshield did it events appear when logged out. I can’t imagine why spamshield would block or conflict with what is basically a google calendar. Is there a way to add an exception to them play nicely together?
]]>WP-SpamShield plugin is generating a significant amount of script executions, resulting in the excessive CPU usage. I would like to know how this could be adjusted or prevented?
]]>My form contacts suddenly do not work, I am not receiving messages.
Is possible that the problem is your plugin?
]]>They are deleting comments that mention your legitimate plugin.

Or have you already had words with them and this is some kind of retaliation?
]]>Hi,
I am using Woocommerce. Enabling Registration SPAM Shield add two fields to Registration Page: First Name & Last Name which is fine.
How do I make these fields mandatory?
Thanks!
]]>Hello.
Is it possible to tweak the logging from ie 7 days to 14 days?
If so, how do I do it?
Best regards,
Trond
More for info for anyone searching this problem online than for any tech support.
You may find if you use WebInterpret for WooCommerce that the post requests from WebInterpret are blocked by this plugin.
Just be sure to whitelist the IP addresses for the WebInterpret webservices within WP Spamshield and you’ll have no problems.
]]>Hello,

]]>Hello @redsand !
Well pretty much as the subject headline says.
What is your recommendations for WPMU?
Should the software be network activated or by each single website?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Kind regards

I translated the plugin into Russian. Folder with the file Russian translation can be downloaded
]]>While was testing Link Auditor, I ran a scan on firebootcamp.com and discovered that the link generated by your plugin SpamShield (showing people how to enable JavaScript) is wrong – the URL starts with “https” but that page doesn’t load. The page will only load if the URL doesn’t have the “s” in “http”.
1. Can you please update the URL from https://enable-javascript.com/ to https://enable-javascript.com/ ?
I have deactivated your plugin until this is fixed.
Thanks.
