comment spam

  • I dont get it:
    I am still getting a horde of comment spam, but — I no longer have any comment code in my template? So, everday there are hundreds of comments awaiting mod which are spam for casino, etc… How to kill this?
    [I am using 1.2.1]

    many tks in adv.

    1. Update to version 1.5 – though it’s not an easy decision to make because it’s a major upgrade.

    2. Dealing with Comment Span is a good article about dealing with this subject in WordPress on the WordPress Codex, official documentation for the program.

    3. Seriously reconsider upgrading to v1.5 – saved me HOURS of spam dealings.

    tks for the response.
    I thought about upgrading, but the major changes made me hesitant.

    another thing I noticed is that I deleted:

    wp-comments.php
    wp-comments-popup.php
    wp-comments-post.php
    wp-comments-reply.php
    wp-commentsrss2.php

    and still there is a steady stream of spam [awaiting mod].
    The question is how is this possible?

    Read this:

    and the two links at the bottom. They may already be there.

    And upgrading ? I’m using drdave’s excellent SpamKarma2 and it kills all spam – and trackback spam – that I get.
