Conflict with Search Plugin
-
Hi,
First of all, thank you for an amazing plugin! I’ve used it for at least a year and everything has been working perfectly. Today though, I realized there may be a conflict with a search plugin (Ajax Search Lite) I just installed.When going to my website (https://tradablepatterns.com) and using this search box from my Android Chrome or Brave browser and typing in keywords like Bitcoin, the search process takes much longer and then the webpage displays the following error:
“We’re sorry, you are not allowed to proceed
Your request looks suspiciously similar to automated requests from spam posting software or it has been denied by a security policy configured by the website administrator.If you believe you should be able to perform this request, please let us know.
RID: 0FQKDPQXSCIB75IKFOHYSYEG”
From the Activity tab of the Dashboard, I can see that there’s a “Spam form submission denied” message for each time I submit some keyword in the search box and get the error above. The strange bit is I’m able to submit the same keyword from my laptop web browsers and produce the results just fine. Also strangely, is that after getting the above error, if I simply reload the page searching the same keyword, the search results display properly.
Interestingly, if I view the Activity entry that triggers “Spam form submission denied”, I see that the IP addresses indicated for my searches that trigger the error messages don’t match up with my mobile’s static IP address (when I Google for my current mobile’s IP). It appears that different IP addresses are being associated with my searches perhaps making it appear that the searches are coming from a spambot. My phone is currently using wifi with the phone IP address set to static but I’m assuming my external phone IP still changes due to my Wifi network relying on a DHCP IP assignment.
Looking forward to any ideas and much appreciated in advance!
Darren
