Do not install — it breaks your website

  • For some patriotic reasons creators of this plugin added unwelcome feature in the last version.

    If installed on a website that has .RU, .BY or .SU in URL, plugin will display in aside element in footer the explicitly encoded banner “We stand with Ukraine”, that may not be what you want to be displayed on your website. (maybe it also does something else in the background, who knows).

    The plugin will not work as a spam protection on such sites. The malicious code that disables functionality and defaces innocent sites is in class-ukraine.php

    It adds this without notice, and it will also ruin Megamenu widget settings.

    Guys, you lost your ways.

    @anansi.pro We’re sorry you feel this way, but our plugin doesn’t contain any malicious code… otherwise it wouldn’t be allowed in the WordPress plugin repo.

    We did however place a Ukrainian support banner on sites with Russian domains (which was documented in the readme) but have since removed that.

    Please feel free to submit any bug/feature requests here https://github.com/Highfivery/zero-spam-for-wordpress/issues & will address them ASAP.
