New update coming for WordPress 6.1.1?

I am using this plugin at WordPress latest version, it is working perfectly as expected. I think, I don’t need to make any changes right now.

As tested, It’s fully compatible with WordPress version 6.1.1

I checked your site. It seems plugin is working fine as expected. Are you experiencing any issues?

Thanks for the quick reply.

The only issue is that today I encountered the first spam-comments since installing your plugin. So I checked the plugin-page in wordpress and it said: “This plugin has not been tested with your current WordPress version.”

So I thought maybe this was the issue. But if you say the plugin is working as intendet, then maybe the comments aren’t made by a bot? Guess I’ll wait and see if they’ll just stop showing up.

This plugin has not been tested with your current WordPress version.

Actually, this is just a kind of self-declaration thing from a plugin Developer side. WordPress itself doesn’t validate. So, nothing to worry about it.

Regarding receiving spam comments, sometime you may notice a few spam-comments. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee 100% protection. I suggest trying below strategies.

1. Make use of WordPress Discussion settings to automatically put spam comments in trash. (Caution: Do not over do it as it can slow down. Putting 5-10 lines is fine.) https://i.imgur.com/XAsww0L.png
2. Block the xmlrpc.php file of WordPress using .htaccess file or functions.php file of your current theme (Ideally, child theme functions.php if available or via Code Snippets plugin). Here’s a code that should be added. Note: This will not work with JetPack as it requires xmlrpc.php (If you are not comfortable editing code, please leave this step for your Hosting team/Developer. Needless to say, it’s a good idea to take a backup first.)
   
   add_filter('xmlrpc_enabled', '__return_false');
3. If above all approach fails, try Cloudflare Turnstile plugin. This is slightly heavier than my plugin but it does the job.

I hope it helps. Thanks for using Forget Spam Comment and spreading words about it. Much appreciated.
