[Plugin: Spam Free WordPress] New version 1.8.1 takes the front end of my websites down!!!

Exactly as cscottb. I don’t know what you’ve done with this update, but it also took my site down. I tried to get a key and that’s a joke too. I had to disable it. Please get this fixed
Thanks

Same happened to me. I’m never using this or anything else you come up with, again.

1.8.2 should fix the issue. Let me know if this update fixes your issue.

I got the license key and it’s back up. We’ll see how it gos.
Thanks

What license key? Does it have one?I didn’t see anything and since I can’t log into my site, I can’t disable this plugin. Can anyone help? I’m not very good at it.

You will need to use FTP to delete the plugin, before you can reinstall it. If you need help go to https://www.toddlahman.com/shop/spam-free-wordpress/, and create a license key, then use the forum https://www.toddlahman.com/forums/forum/spam-free-wordpress/, so I can assist you.

verdedeparis can you get to your Dashboard? If you can disable the plugin until you get your key. Look here for the license key.

I also had the same issue, in panic mode i completely deleted the plugin through my hosting site file manager just to get my site up and running. Then I came here to report it and saw the fix was already out :(. So now i want to re-download it, is it safe to assume since the “bad” update was version 1.8.1 and the new downloadable version is 1.8.2 that the newer version has the fix in it?

1.8.2 did not resolve the problem for me. Website still down with plugin activated.

If I need to supply my name, address, phone number, email address… let’s see, did I leave anything out… to make this work… I’m otta here!

Hopefully 1.8.3 will fix this issue.

1.8.3 has resolved this issue. The sites now run fine with plugin activated.

Thank you Todd.

Just like we’re all freaking out, I’m sure Todd is too knowing that we’re all relying on him. I see that there’s already a 1.8.3 version. A+ for response in my book, especially since it’s available to all of us for FREE. I’m extremely impressed with the plug in so far and I’m not giving up that easy :).

Any feedback on version 1.8.3 yet?

So far everyone is reporting 1.8.3 has fixed the issue.

Thanks Todd. All is running fine here. Great app!

Good for me too. Thanks!!
