Unable to save emails to list in fact, list goes completely away!

Having the same issue here. I have been using this plugin for the last 2 months and never had a problem. Updated the plugin today to the latest version, and now when I try to add items to the email blacklist and hit update/save..the page refreshes and the ENTIRE BLACKLIST is BLANK. Please fix.

This is a very odd reported issue that 5 people have and I cannot reproduce. Whats your theme and what plugins are active?

I am using the Game Day Theme.
WP version 4.3.1

Active Plugins:

• BackupBuddy
• bbPress
• BuddyPress
• DP Article Social Share
• Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu
• WP Sitemap Page
• WP-Print
• wpDataTables

** It should be noted that I was running the same plugins, theme, and wp 4.3.1 listed above with the older Ban Hammer version 2.4.1 and never had an issue. The problem only occurred after I clicked on the Ban Hammer update button today in my wp admin plugin dashboard, when it updated from Ban Hammer 2.4.1 to Ban Hammer 2.5.1.

I really enjoy use of this plugin. Is there any way to download the older Ban Hammer 2.4.1 version until issue resolved? Can you send me a link?

Thanks

Sure – https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/ban-hammer.2.4.1.zip

There was a change to allow for people to HAVE a blank entry.

} elseif ( empty($_POST['blacklist_keys']) ) {
				if( is_multisite() ) {
					update_site_option('banhammer_keys', '');
				} else {
	            		update_option('blacklist_keys', '');
				}
			}

So for those playing at home, that says IF the post is EMPTY, save it blank.

But that should literally only happen when it’s… empty.

Oh.

Are you guys using REAL emails or is the whole list partials, like domains?

Like

@foo.com

?

Okay, please try 2.5.2

What happened was that I was adding in sanitization to ensure no junk data gets into the database, preventing XSS risks. The check I used was for sanitize_email() and that removes non-emails. I changed it to sanitize text, and that is significantly less destructive.

Ipstenu – Yes, the list was comprised entirely of domains…such as “@coloncleanse.club”. The changes you made in version 2.5.2 fixed it and the list in now saving.

Thanks.

@ipstenu fixed! Thank you Mike for the great work you do for us. Have a great day:-)
