So I got added (I can even see the admin panel) but I still get a 403 Forbidden error.

Does it take a while until this change is replicated to the SVN?

EDIT: /Ignore, it started working now

Thanks! ??

WebGeek, I did not say it happens for everyone, I just said that it happens for me perfectly synchronized with the plugin activation/deactivation so that makes it unlikely to be a WP glitch.

Indeed I do not necessarily blame your plugin and it might very well be a combo with the way my host has setup his server. It might even be the cron delay that Otto42 mentioned (which I’m going to check later)

But the fact that this happens and is easy to replicate makes it worth investigating.

As before, this seems to affect only outgoing pingbacks for me, as I managed to receive one (although I won’t know if I missed any unless I see it through google blog search backlinks).

If that was the case then why do pingbacks stop working as soon as spamfree is activated and start again when I deactivate it? If it was a random glitch one would assume that it would remain regardless of what I do with spamfree. Unless the glitch happened to appear perfectly synchronized with my spamfree testing which I find a bit impossible.

The good thing is that I received a pingback so it seems they still come through.

There is definitely something going on here. I have the same problem with nadia and I noticed it when my recent blogposts did not ping to the people I was linking to. I just now did some field testing on a test site and with spamfree off pingbacks are working correctly.

WebGeek, it might very well be that you don’t have anything blocking these from going out built in but this is still happening, thus I would classify it as a bug.

Unfortunately this is the kind of thing that is difficult for most people to realise as you can’t know if you were supposed to receive a pingback unless you were expecting it. And you can’t tell if your pingback was received unless you know to doublecheck.

I also had a similar problem with another spam plugin, bcspambloc which did not allow me to receive trackbacks (getting them out worked fine) and thus I had to disable it.

Perhaps this is a combo problem with the host as well? I am using Dreamhost, what are you using yourself nadia?

Personally, as I need something like spamfree for the moment, I will simply have to workaround it by disabling it before posting and then re-enabling it, but I would appreciate if you could take a look. I will gladly give you admin access to my test blog if you want it in order to check yourself.

Use the splitting method

Activate 40. If they fail, activate the other forty
Then activate 20. If they fail activate the other 20
Then activate 10 etc…

Nevermind. Solved it.
Plugin issue

At least now with 2.6, this is not so annoying since you can activate plugins in bulk.

Still would be nice if it was fixed though

I’ve now edited the plugin as below (replacing the relevant part)

if (is_home()) {

			echo '
					<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="https://www.myopenid.com/xrds?username=db0.myopenid.com" />';

			$xrdsProviders = get_option('xrds_services');
			if ($provider = current($xrdsProviders)) {
				echo '
					<link rel="openid.server" href="'.$provider['server'].'" />
					<link rel="openid.delegate" href="'.$provider['delegate'].'" />
					<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="'.$provider['delegate'].'" />
					<link rel="openid2.provider" href="'.$provider['server'].'" />';
			}

And it seems to be working fine now

/Ignore

It was the theme after all. Although I had changed it, when I refreshed the “write page” I was getting served a proxy cached version.

A forced refresh from my home revealed the problem resolved

The “Implode” problem has gone away but unfortunately I still cannot make openid authentication work.

If I put the name of the field as openid_url, then it will always try to authenticate (even if the page is not a provider). If I use an extra field for openid auth, then I get spam blocked.

yups! the subscribe option is off by default!

What?

This is indeed a good option, but is there an unsubscribe option? Otherwise this might get annoying…

If you’re talking to me then yes. Someone else created a widget for it

I can confirm that this happens to me as well (site here). Currently I am using the “WordPress Reports Most Active Widget” plugin but it’s not the same
