Ever find a solution? I’m having the same problem.

I’m having the same problem. I run 5 sites off the same account, all using this plugin. They all work except for one site, and I just can’t figure out why that is. No matter what I do it will not auto-update. So far I haven’t found any suggestions or solutions and haven’t heard anything from the plugin author.

Same here… very frustrating.

My guess is that wordpress is working properly, as is WP-SpamFree. Isn’t the point of SpamFree to stop spam in comments by using “a dynamic combo of JavaScript and cookies to weed out the humans from spambots.” When you ping your own site you’re basically creating a comment, right? Can WordPress use either JavaScript or cookies?

My guess is that WordPress is sending out the pingback to our own sites, but WP-SpamFree is blocking it as spam. WP-SF says how many spams it has blocked, is there a log somewhere that gives specifics? This would give us a definitive answer.

I’m having the same problem on my site. I’ve never had any issue with pingbacks until after I started using wp-spamfree. If I deactivate wp-spamfree pingbacks work just fine.

I’m using wp-spamfree version 1.9.6.6 and WordPress version 2.6.2

I am also getting these same errors. Anyone find a solution yet?

I did leave a message for the author, but haven’t heard back. I’m a little surprised that you can only download version 1.0 from the author’s website. I thought since others have downloaded version 1.4 they may know how to fix it.
