Particularly the stealth options. I haven’t had any spam registrations since I fixed this… ymmv.

Enable stealth test – checked
Block if Javascript unsupported – checked
Session time out – 300
Speed limit – 3
Check DNS Blacklists: – checked

Those options are why I wanted this plugin to work in the first place – spam prevention without a user-required captcha.

What options do you have enabled in the settings?

My pleasure, let me know how it goes.

IAmMarchHare — it looked so promising that I decided it was worth fixing. I took the liberty of updating a few things in the plugin including the database error because I really wanted to use it and the developer seems to have disappeared. If he ever comes back, I’ll be happy to remove my link. Deactivate the current version of the plugin and delete it. Then upload this zip file to install the updated version… and you should be back online.

sabre-1.2.2.2.zip

I’ve updated it a couple times for various things, so I just tacked another .2 onto the end of the version number.

I’ve fixed the MySQL table creation error by removing the deprecated TYPE option.

I’ve also fixed the DNS blacklist issues. The queries worked, but they would return false positives. I replaced zen.spamhaus.org with the two correct servers: sbl.spamhaus.org and xbl.spamhaus.org.

I also updated the gethostbyname logic to prevent false positives. It will only show the banned ip error if one of the proper DNS blacklist servers recognizes the IP address.

I don’t have much time to maintain a plugin, but I did fix what wasn’t working for me — and what most people are complaining about on here. I cannot guarantee that I’ll be able to fix any other issues as I seldom have time to visit the forums.

I took the liberty of updating a few things in the plugin including what I think is causing this error. I’d be surprised if the plugin was actually doing anything for you previously, because it wasn’t able to create the necessary MySQL tables. Hopefully this updated version will allow you to stop spam dead.

Perfect. Thanks, Andrew!

Hi Norcross,

That was checked. I unchecked that box and the WooCommerce orders aren’t in the feed any more. Having the FAQs go to the RSS feed isn’t a big deal for us… so we’ll just leave it that way for now.

Any idea why it’s tossing the WooCommerce orders into the feed?

The site is https://lightmanufacturingsystems.com

Bumping to resolved. I noticed that I wasn’t using upper versus lower case in the widget. Obviously, the widget needs to call the key exactly as it’s originally named.

@choibc

Thank you very much! That took 2 seconds to integrate. Awesome.

As for the lack of nav menus in the first place, not everyone wants to spit into the wind that is standardization. I wanted to integrate P2 into my pre-existing theme (I have a multi-site installation) and got everything modified except for the nav menu.

I guess if you’re doing heavy theme customization, you should be able to add in the right code for page navigation. I hack things to pieces and make it work, but I’ve never actually written my own php code.

Why not make it a checkbox option or something? The theme options seem very minimal… it’s a very powerful tool, but it could really have some more theme options.

Ultimately, I used the “Page Links To” plugin to create navbar pages as if the P2 installation was actually a page of my main site. Worked wonderfully… especially if you want to add P2 capabilities to an existing site.

See thecarrfamily.org/chat for the modified version of P2. Then “Page Links To” redirects all of the P2 navbar items to the main site’s individual pages.

You’d need a multi-site installation and a pretty heft amount of hacking know-how but the end solution worked out perfectly. I’ll be doing this for all of my P2 installations from now on. Thanks again, choibc!!

Thanks, Andrea.

I’m sure I’m not the first one to run into this. So hopefully people can learn from my OCD tendencies. I always delete the themes I’m not using… so TwentyTen wasn’t available. Makes perfect sense now.

Cheers!

Umm… maybe choosing a Site Theme would be a good option, huh? I guess I figured it out. It won’t show you any content unless you pick a theme for the sub-site. Duh.

Hey everybody, I’ve read through this whole thread and feel as though I’m onto something similar but don’t know exactly what.

I’ve verified that the database wp_2_whatever is being written, but I don’t see any content when I try to go to the website.

I don’t think this is the same issue that Dan was having because he couldn’t see the new database tables… right?

I can, and I can get into the dashboard for the new site I just created… but going to thecarrfamily.org/joshandlaura/ displays nothing. The main site is working great and all of the MS admin options appear to work correctly, but it won’t display anything when trying to view the new sites.

.htaccess

Also the code I added to wp-config.php

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'thecarrfamily.org' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

I also added the define auth salt stuff that wordpress suggested I use… but assume that it’s not a good idea to post here since it said it was for security purposes.

Does this sound like I’m missing something in my configuration, code? I’m not sure where to go at this point.

Thanks!
