sproke

Okay, well this is all well and good you guys. It’s great to get a debate going about all of this. However this does not answer my question of how do I stop friends from being made into ‘bad spammers’

Yes, I am using WP 1.2.1, and No, I cannot up grade to 1.5 at the moment because I have no idea how to work phpmyadmin, and can’t for the life of me find any material to help me make it work (I can’t even loggon).

Yes, I am using SK 1.20alpha, though it was very, very difficult to find because everything was pointing to SK2!! lol. Damn new buzzes (sarcastic).

Yes, I have tried resetting my blacklist, several times (if you’ve read this whole thread, you would see that this has been suggested before).

So I’m at a loose end. My hair is falling out. My pimples are coming up all over the place because of stress. Please, someone please throw me a bone here. What should I do?

Okay, now it’s doing something really crazy.

I have no normal Spam, and no Trackback spam, which is GREAT!

But, it is not letting any of my friends through, and telling me that they’ve been moderated or eaten. But then, I go to the comments section, where you can veiw and delete them, and the comments are sitting there, happy as larry. They have not been deleted. BUT they are not showing up under the posts. They’re just sitting in the comments page.

And also, what’s the deal with the ‘blacklist maintence’ part? It has all of my friends IP’s there, with little tick boxes beside them, with this message that says

“These entries were automatically added to the blacklist, please edit as necessary, uncheck the ones you do not want to keep and submit the form to make the ban permanent”

What does this mean? Do I uncheck them so that they do not go into the black list, or do I uncheck them so that they do go into the blacklist? This message worded very badly! *spanks SKcreators hand*

I don’t have phpmyadmin installed. But I sorted it out… I had to log in as admin, not my nickname! do’h!

ps, I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would finish it so other people looking it up could see what happened.

using wp 1.2.1

Kay, I’ve upgraded to 1.20alpha now, but there still seems to be a problem. I’m gonna have a fiddle with things, hopfully I can fix them.

Everytime I try to comment when I’m not logged into my WP, it comes up as ‘No Input Specified’ when I post it. I am soooo not happy.

And my dumb hosting server can’t install myphpadmin properly, so I can’t even access the damn thing to backup and upgrade.

Blogging is so difficult these days ??

Hey everyone. I’ve now encouted a new problem. SK seems to be blocking out all of my friends, but letting spam in! I’m so upset, because I don’t know why it’s not working! Can someone please help? I don’t want to turn off commenting, but at this rate, I’m going to have to. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks, I pushed the ‘reset’ button, and this is what came up:

” Could not delete, used ‘truncate’.
Updating Blacklist Table Structure.
Emptied Blacklist. Deleted: 0 entry”

Is that what’s meant to happen?

Also, I tried to “remove IP ban” of my friends IP, and it said that the IP wasn’t in the list… is there anyway that I can tell it to accept certain IPS?

Thanks for your help!

I’m having the same problem… most of my friends don’t bother commenting anymore because they just keep getting blocked, or it goes to the moderator bit, and I’m not geting any notification that there are comments to be moderated. Did anyone come up with some solutions to this?

don’t worry, found this link: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic.php?id=20410#post-116078

But I still can’t get them to work.. so won’t worry about it for now! (unless someone can tell my why links cant find the pages)

I got it all sorted cheers gang! Was due to my div tags. Thanks all!

I’m trying to change my permalinks to the year/month/day/postname format. I’ve got the stuff I have to put in my .htaccess but wordpress tells me there is no such file. What do I do now?! Please help! Thanks!

Well that was dumb, because the version was right at the bottom! Talk about blind! Cheers NuclearMoose. I’m using v 1.2.1. Do I need to update?

Have you got a url for the runphp plugin TG? I’ve done a search but can’t seem to find it. Cheers heaps everybody!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh, the other reason I wanted to do a plugin as opposed to a ‘gut’ is because I still wanted to be able to edit the index.php file, and all the static pages would change too. Means I don’t have to trawl through all my statics to change one little thing every time I change something! Also makes it better if I want to change the template etc.

I tried that tutorial, but I didn’t really want to get into doing it myself… I do prefer plugins (coz I’m lazy, and that’s what they’re there for right?)

Yeah I think I’m using that, or WP 1.3 mingus, but how do I find out? I’ve been trying to find out all morning!

Thanks for the info though Jinsan!

FANTASTIC!! Thank you ever so much!! *hugs* Now I knwo where to look to play around with the formatting. CHEERS!!
