Anti-spam Reloaded

This is fork of successful Anti-spam plugin v5.5 written by webvitalii, for more info visit GitHub Fork. From version 5.6 maintained by kudlav. GitHub Anti-spam Reloaded plugin blocks 100% of automatic spam messages in comments section and also blocks all trackbacks.No captcha required. Plugin is simple and easy to use: just install it and it just works. Blocked comments can be stored in the Spam area and converted to regular comments if needed. Anti-spam Reloaded plugin is GDPR compliant and does not store any other user data except of the behaviour mentioned above. Plugin blocks spam only in comments section.. Plugin does not block manual spam (submitted by spammers manually via browser). Compatibility All modern browsers and IE11+ are supported. Anti-spam Reloaded plugin works with disabled JavaScript. Users with disabled JavaScript should manually fill current year before submitting the comment. Server compatibility: WordPress 3.3 – 7.0 PHP 5.6 – 8.4 Doesn’t use jQuery Plugin is incompatible with: Disqus Jetpack Comments AJAX Comment Form bbPress If site has caching plugin enabled and cache is not cleared or if theme does not use ‘comment_form’ action and there is no plugin inputs in comments form – plugin tries to add hidden fields automatically using JavaScript. How does it work? The blocking algorithm is based on 2 methods: ‘invisible js-captcha’ and ‘invisible input trap’ (aka honeypot technique). ‘invisible js-captcha’ The ‘invisible js-captcha’ method is based on fact that bots does not have JavaScript on their user-agents. Extra hidden field is added to comments form. It is the question about the current year. If the user visits site, than this field is answered automatically with JavaScript, is hidden by JavaScript and CSS and invisible for the user. If the spammer will fill year-field incorrectly – the comment will be blocked because it is spam. ‘invisible input trap’ The ‘invisible input trap’ method is based on fact that almost all the bots will fill inputs with name ’email’ or ‘url’. Extra hidden field is added to comments form. This field is hidden for the user and user will not fill it. But this field is visible for the spammer. If the spammer will fill this trap-field with anything – the comment will be blocked because it is spam.

CS Post Comment Reactions

CS Post Comment Reactions transforms the standard WordPress comment section into a fully social, interactive experience — no page reloads, no third-party services. Core Features One-Button Cycling Reactions A single button cycles through three states: neutral → 👍 Liked → 👎 Disliked → neutral. Counts update live via AJAX without refreshing the page. Media-First Comments Every comment must include at least one image. A floating 📎 icon at the bottom-right corner of the comment textarea lets commenters attach files instantly — or drag and drop directly onto the textarea. Supported Formats JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP. Optional MP4 video. All types and the maximum file size are configurable. Works With Any Theme Hooks into WordPress’s native comment_text filter and comment_form action — no template overrides, no shortcodes. Nested / Threaded Comments Fully compatible with WordPress’s built-in wp_list_comments() at any nesting depth. Guest Reactions Allow logged-out visitors to react. Guest identity is tracked via a localStorage UUID mirrored to a cookie, with an IP-address fallback. Rate Limiting Prevents reaction spam: 10 reactions per user / IP per 5 minutes, enforced server-side using WordPress transients. Admin Settings Panel Full settings page at Settings → Comment Reactions, covering features, button labels, icons, upload rules, comment sort order, and a one-click reaction data reset. Includes a live statistics widget. Security First Nonce verification on every AJAX request and every form submission. All input sanitised; all output escaped. Upload MIME type and size validation server-side. Ownership check prevents foreign attachment IDs from being submitted. Translation Ready All strings use the cs-post-comment-reactions text domain. Requirements WordPress 5.8 or higher PHP 7.4 or higher Privacy Policy This plugin does not transmit any data to external servers or third parties. For logged-in users, reactions are stored against their WordPress user ID in a local database table. For guest users (when enabled), a randomly-generated identifier is stored in the visitor’s browser (localStorage and a cookie) and optionally their IP address is recorded in the local database solely to prevent duplicate reactions. All data is removed upon plugin uninstallation or by using the Reset All Reactions function. Site administrators are responsible for disclosing this data storage in their own Privacy Policy if required by applicable law (e.g. GDPR).
