Block Specific Spam Woo Orders

This plugin prevents a specific set of WooCommerce fake/spam orders. Simply install and activate the plugin; there are no settings or tweaks to be made unless you want to add your own filters. The plugin extends WooCommerce’s built-in checkout validations to check for a specific set of known spam email accounts and names. If triggered, the spam bot simply cannot checkout and importantly does not get to the account creation stage. The names/emails it checks for would only be used by spam bots, so there is no need to worry about false positives. If you’ve found this plugin useful, you can support my work by buying me a coffee at: Buy Me a Coffee. How to Use Custom Filters Starting from plugin version 0.77, you can extend the list of blocked email domains and blocked customer names using custom filters. Available Filters: BSSO_extra_domains: Add custom email domains to block during the checkout process. BSSO_extra_names: Add custom first names to block during the checkout process. Example Usage To use these filters, add code to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin. 1. Blocking Additional Email Domains If you want to block additional email domains like exampledomain.com and spamdomain.net, use the BSSO_extra_domains filter. Domains can be supplied with or without a leading @. Code Example: add_filter('BSSO_extra_domains', function () { return ['exampledomain.com', 'spamdomain.net']; }); 2. Blocking Additional First Names If you want to block additional first names like spambot and faker, use the BSSO_extra_names filter. Code Example: add_filter('BSSO_extra_names', function () { return ['spambot', 'faker']; }); Complete Example Here’s how you might use both filters together: Code Example: add_filter('BSSO_extra_domains', function () { return ['exampledomain.com', 'spamdomain.net']; }); add_filter('BSSO_extra_names', function () { return ['spambot', 'faker']; });

Disable Trackbacks

When it comes to spam and pingbacks/trackbacks, the vast majority by far is via trackbacks rather than pingbacks. Very, very few people use trackbacks for legitimate uses anymore (I’ve gotten less than 5 in the last 8 months) as WordPress, etc. all use pingbacks now as their primary ping method. I had already installed Cookies For Comments which successfully stops most spam comments but I still had to deal with the tons of trackback spam. So, I wrote this plugin. It will disable new trackbacks across your site, both legitimate and spam. However since very few people use trackbacks legitimately, this combined with Cookies For Comments should cut your spam down to next to zero. Why should I use this plugin over one of those trackback validator plugins? Most non-Akismet style anti-trackback spam plugins work by connecting to the URL that sent the trackback and looking for a link to your blog. The problem with this is that many spammers actually post links to your blog in their spam posts rendering those types of plugins useless. Even those that check the IP address to make sure it matches are beaten by spam blogs (aka splogs). In the end it’s up to you what to use for anti-spam, but I personally use Cookies For Comments, this plugin, and then Akismet to catch anything that makes it through.
