Anti-spam Reloaded vs WP Discourse

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 – 6.5 PHP 5.6 – 8.2 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.

The WP Discourse plugin acts as an interface between your WordPress site and your Discourse community. Use Discourse for comments: Automatically creates a forum topic for discussion when a new blog post is published. Associates WP author accounts with their respective Discourse accounts. Does not require DiscourseConnect. Replies from the forum discussion can be embedded in the WP blog post. Select which replies to display based on post score and commenter “trust level” — see docs. See it live blog.discourse.org boingboing.net DiscourseConnect The plugin also comes with optional DiscourseConnect functionality which lets you use your WordPress site as the DiscourseConnect provider for your Discourse forum. This will override Discourse’s native (and powerful) login flow and is only recommended for use cases that strictly require such a setup, e.g. a site that is already using WordPress for large scale user management. Authentication from Discourse to WordPress The plugin allows you to use Discourse as an authentication provider for your WordPress site. Note The WP Discourse plugin requires PHP version 5.4.0 and greater. If >=PHP-5.4.0 is not available, the plugin installation will fail. Contact The plugin is being developed by Simon Cossar on behalf of the Discourse team.
