.: No more spam :)

by Anantha on October 30, 2004

At last I managed to nail the spammer. The wordpress support group helped me nail the problem with a little fix. The problem was that as soon as I posted a message, a spam would appear. But that used to be the only spam that came up. But it was really irritating to find a stupid comment on every log and was driving me nuts. Apparently this is what happened : The spammers had inserted a comment with a post ID that did not exist at the time they did it, but when my post matches the ID, the spam instantly showed up.

TG’s fix solved the problem for me and in case anyone else using WP runs into this problem, here is the fix.

Also I am considering renaming my files and I think it might help to an extent. One of my friends is already using it, and I am going to follow suit.
