Another Liar Claims Free Version
by Russell·6 years ago·1 reply
This plugin does not nothing unless you buy it, near $100 bucks a year. Another liar claiming free. It’s only a 30 day trial and you must sign up now to even scan anything much less detection and removal. Too bad there is no zero rating.
Amazing Anti-Spam – Thank you!
by UN_Rick·6 years ago
Thank you for providing this plugin.
With Smart Protection > Anti-Bot, Anti-Spam, and Brute Force Protection enabled spam has dropped by about 95% across dozens of sites. Better results than any other plugin I’ve tried (and I’ve tried many).
I’m amazed this plugin doesn’t have a million active installations. Best kept secret on WordPress.
*Note, be careful with the hide function – it’s a nice feature but can cause problems on some sites and is not necessary if all you want is the anti-spam functions.
