Worked Brilliant Until WP 6.5.5 Update

This is a great plugin, worked perfectly. But I just updated to 6.5.5, and it immediatly stopped working.

Gulshan, could you please update the plugin.

Simply the Best

by Dan Knauss·1 year ago·1 reply

This is the best ultra-simple (and free) way to stop comment spam, thanks to the method it uses. Alternative effective solutions are more complicated and involve webserver configuration or WAF and CAPTCHA services. Other plugins simply fail to address the root cause of comment spam. This is the one to use.

best and fastest!
