I installed this the other day, and it’s fabulous. I’m getting more comments than I was with the often faulty, always irritating captcha software I was using before. Just one thing, though. People who use AOL’s browser are getting an error when they try to post: Invalid data. Please go back and try again. Any thoughts I can pass along to them, or are they SOL?

Stephen,

I bet you are running WP 2.5
I had captcha free running on 2.3.?
After upgrading to 2.5 i had the same as you. I gues captcha-free doesnt work on 2.5

Stephen,
You may have uploaded the captcha-free.php file to a sub-directory of your plugins folder. Please upload captcha-free.php directly to /wp-content/plugins folder. Let me know if this works for you.

Hi There,

I installed the plugin and noticed that my comment spam levels dropped to zero. This is great! However, I tried to post a comment on one of my posts, in response to some elses comment, and noticed that the form would not sumbit. When I clicked on the “Post Comment” button, it turned into a “Please wait” and then just stopped. The comment never got posted. I tried several times with the same result. When I de-activated the plugin I could post comments again.

Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Thanks,
Stephen

Hi,

I had not uploaded the .php file right into the plugin directory. Ooops! IT works now and it’s a beauty! Thank you soooooo much!

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for letting me know. Can you enable the plugin on your blog for a little while so I can see what’s going on?

Hi there, I’d love to use your plugin but unfortunately it stopped all comments from comming in. Once the user clicks “submit comment” it says “please wait…” and nothing happens. The theme we are using is wp-magazine.com

thanks!

oh thx 4 plugin

Hi!

Your plugin is very promising, but it doesnt work together with Better Comments Manager.

Could do you make your plugin compatible with it? (maybe make some check about if the user is logged, and if logged no need to make hash check).

Not true, in fact I first saw WP-SpamFree after I had completed the plugin and was writing a description (not very good at documentation, I was looking what other similar plugins had written). After reading WP-SpamFree’s feature list I couldn’t write mine another way since both plugins essentially offer the same advantages. But you are right, that’s a terrible thing to do in the age of DMCA (though I am not a US citizen ) and I’ll reword my feature list in the next update.

The idea is not really the same either. My plugin uses time-based hash (generated on the server side) and JavaScript (AJAX) while WP-SpamFree uses JavaScript and cookies. If you look at the code I am sure you’ll find no similarities there either.

Anyways, thanks for looking at my plugin and I hope you’ll still give it a try. Criticism (constructive or otherwise) is always welcome .
