WU – Block Comments: WordPress Plugin zum Blockieren von Kommentaren mit bestimmten Worten

4 Gedanken zu „WU – Block Comments: WordPress Plugin zum Blockieren von Kommentaren mit bestimmten Worten“

1. Thanks for the plug in. I’ve extended it a little to allow regular expressions to be used as blocks. This allows phrases to be attacked not just words and prevents the problem of comments being rejected because part of a word contains a block word.

   Of course a blog owner would need to know regular expression to use the change. But if they do not then are able to continue to block on words only.

   Here’s the modification to the ‚wp_2_block_comments‘ function:

   [...in a for loop ]
   	// Does the needle start with forward slash?
   	// (regular expressions must be enclosed in a delimiter and this uses '/')
   	$substr = strpos($wp_2_needle, '/');
    
   	if ($substr !== false && $substr == 0)
   	{
   		// If so, then this is a regex test
   		$result = preg_match($wp_2_needle, $wp_2_block_comment);
   		if ($result === false || $result == 0)
   			continue;
   	}
   	else
   	// If not, just look for the word
   	if (strpos($wp_2_block_comment, $wp_2_needle) === false)
   		continue;

2. Thanks for the plugin! Helps me dealing with the Gucci, Vuitton and Nike avalanches. 😉

   Perhaps you should mention that it’s possible to limit matches to whole words (and not parts of them like in your example “press” in “Wordpress”). Just add a space before and after the word in the keyword list. Of course, trailing spaces are not very well visible in that list, but it works.

3. This plugin is awesome! Thank you very much! It dramatically reduced the number of spam comments on my blog and I can now identify Akismet false positives much easier.

   However, I noticed that the plugin does not block some spam comments with certain words typical for spam. I have these words both on the Blocklist and on the Blacklist and comments containing these words get through to the spam folder. Maybe they are being sent there before WU – Block Comments has a chance to act? Is it OK to have the same words on the Blocklist as on the Blacklist?

4. Great plugin but there is something wrong with the characters encoding. For example I would like to block all comments with the html formatting: . Unfortunately adding <strong> to the blacklist results in <strong> which does not work…
