It's almost like a camera shutter flash or a blinking eye. Eventually, the page loads. But, the effect is quite disconcerting. </p> <p>The CSS file that Cookies for Comments loads looks like this:</p> <p>I get the problem whether I am logged into WP or now. </p> <p>However, if I am logged in with WP Super Cache enabled, the CSS file that Cookies for Comments loads looks like this:</p> <pre><code>/* Page generated by Cookies for Comments at <a href="http://ocaoimh.ie/cookies-for-comments/" rel="nofollow">http://ocaoimh.ie/cookies-for-comments/</a> */ &lt;!-- WP Super Cache did not cache this page because you are logged in and &quot;Don&#39;t cache pages for logged in users&quot; is enabled. --&gt;</code></pre> <p>I'll bet those comments are not valid. However, like I said, I see this problem in Safari whether or not I am logged in.</p> <p>Any ideas? Thanks.<br /> I wonder if this is causing it?</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cookies-for-comments/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cookies-for-comments/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/312233#post-1217784 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:54:26 +0000 samboll 1217784@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>you are so welcome </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/312233#post-1217323 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:49:27 +0000 sallam 1217323@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Samboll,<br /> Thanks sooo much. Cookies for comments is a great plugin.<br /> I was getting a spam comment each single minute.

But today I got 180 comments, each with about 20 links. The weird thing is that those comments listed in spam section, with each showing an email address and a website, and they all come from one IP address": 94.102.49.76</p> <p>How can people type their email addresses and websites when the fields are not there? Is that some kind of spam script that submits those comments without using the comment form at all?</p> <p>And if so, how can I prevent such scripts from storming my blog with spam comments? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/302536#post-1203948 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:13:10 +0000 donncha 1203948@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Tranny - check your browser preferences or use Google to find out. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/302536#post-1183963 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:44:37 +0000 Tranny 1183963@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have added the cookie value generated by the script after activation.

I understand the difference between the two. The page you sent says:</p> <p>"Since this feature is exclusive to MU, regular WordPress plugins placed in this folder may or may not work."</p> <p>So, I am asking, does Cookies for Comments work when placed in mu-plugins? </p> <p>In my own testing since my original post, I've found it does not work. This would mean that it has to be activated for all blogs. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303117#post-1183330 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:25:49 +0000 batrachoid 1183330@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>see: <a href="http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/the-mu-plugins-folder/" rel="nofollow">http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/the-mu-plugins-folder/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303117#post-1183317 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:16:44 +0000 Klark123 1183317@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>When installing on WPMU, should cookies for comments go in plugins folder or mu-plugins?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/302267#post-1181591 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 08:25:29 +0000 donncha 1181591@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I loaded your stylesheet above and unfortunately it didn't set a cookie on my machine. You should edit the plugin and find the setcookie() command. Add a mail() or error_log() before that command just to verify that it's being called. You should also check your error log to see if anything's there. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/302536#post-1181586 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 08:13:48 +0000 donncha 1181586@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Sorry it's not working for you but it works on two of my blogs.</p> <p>Is the cookie being set? Do you have the right cookie value in your rewrite rules? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/302536#post-1181331 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:03:38 +0000 Tranny 1181331@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Wondering if the developer is gonna release an update that will work with WP 2.8.4?

I've browsed the other discussions on the topic, and here's where I'm at:</p> <p>1) The 32-digit stylesheet is appearing in the source code. When I load the stylesheet manually into the browser, it shows blank.</p> <p>2) However, when I check my cookies, I am not seeing a corresponding 32-digit cookie having been set. </p> <p>In the source code I see this:<br /> <code>&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;http://www.zombiephiles.com/3ad9ac3bc26159d7498579acd530eee1.css?t=1719086234&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;screen&quot; /&gt;</code></p> <p>However, the only cookies I see are comment_author_email and comment_author (which shows as [Blocked by CFC] after I've tried to test comments).</p> <p>I've tried deactivating the plugin and deleting it, then re-uploading the plugin and reactivating; however, this doesn't seem to be doing the trick.</p> <p>I'd love to get CFC working again, since I get 100+ comments slipping past Akismet monthly that CFC stops; however, it's also stopping ALL other comments (except trackbacks) since the cookie isn't being set. </p> <p>On the off-chance that there's a conflict with another plugin that I'm running, I'm including the current plugin list. Not all plugins are currently up-to-date.</p> <blockquote><p>Add to Any: Share/Bookmark/Email Button - .9.9.3<br /> Akismet - 2.2.6<br /> All in One SEO Pack - 1.5.7<br /> Cookies for Comments - 0.5.1<br /> Executable PHP widget - 1.2<br /> Google Analytics - 2.5<br /> Google XML Sitemaps - 3.1.4<br /> Kimili Flash Embed - 2.0.1<br /> Popularity Contest - 2.0b2<br /> SEO Title Tag - 2.3.3<br /> Twitter Tools - 1.6<br /> User Photo - 0.9.4<br /> Viper's Video Quicktags - 6.1.20<br /> WP-Polls - 2.40<br /> WP-Polls Widget - 2.40<br /> WP Cache Inspect - 0.8.2<br /> WPG2 - 3.0.7<br /> WP Super Cache - 0.9.4.3</p></blockquote> <p>Offhand, I don't know which of those would be causing problems with CFC, except possibly WP Super Cache, but that's a commonly used plugin so I'm sure we would already have heard of incompatibilities with yours.</p> <p>Any thoughts on how I can find some more information about the problem? Are there DB tables that I can drop to "reset" the plugin, or is that accomplished by deactivating it? I'm not entirely a novice, but I'm not entirely an expert either; however, I'm good with instructions.</p> <p>Eagerly looking forward to hearing back from you about this issue. Thanks, as always! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267085#post-1062278 Fri, 01 May 2009 22:40:13 +0000 whittet 1062278@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I am using SSL via FORCE_SSL_ADMIN and HTTP Authentication.

A the same time i changed WordPress's discussion options to allow comments by default instead of moderating, because i figured this plugin should take care of that.</p> <p>But i've had a few comments tagged as Blocked by CFC land as approved comments on posts. What's more, at least two of them have been link dump comments that should have been blocked by WP's built-in More than X links rule. I'm not sure who's to blame there. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/244865#post-991260 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:30:41 +0000 donncha 991260@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Latest version in trunk/development version should work better in MU. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/244865#post-989611 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:35:33 +0000 webmaestro 989611@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>D'oh!
