I couldn't get back into the dashboard to even disable the math comments spam pluggin. I was totally screwed but luckily I found a solution after almost bursting into tears. I would advise people against this alleged fix. scott.r.lindsey on "[Plugin: Math Comment Spam Protection] A fix for error message when correct answer is given" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/276471#post-1091774 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:23:32 +0000 scott.r.lindsey 1091774@http://wordpress.org/support/ I discovered that the encryption method for the challenge mixes in the IP address of the server. That's fine most of the time, but if you are on some sort of load balanced server farm the box that provides the challenge may be different than the one that parses the submission, and people who are trying to post on your blog get an incorrect error message. The fix is trivial -- just comment out line 160 of math-comment-spam-protection.classes.php. It doesn't do anything anyway. This: <code> $inputstring .= getenv('SERVER_ADDR');</code> becomes: <code>// $inputstring .= getenv('SERVER_ADDR');</code> topcash on "it doesn't work." http://wordpress.org/support/topic/158215#post-989106 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 18:56:02 +0000 topcash 989106@http://wordpress.org/support/ same problem here, I have 2.7 wordpress and this plugin will not work. Every time I enter the correct number the plugin still gives me the same error that the number is in correct. t3ch33 on "it doesn't work." http://wordpress.org/support/topic/158215#post-966840 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:59:03 +0000 t3ch33 966840@http://wordpress.org/support/ I downloaded this in May and it works. Maybe they updated it since your install or you did install it wrong. jaffermaniar on "[Plugin: Math Comment Spam Protection] This plugin has been infiltrated" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/167247#post-727966 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:39:13 +0000 jaffermaniar 727966@http://wordpress.org/support/ I know that you are talking about Rok and thank you for your reply. I am aware of Trackback and Pingbacks but I assure you that the amount of spam I mentioned is actually comment spam ! I hope the plugin-developer is working on someway to make it more fortified. In the meanwhile, I've installed "Simple CAPTCHA" by zorex which is providing some much needed relief !

If you're getting spam in form of "PBs & TBs", it cann't help, you've to install some other plugins to stop this form of spamming. You can install Simple Trackback Validation plugin to stops TBs. jaffermaniar on "[Plugin: Math Comment Spam Protection] This plugin has been infiltrated" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/167247#post-727844 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 03:04:02 +0000 jaffermaniar 727844@http://wordpress.org/support/ I installed this plugin and loved it the first couple of days.

The field correctly appears when users want to leave a comment, but even when the correct number is typed in users are told "Error: You have entered the wrong sum in the spam protection field"
