[Plugin: Digg Digg] Security Issue

Your new update creates security issues for the website. Some of the visitors on my website mentioned that they cannot open the website because the browser gives them this message:
“Security check: looks like you are a SPAM bot. If you think this is an error, please email the site owner.”
I saw the message myself when I tried to open the site on iPad. I also saw that when I tried to use your google plus button. I disabled the plugin and the messages went away.

I do not know what you added to the plugin in the latest version but whatever it is it makes it unusable.

We haven’t added anything that I know of that would cause such a message. Do you have a link to your site at all? It certainly isn’t an error message originating from Digg Digg itself.

Also found another thread mentioning the same error message. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-check-looks-like-you-are-a-spam-bot?replies=7

You might be right. But still deactivating your plugin fixes the problem for me.
It might be caused by a conflict between your new version of the plugin with another plugin.

That’s a possibility. Apologise for the issues, tried to do some digging to find the origin of the error but not found anything yet. What other plugins do you have enabled on the site?

My anti-spam is Akismet.

I also use Visual Form Builder. Is it possible that there is a conflict between the two?

The error is originating from Visual Form Builder. “Test if it’s a known SPAM bot”.
