WP-SuperCache vs. Mailchimp

    I finally was able to fix using hack issue between WP-SC and Mailchimp with famous message “Cheating huh?”

    case ‘mc_submit_signup_form’:
    // Validate nonce

    if (!wp_verify_nonce($_POST[‘_mc_submit_signup_form_nonce’], ‘mc_submit_signup_form’)) {
    wp_die(‘Cheatin’ huh?’);
    }

    // Attempt the signup
    mailchimpSF_signup_submit();

    If i disable lines with wp_verify_nonce i can use MC and WP-SC with file cache over .htaccess

    Mine question is – what can be an drawback here? I know what is nonce and risk to spammers to abuse this. But if i compare this to previous “cheatin huh?” message this is acceptable.

    Hey mobillo,

    Thanks for getting in touch. Disabling those lines is certainly worth trying if the results seem acceptable to you, though as you said it may open up the opportunity for spamming of the signup form. As long as you know the downsides, it’s ok to try edits to the plugin like this, though major edits aren’t supported. That said, it’s also important to note that manual edits like this could be overwritten when the plugin updates, so any such changes should be saved elsewhere just in case.

    If we can help with other questions, please let us know!
