FAQ

Submissions are incorrectly treated as spam

1. The problem occasionally occurs right after installation due to caching. In such cases, the necessary JavaScript for proof-of-work isn’t loaded as intended. To resolve this, clear the cache on your webserver (WordPress caching is typically managed by plugins, which offer an option to clear the cache) and in your browser.
2. JavaScript might crash due to incompatibility between this plugin and another one you’re using. If you notice this, please report it to me. I usually address such issues within the same day. Additionally, it’s crucial to ensure that JavaScript is functioning correctly on all your pages, even without this plugin. In most browsers, you can identify JavaScript errors by pressing F12 on your page and navigating to the console. Here, you can observe what’s happening on your page.
3. Generally, I recommend running the plugin in Explicit mode 🎯 as it’s more efficient and avoids compatibility problems. Please refer to the “help” section for this option.

Problems with WooCommerce/ Jetpack activation

If you face problems with the activation of Jetpack this may occur during the handshake-procedure of jetpack. This procedure acts like a bot, when it passes a passphrase from a certain IP adress to an automatically generated form on your site.
In order to get this fixed, you need either to disable the option 🖥️ Apply on REST-API, or to whitelist the respective form that is used to exchange the passphrase.
Usually you need to process the following steps for whitelisting:
1. Check the spam folder for the respective message that has been blocked
2. Copy the site-adress “from_site”
3. Paste the site-adress into the option 📄 Site-Whitelist on the properties site
4. Press save
Usually you need to whitelist two different sites to connect jetpack:
1. To connect the site: your-domnain-without-protocol/?rest_route=/jetpack/v4/verify_registration/
2. To connect your user: your-domnain-without-protocol/?rest_route=/jetpack/v4/remote_authorize/

Problems with activation/ installation of other plugins

If you face problems with other plugins (i.e. during plugin installation/ activation) this may occur during handshake-procedures, or during maintenance of your plugin from the vendor. These procedures usually act like bots, as they pass a code or contents via certain automatically generated forms on your site.
In order to get this fixed you can either disable the option 🖥️ Apply on REST-API, or whitelist the IP address of your vendor, or you can whitelist the page which contains the maintenance form. In order to check whether such a problem occurs you can check the spam folder of this plugin. Here you find the site adress that you can use for whitelisting as “from_site” too
