Hi Jessy,
Glad to help:
“download, install, activate… but no Bots blocked after an hour. Okay maybe there are no bad bots…”
That’s good thing. And if you have doubts, there are testing steps in the documentation.
“Check the code from blog and see no link. Is it normal, or i must see the hidden blackhole link in the sourcecode of my blog?”
If there is no blackhole link, you should check your theme for wp_footer(), as explained in the docs. See the docs for complete details.
First of all… thanks 😉
Possible to insert the link from hand? I delete my wp_footer for better performance but i see the link is random. Is there a snippet that i can insert link from hand without wp_footer?
This might work, try adding the following snippet to your footer.php, or wherever you want to display the link:
<?php if (function_exists('blackhole_trigger')) blackhole_trigger(); ?>
Let me know how it goes and I will include this in the readme.txt.
Works great. Many Thanks for the Help.
Is the Link random or how do you handle it? Because Bots can learn many things and register this Blackhole in future.
Two small Questions off topic please… Works youre the BBQ Pro Plugin without wp_head and wp_footer too or not? Actually i will buy it, but only when it work without wp_head and wp_footer because i delete this tags for better Performance. And other thing… brings BBQ the same Function like the 6G Firewall, or i must combine togehter? Sorry for off topic, but dont want to create another post.
And for this… works great. And now i wait to block some Bots 😉
Glad to hear it works, will update the documentation to let others know (when theme is missing wp_footer hook).
Yes the link src is random because of the nonce value, which is generated by WP.
Yes, BBQ Pro works whether or not wp_head or wp_footer is included in the theme. It is not dependent on either of these hooks.
BBQ Pro includes much of 6G, so you don’t need both, but they do work great together if you want to add the extra layer of protection.
Okay thanks for great support for this free plugin. Awesome! Maybe i buy BBQ soon.
Awesome Jessy, that would be great. And if you like the plugin and the free support, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating:
