 * Since installing the span-free wordpress plugin no longer receive comments. Usually
   get 8 – 10 approved comments a day, although they are connected to a url. Please
   advise. Thanks.

 * Odds are you can’t see the password field for the plugin on the comment form.
 * Please post all of the code from your original comments.php file to [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/),
   and I will then reply with a link to pastebin with the new code for your comments.
   php file if any changes are required.

 * 1. Make a backup copy of your comments.php file
    2. Go to this link, [http://pastebin.com/wtMEbD0H](http://pastebin.com/wtMEbD0H),
   and use the code in the “RAW Paste Data” section to replace all the code in the
   comments.php file.

 * Used the RAW Paste, but the following appears below the comment field:
 * `You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title
   =""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <del datetime=""> <em
   > <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>`
    You can check it out at [http://www.briefbriefs.net](http://www.briefbriefs.net).
   Is your plugin working? Thanks,

 * Activate the plugin and it will work automatically with the new comments.php 
   code.
 * The HTML tags and attributes can then be controlled from the plugin settings 
   page.

 * Todd,
 * Reactivated your plugin. The text still appears below the comment field. Did 
   you check it? Is your plugin screening comments?
 * Thanks

 * The HTML tags and attributes can then be controlled from the plugin settings 
   page.
 * Turn off the setting that is labeled “Remove HTML from Comments.”
