(unticking and then ticking the box, is the only other way to tell commentluv to check) * commentluv cannot detect if someone clicks in this area because your settings are set to use the name value of ‘comment’ * please visit the settings page and change the value of the comment field name to 6a3fd-comment * you can do this by visiting the settings page, expanding the advanced/technical settings area and modifying the name value from ‘comment’ to ‘6a3fd-comment’ * this answer is available on the first page of the commentluv support ticket system homepage [https://commentluv.zendesk.com/entries/82118649-CommentLuv-doesn-t-load-automatically-as-commenters-type](https://commentluv.zendesk.com/entries/82118649-CommentLuv-doesn-t-load-automatically-as-commenters-type) * please use the support ticket system located at [http://commentluv.zendesk.com](http://commentluv.zendesk.com) as listed in all official readme, download page and settings pages for commentluv * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CommentLuv] Getting this error : Error.

(trackbacks aren’t tracked by gasp) * I’ve had numerous reports of users who say they’re being spammed and gasp is not catching it only to find it is not comment spam but actually trackback spam * you can tell it is a trackback if it does not have an email address showing on the comment in your dashboard * [@permasolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/permasolutions/) * is it possible to show screenshots of 300 or 400 spam comments in a day? * even without gasp and commentluv not running, I don’t get that on a very big site with tens of thousands of hits so it appears that it must be something else causing this on your site * — * if this is happening with blogs that upgraded to 3.7.1 from 3.6 then perhaps it is a wordpress thing that is bypassing gasp? * if the same plugin is being used on 3.6 and 3.7.1 and you’re only getting spam on 3.7.1 then the finger is pointing at wordpress * I’m sorry I can’t help more. WordPress is a complex piece of code and literally every blog is different so perhaps something changed in 3.7 that allows spammers to bypass the normal actions that wordpress uses and GASP listens to? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin] SPAM Getting Through](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-getting-through-1/) * Plugin Author [Andy Bailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commentluv/) * (@commentluv) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-getting-through-1/page/2/#post-4159545) * there must be something else going on with your site then because there are literally thousands of blogs with this plugin and they’re all not reporting this so perhaps there is a vulnerability in your theme (like the timthumb vulnerability) or another plugin is putting a back door in * every blog gets spam.. if you let in spam previously then you’re marked as someone who gives backlinks so you’ll get more spam * the plugin helps to prevent spam and detect it, set your settings to send suspicious comments to spam and you wont have to moderate them and eventually the bots will see you don’t give links and make sure you’re using the latest version so comments awaiting moderation don’t show links * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin] GASP Is not blocking SPAM comments anymore.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gasp-is-not-blocking-spam-comments-anymore/) * Plugin Author [Andy Bailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commentluv/) * (@commentluv) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gasp-is-not-blocking-spam-comments-anymore/#post-7789285) * great thanks for letting me know! * (maybe it’s the new function I put in to remove all links from comments that are in moderation. this prevents the spam bots from thinking that they got through because normally “your comment is waiting moderation” comments show links which the spambots think is a successful spam) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin] SPAM Getting Through](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-getting-through-1/) * Plugin Author [Andy Bailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commentluv/) * (@commentluv) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-getting-through-1/#post-4159535) * yes that is the one. use the drop down box to select ‘spam’ and save settings so suspicious comments are sent to spam and you don’t have to moderate them * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[CommentLuv] No Author URL TextBox](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-author-url-textbox/) * [Andy Bailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commentluv/) * (@commentluv) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-author-url-textbox/#post-4277269) * commentluv does not add the url text field. that would be completely controlled by your theme. * check you comments.php file to see if it commented out the entry for the url or perhaps it is using a function in the functions.php * easiest way to check if it is a theme or a plugin is to temporarily change your theme and view a post as a logged out user * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin] SPAM Getting Through](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-getting-through-1/) * Plugin Author [Andy Bailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/commentluv/) * (@commentluv) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-getting-through-1/#post-4159533) * have you tried setting GASP to deny the comment instead of send it to moderation?
