In this instance we are taking backups of a site. The sql file is also included in the njt-installer folder in the zip, which is exactly where we want it. Just looking to not store the sql file in addition in the uploads folder, if I’m making any sense 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Pie Calendar - Events Calendar Made Simple] Event CPT: Default to ‘Post is Event’ checked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-cpt-default-to-post-is-event-checked/) * Thread Starter [davedecc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davedecc/) * (@davedecc) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-cpt-default-to-post-is-event-checked/#post-18475576) * Thanks [@apexws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apexws/) ! * Is this something that would work for all future events, or just the current events? Do you happen to have any snippet examples of this? * Beyond my scope, perhaps this would be a nice feature request — when using a CPT to bypass ‘post is event’ checkbox to keep the workflow a little smoother( or a setting to do so).

Yes, I also posted there, though I’m not convinced it’s an issue with wpdiscuz, which relies on the WP core comment system. * We use akismet, cloudflare, and other methods to reduce spam. What is interesting is how these new campaigns involve guessing email addresses to seemingly validate them against gravatar. And these comments look legit to spam filters, so they do get through them. * Mostly I am posting here to see if others are seeing these sort of campaigns on their WP sites, and to help share knowledge from what we have learned about it so far.
