Hi @surreystreeter,

You can add customise the code from this page: https://artists.bandsintown.com/support/blog/install-events-widget and add as HTML code on your website. Plugins is not working for me. So, I solved with this page.

Best of luck!

Hi @shimist

Thanks for the update! I am glad the code is working now. As you mentioned you want to filter along with www as well, here is the modified code for PHP based solution.

function block_links_in_comments($commentdata) {
    if (current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        return $commentdata;
    }

    // Prevent comments that contains https://, http:// or www
    if (preg_match('/(https?:\/\/|www\.)[^\s]+/', $commentdata['comment_content'])) {
        wp_die(__('Posting links in comments is not allowed.', 'text-domain'));
    }

    return $commentdata;
}
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'block_links_in_comments');

Alternative solution:

But as you mentioned you want to display the alert message in a splash screen. Then you can try this second method that will display the error message in splash screen. But this method requires a little bit of JavaScript.

You can create a folder called js (if it doesn’t already exist) in your theme directory, and inside this folder, create a file called custom-comment-block.js. Then, in your functions.php file, add the following code to enqueue the JavaScript file:

function add_custom_comment_script() {
    if (is_singular() && comments_open()) {
        wp_enqueue_script(
            'custom-comment-block',
            get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-comment-block.js',
            ['jquery'],
            null,
            true
        );
    }
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_custom_comment_script');

After enqueuing the file, we need to add the jQuery code that will help us displaying the error message in a splash screen or alert box.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('#commentform').on('submit', function (e) {
        var commentContent = $('#comment').val();
        var regex = /(https?:\/\/|www\.)[^\s]+/;

        if (regex.test(commentContent)) {
            e.preventDefault();
            alert('Posting links in comments is not allowed.');
        }
    });
});

Note: Use either method; there’s no need to implement both.

I hope this will help! Let me know if you need further assistance.

Best of luck!

Hi @shimist

Thanks for reaching out! You can use the preprocess_comment filter, which will allow you to inspect and modify the comment data before it’s saved.

function block_links_in_comments($commentdata) {
    if (current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        return $commentdata;
    }

    // Check if the comment contains a link
    if (preg_match('/https?:\/\/[^\s]+/', $commentdata['comment_content'])) {
          wp_die(__('Posting links in comments is not allowed.', 'text-domain'));
    }

    return $commentdata;
}
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'block_links_in_comments');

Using the current_user_can(‘manage_options’) you can checks if the commenter is an admin. If it’s admin user, they can post links.

Hi @vaporgenie

I understand how frustrating it is to experience downtime on a website. Since this issue happened after installing a plugin, I can help you fix it quickly.

As you cannot access the WordPress dashboard right now, I suggest using cPanel or FTP to access your WordPress files. Go to the File Manager and open the public_html folder. Find the folder for your website and open it. Inside that folder, open the wp-content folder, then look for the plugins folder. Right-click on the plugins folder and rename it to something like plugins_old. This will deactivate all the plugins. For recovering using FTP, check this guideline.

You can then access to your WordPress dashboard and activate all the plugins except the plugin causing errors.

Please let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi @grubisa13

I’m sorry to hear that you’re still experiencing issues with a slow editor. I set up a demo website to test the editor’s performance, and it appeared to work efficiently and quickly.

Here you can check the video: https://share.cleanshot.com/2PcNqLKt

Since the issue persists, here are a few things I’d like you to try:

1. Deactivate Gutenberg Plugin: If you’re using the Gutenberg plugin, try disabling it and using the built-in WordPress editor to see if that improves performance.
2. Browser Performance: Ensure your browser is up to date and not overloaded with extensions that could slow down performance. Try using incognito mode or a clean browser install to see if there are any extensions causing the issue.
3. Hosting Provider: Ensure your hosting provider offers sufficient resources needed for smooth WordPress performance. You can test the same setup on different servers and compare the performance to determine whether your hosting is causing the slowdown.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!
