You didn’t post your blog address so nobody can actually go and look. Though my first suggestion would be to make sure you didn’t corrupt the file when you transferred it from your Windows box to your Unix box. 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Announce: Self-contained WordPress SpamAssassin Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/announce-self-contained-wordpress-spamassassin-plugin/) * Thread Starter [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/announce-self-contained-wordpress-spamassassin-plugin/#post-125350) * Update again: I’ve updated the plugin to version 0.3, including moderation for suspicious comments and a better internal format which SA likes a lot better. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [SixApart buys LiveJournal](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sixapart-buys-livejournal/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sixapart-buys-livejournal/page/2/#post-126316) * I can’t imagine using LJ, and I’d love suggestions for weaning a few of my friends off it.

If the .htaccess section appears, then it is _not_ writable. Go pull a directory listing on the .htaccess file. If it really is set to 666, it will look something like: * `-rw-rw-rw- 1 xavierroy users 5319 Jan 5 04:55 .htaccess` * If all three `rw`s do not appear, it’s not world writable. On my host, it appears as: * `-rw-rw---- 1 error apache 9678 Jan 5 19:43 .htaccess` * In this case it is not world writable, but it is writable by the web server apache. Which means other users on the same web host can’t screw with it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Spammers of the World, I salute you.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/page/3/#post-124242) * Exactly. The spammers have already gotten around that. That’s how I got hit with so many comment spams last weekend. * Right now I’m using a combination of the SpamAssassin plugin and realtime blackhole lists, along with some fairly strict user agent filtering. And a custom 403 page in case a legitimate user happens to accidentally get blocked. * The blackhole lists let people view the site, but not post comments (WP closes comments/pings entirely if they’re on the blackhole list, and I’ll have this hack out shortly. Of course I said that yesterday, but now that I’m snowed in, it might actually happen.) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Moose Candy Troubles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moose-candy-troubles/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moose-candy-troubles/#post-125169) * Since you haven’t really stated WHAT the problem is, I don’t think too many people( not even NuclearMoose!) will be able to help. Aside from that, you probably have extra spaces or blank lines after the ?> at the end of the file. Take those out. * Or just put it directly into index.php. The catch is it will appear above the first post (and on every page). Mine looks like: *

* (this last line is the start of the loop) * If you really want it to be between the first and second posts, it’ll have to be Moose Candy. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Spam Comment Blocking with Turing # ? do I have a good idea ?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-comment-blocking-with-turing-do-i-have-a-good-idea/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-comment-blocking-with-turing-do-i-have-a-good-idea/#post-125167) * Very true! Not everyone wants to approach the spam problem in the same way, mainly because some approaches can cause inconvenience to their users, or false positive results, or lots of work for the blogger. Having more choices is better so that each person can choose for themselves how to approach the problem. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Does Kitten’s Spaminator check Trackbacks & Pingbacks?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-kittens-spaminator-check-trackbacks-038-pingbacks/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-kittens-spaminator-check-trackbacks-038-pingbacks/#post-125157) * I’m in the middle of writing something to address trackback spam. What I have already would have killed one of the two that were posted in this thread, and it’s already killed one attempt at my site, so I’ll see what I can do about polishing it up and releasing it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Moose Candy Troubles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moose-candy-troubles/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moose-candy-troubles/#post-125152) * Try Moose Candy 1.2.0 at [http://jason.goldsmith.us/wp-plugins/moosecandy.phps](http://jason.goldsmith.us/wp-plugins/moosecandy.phps) it actually works. 🙂 * Oh, and you should definitely _not_ have a call to moosecandy() in the loop. Very strange things will happen which won’t be what you want. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Recent Comments Big Fat Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-comments-big-fat-error/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-comments-big-fat-error/#post-124218) * I don’t have a left join in there at all. You’ve either got a newer version or an older version of what I have…this is what I have now: * `function get_recent_comments($no_comments = 5, $comment_lenth = 5, $before ='

I think I reinstalled it about five or six times, including completely dropping all the tables and starting with a fresh empty database. Never could log in. I finally went to the latest nightly and they’ve been working very well, aside from the occasional upgrade strangeness (what happened to my theme?). But I knew what I was getting in to when I started using nightlies, and it’s definitely not for everyone. You should have a strong grasp of PHP and being self-hosted makes things easier. 🙂 I know it doesn’t _exactly_ solve the problem, but it’s an option. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Spammers of the World, I salute you.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/page/3/#post-124195) * The ones that have been bothering me are actually scraping the forms off my site and reading them, then a couple of hours later, will POST to the same comment ID they just scraped. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Spammers of the World, I salute you.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/page/3/#post-124182) * I know. I tried them all. The problem is they block comments AFTER the spammer has sent their comment and wasted your CPU and bandwidth. My hack closes comments entirely to that IP address (i.e. “Sorry, comments are closed for this item.”) so they can’t even try to post.
