These are spam form submissions, which is what this plugin is for… so we simply want the plugin to do its job * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk] Tons of false negatives with source of https://syndicatedsearch.goog/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tons-of-false-negatives-with-source-of-https-syndicatedsearch-goog/) * Thread Starter [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tons-of-false-negatives-with-source-of-https-syndicatedsearch-goog/#post-18424516) * We need this plugin to work .. it needs to stop spam submissions.

I would look into why you need this much memory to begin with. Maybe segment off some things, or trim some fat. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk] Exception: SFW update folder is not writable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/) * Thread Starter [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/page/2/#post-17161649) * This issue ended up having nothing to do with Cleantalk.

We have a theme that updates then requires a DB update afterwards and this plugin severely hurts performance until that DB is updated, or it is deactivated and reactivated. Simple flush cache option would be helpful as that is an action we could comfortably tell people to perform. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk] Exception: SFW update folder is not writable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/) * Thread Starter [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/page/2/#post-17147717) * ok - This reply was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk] Exception: SFW update folder is not writable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/) * Thread Starter [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/page/2/#post-17139261) * I am afraid that I still receive the exact same error on install. “Unable to create directory uploads/2023/10.

Upon activation a screen loads that says “ Unable to create directory uploads/2023/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” * I then look at the activated plugins and cleantalk is not activated. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk] Exception: SFW update folder is not writable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/) * Thread Starter [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/#post-17130648) * Hello [@katereji](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katereji/) * After a complete deactivation and removal, we attempted to install the version you supplied. We got an error message saying “Unable to create directory uploads/ 2023/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” * Assuming it was talking about wp-content/uploads/2023/10, we attempted creating this folder, but the error still presented itself. I double checked the directory permissions on the wp-content folder, the uploads, folder, the 2023 folder, and the plugins folder… everything looks correct * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk] Exception: SFW update folder is not writable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/) * Thread Starter [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exception-sfw-update-folder-is-not-writable/#post-17127968) * Nothing should be limiting the plugin’s rights… The actions I am doing are being done through an admin account in WordPress. The folder permissions look accurate. I have tried disabling ModSecurity, and disabling the security plugin on the website, but no luck. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Really Simple Security - Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)] No longer really simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-really-simple/) * [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/) * (@keithvfs) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-really-simple/#post-16907473) * Yeah it is bloatware now. Going to be removing it from our standard plugins. They are trying to be a security plugin instead of a **really simple SSL** plugin. Just use one of the many others Security plugins that have been around with a proven track record. As far as forcing HTTPS… it can be easily scripted, or manually added to your htaccess. - This reply was modified 3 years ago by [WebDev1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keithvfs/).
