Spam stopper has been updated to v3.1 – and most of it has been recoded. Here’s the full list of changes:

  • Redone entire code to make it more efficient
  • Admin section added for changing the antispam question
  • Form ID and honeypot trap added to form
  • Fully localized

You can get the plugin from wordpress.org: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-stopper/

To help support spam-stopper you can make a donation (buy me a coffee, or several) or rate it on wordpress.org. Thanks!

    • Closing the Forums

      Just posting to let current users know that I’m closing the forum on Blue-Anvil. This is mainly due to spam-registrations getting out of hand and being a general nuisance. I will be posting good topics as FAQ items within posts if applicable.

      Please note that you can still post and get help for my plugins/themes by posting on the wordpress.org website.

    • Show off your MiniCard!

      Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!

      If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!

    • SexyBookmarks & Tr.im

      Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.

      To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.
