for the last 2 days I'm being bombarded with spam reviews! I just deleted 41 of them this morning and I deleted about 60 of them yesterday. Can someone please give me some advice to STOP this please?
Are you using the old aardvark review system?
We disabled it by default for a reason Its not the best function wise, so for that we have the disqus plugin.
If you are using disqus already, you might want to disable automatic approval from the disqus site interface
Basti It's just like you set it up for me, I've changed nothing other than signing up for recaptcha and adding the keys...oh and adding a different header. So, I really don't know the answer about the aardvark review system. If you disabled it tell me how to make sure it's disabled, I may have overlooked it but I just looked and don't see where I could enable/disable it. Thanks so much for all your answers. D.
I dont even remember that ive set something up for you, sorry. To much on my mind.
If you see a disqus plugin on your plugin list, then you use it, else i enabled the old aardvark system for you ( if it was an upgrade from aardvark )
To disable it, go into sources/details.php
Code:
$reviews_on = 1;
And change the 1 , to 0
Then you could install the disqus plugin, found here on the forum
Sorry Sebastion I should have told my name or Web site so y'all would remember me. I know Mark should remember but I've not emailed you as much over the years.
The Web site name is the Lil Beginnings Miniature Horse & Pony top sites. I used the Aardvark top site for 8 years and upgraded to Visio list the middle of May this year, you installed and set it up for me. Can you fix this to get rid of this problem I'm having? so it will work as intended. D.
I looked in my admin at the plugins available yesterday evening and didn't see that listed. It sounds like it took the place of the reviews function? if so yes please put it in there. If you don't still have the information needed to do this please email me. D.
VisioList ships with basically none, you can pick and choose which ones you like. Installation of plugins is VERY easy, simple upload the zip file via your admin -> plugins manager. In most cases no file edits are needed.
Ok I get that (I think) you are telling me I need to install optional plugins myself..... that's fine I can do that but what I'm getting from the replies here is that the old review system should not be enabled at all. ? so why was it?
It was rather expensive having my topsites upgraded to this list but I don't mind paying what's due. I'm not comfortable going in and changing the sources/details.php and removing the rate.php and fixing what you did.
I'm afraid I'll make a mistake.
