so you have been ok w/out the nuker as well?

Ive just deactivated spaminator and put some keywords in the blacklist, as I was only using the comment moderation section prior to today, and last week I had to uncheck the “Blacklist comments from open and insecure proxies” because a friend of mine wasnt having any success commenting on my site from his job until I unchecked it.

tricky to get the right setup, and as of late it really bothers me that innocent readers have been getting shut down from commenting because I havent been able to configure these latest gizmo™ versions correctly….the false positives were a nitemare…

heya chris, I think I’m gonna give this a wurl, as Ive been plagued with false positives with spam karma and spaminator ever since the official 1.5

Thanks a bunch for the update Chris. I dig the new name as well. Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated.

I approve of the new name. Rowr! :D

clint,

spam karma and spaminator ever since the official 1.5

While both of those projects are great, the built in tools that ship with 1.5 are solid. I have only had one problem with spam since I went to just built in defenses, and that was my fault for not updating my moderation lists.

That is the one thing I wish WP had built in, auto updating of keywords from some central location as Spam Karma does.

That would be shiny.

Excellent update Chris! This is a very handy tool.

Since the latest version of Spam Karma has switched from automatically deleting spam comments to marking them as “spam”, this plug-in just went up in value (big time)! Thanks, Chris!

g.,
Fixed thanks for the catch.

The url in the plugin points to “chrisjdavis.org/index/category/wp-hacks/” which gives a 404.
“chrisjdavis.org/category/wp-hacks/” works ;-)

So, I downloaded and activated the plugin and I am running into a couple problems. First when I do the the individual nuking and hit the “Nuke em!” button and I get the following message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/tdd/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/cjd_delete.php on line 50

Second, when I hit the “Nuke em, Nuke em all” button it just refreshes the screen without removing any of the spam messages.
Could I possibly be running into a php version issue (I am running 4.2.2). Other than not being able to nuke the spam the listing and such looks nice.

First when I do the the individual nuking and hit the “Nuke em!” button and I get the following message: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/tdd/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/cjd_delete.php on line 50

I had this same problem. I modified line 50 to read:

foreach ($_POST['delete_spam'] as $comment) :

Second, when I hit the “Nuke em, Nuke em all” button it just refreshes the screen without removing any of the spam messages.

I also am having this problem but have not been able to fix it.

I also noticed another small bug: On the tab where it says “Spam (50)” (or however many spam messages you might have) the count is wrong after you delete some messages. I’m guessing that the variable gets updated later in the deletion process than this gets displayed.

Great plugin, thanks a log! :)

To make the plugin work in all option I modified line 59 to read:

foreach ($_POST['not_spam'] as $comment) :

an line 66 to read:

switch($_POST['action']) {

Now it works for unspam and nuke all too.

okay, sorry about that… just realised that I had the wrong plugin for what I wanted to do. sorry for your time!

I just tried installing this… as there are no instructions, I assume that I just pop it into the plugins directory, not changing anything. however when I do this, then try to view the plugins page, all the script is broken.

I’m using WP 1.2.1. Am I doing something wrong?

Oh, dude…found a typo…in the Nuker panel, you have two sections; one entitled “Mass Spam Nuke” and the other “Unspamer” which should be “Unspammer”. :)

Thanks for a great plugin, Chris!

Craig,

Are you sure, since I am running 1.5.1 and everything is fine.

Strange, I haven’t seen this and I haven’t heard anyone else have it. You always find bugs in my code!

LOL…well, sorry! I was trying to post my comment, and I kept getting an error, and by the time I actually posted it, I saw too late your suggestion! :p

I just said that!

Chris,

I’m seeing the same problem with 1.5.1 at this point.

Chris,

Just stopped in to #wordpress and got some help from the gang there…turns out it’s an encoding problem - Mac/Win/*nix line endings. Admiral Justin uploaded a re-encoded version for me, then everything was all right in the universe!

Those folks in #wordpress are awesome…just like you, Chris!

This plugin craters the Plugins page in the Admin Panel in WP 1.51.

As usual, trying to deal with spam only serves to suck the enjoyment out of having a site. Makes you wonder why one even bothers to keeps a site up and running.

Chris,
I didn’t even activate the plugin. All I did was drop the file into the plugins folder, and when I visited the Plugins panel it was a huge mess of code. Simply removing the plugin from the folder cured the problems in the panel.

Okay boys you have two options here.

1. Go into the plugin editor, click on the cjd_delete.php link, it will be all kinds of text too,but click and it will load it for editing. Once you have it in the WordPress editor just go ahead and click edit. You don’t have to change anything, and when it reloads everything will be right with the world again.

2. You can download the plugin again from the above link and it should work. I have tested this one and it works fine after you download and install it. And you guys were right, it was borked somehow, I am not sure what the problem was but it is fixed now in the download.

Well there you go, the easiest method would be 1. since all you have to do is have WP write the file back out and it fixes whatever encoding problem was there.

Thanks soteke for the great work!

Thanks for your plugin, it is really useful for me.

Chris I’m afraid this is not working anymore after the recent WordPress upgrade. At least for me anyway. When I hit the nuke em all button, nothing happens and when I try to manually select the messages to be deleted and hit the nuke’em button I get this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home2/shawng77/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cjd_delete.php on line 50

Any ideas?

That is strange Shawn, since I am running 1.6 and the plugin still works fine. I will check a few things and get back to you.

Hey Shawn,

I think the first step is for you to update to the latest release of Spam Nuker. It is currently at version 1.5.3 and you are running 1.5.1. I would have updated for you, but your plugin files are 644, to edit through the admin they need to be 666.

You can download the newest version here try that out and let me know if it fixes your problems.

Indeed Chris. Any luck finding a reason? You can log in and see for yourself if that would help things.

Yep, that did it. Thanks Chris I didn’t even realize 1.5.3 was out and about. There are a couple of display bugs but it may be my resolution though.

[…] Yes, apart from these bad headaches I got since the morning I woke up, things go pretty well these days with Wordpress and Flash. I learnt many new stuff on Flash, e.g. how to create a menu, how to make nice and simple animations and so forth. And as for Wordpress I just added a “Recent posts“-script and days ago I added another plugin that reduced my spam to an amount of spam mails I can live with. It’s called Spam Nuker. Now blogging finally makes fun again. You can see that I’m posting more than ever before. Now what is still annoying a little bit is the “Write Post”-section of Wordpress 2.01 Because mine is always inserting blockquotes or tables and stuff like this which I have delete through the HTML Source Editor first. […]

Thank you very much for the neat plugin :)

Dude, your download link doesn’t work.

Dude, thanks. It works again :)

Does it works on wordpress 2.5.1 ?

Jennifer - I just tested it on my blog (it has Wordpress 2.5.1 installed) and it works like a dream.

Oops! Jennifer, I’m extremely sorry for the misinformation. It doesn’t work on 2.5.1, I just updated today. I thought you were referring to 2.50

Once again, I profusely apologize.
