FAQ

Does Antispam Bee prevents spam registrations or protects form plugins?

Antispam Bee works best with default WordPress comments. It does not help to protect form plugins and does not prevent spam registrations. Hopefully we can provide better hooks for third party plugins to use Antispam Bee to fill this gap in the forthcoming new major version.

Werkt Antispam Bee met Jetpack, wpDisqus Comments en andere reactie plugins?

Antispam Bee works best with default WordPress comments. It is not compatible with Jetpack, wpDiscuz or Disqus Comments as those plugins load a new comment form within an iframe. Thus Antispam Bee can not access the comment form directly.

Does Antispam Bee work with AJAX comment plugins or similar theme features?

Whether Antispam Bee works with a comment form submitted via AJAX depends on how the AJAX request is made. If the request goes to the file that usually also receives the comments, Antispam Bee could work with it out of the box (the WP Ajaxify Comments plugin does this, for example).

If the comments are sent to the admin-ajax.php, the antispam_bee_disallow_ajax_calls filter must be used to run ASB for requests to that file as well. If the script does not send all form data to the file, but only some selected ones, further customization is probably necessary, as exemplified in this post by Torsten Landsiedel (in German).

Does Antispam Bee store any private user data, and is it compliant with GDPR?

Antispam Bee is developed in Europe. You might have heard we can be a bit nitpicky over here when it comes to privacy. The plugin does not save private user data and is 100% compliant with GDPR.

Will I have to edit any theme templates to get Antispam Bee to work?

No, the plugin works as is. You may want to configure your favorite settings, though.

Werkt Antispam Bee met verkorte IP’s?

Generally yes. However, commissioning the Antispam Bee plugin for canceled or shortened IP addresses in comment metadata is not recommended. Because the name and the e-mail address of the comments are not unique, an IP address is the only reliable measure. The more complete the stored IP addresses, the more reliable the assignment or detection of spam.

How can I submit undetected spam?

If the antispam plugin has passed some spam comments, these comments can be reported for analysis. A Google table was created for this purpose.

Antispam Bee met Varnish?

If WordPress is operated with Apache + Varnish, the actual IP address of the visitors does not appear in WordPress. Accordingly the Antispam-Plugin lacks the base for the correct functionality. An adaptation in the Varnish configuration file /etc/varnish/default.vcl provides a remedy and forwards the original (not from Apache) IP address in the HTTP header X-Forwarded-For:

if (req.restarts == 0) {
set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = client.ip;
}

Zijn er betaalde diensten of beperkingen?

Nee, Antispam Bee blijft voor altijd gratis, zowel voor privé als commerciële projecten. Je mag het op zoveel sites gebruiken als je wilt. Er is geen limiet verbonden aan de hoeveelheid sites waar je de plugin op mag gebruiken.

I've tested this plugin and seems to working very well. Most spam comments are gone, some of them (just a little) are able to avoid spam filters. There is something need to be fixed and I'm already posted in support forum. I hope that it will be fixed soon.

Granted, the comment functionality is not being used that much on my websites, however, when it is, legit comments are being regarded as legit, and obvious spam is being regarded as spam. Just as it should. Antispam Bee is a very fine, robust and well-maintained plugin, that eases the decision to enable commenting on WordPress websites; instead of just disabling commenting entirely. HTML output and accessibility is valid and tested ✔ Thanks to the all maintainers for Antispam Bee 🙏
