would you recommend deleting everything from dashboard/ plugins and server and than reinstall everything?
Casey what I did was the following : I installed the Event Calendar & Pro & Community.. When the spam came I uninstalled all the plugins from my dashboard. Two days ago I reinstalled Event Calendar & Pro & Community . What I did notice when doing so was that all my previous events were there.. Did that answer the question?
Month ago they would come from gmail address.. now some are comming from outlook.com address.. I deleted them all, but I will start posting them for you..
Disregard the previous post .. This one come recommended by Google..
WP-reCAPTCHA / Integrates reCAPTCHA anti-spam methods with WordPress including comment, registration, and email spam protection.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha/ I installed it lets see if it works.. hopefully.. very simple to install and register..some one told me to try .. http://wordpress.org/plugins/captcha/ easy simple adds a number question on the WordPress Registration / Register For This Site .. Lets see if it works..
Installed the “New User Approve” plugin only problem is that they still show up with other users in the panel. Don’t really see what it does.. or of help.. need some sort of CAPTCHA on the registration signup screen.. Today had 65 bogus signups that I had t deny and at the same time had to figure out what is liget.. I use the calendar for local events where the organizations signup. We all need CAPTCHA
Casey, I am back to Modern Tribe.. Missed the Calendar , but hated the spam.. It was a daily battle with the community events. Today I re- installed everything and again I waited and watched one by one as they came. Is there a captcha plugin that you could recommend to protect my calendar. I need to have the community be able to add events. I had anonymous turned off, yet still got 100 spams got through. I even had it where I have to approve the events first.. but some how there getting through.. Is there a way that I even have to approve new users.. This is the first day that I have installed The Event Calendar. I went over to Timely Calendar for a while and did not have the spam issues. But I missed the functions that The Event Calendar pro & Community Provided. It is an awesome asset to every WordPress site. I can not afford the time or the chance of something slipping through. Some sort of security needs to be in place for users registering and submissions . Some sort of Captcha
Yes Leah they are ..got pretty bad.. had to shut down the calendar.. I use the calendar so local business can register events..
