The built-in lists of wordpress only allow to send comments to the moderation- or to the spam-queue but not to block them completely. This is remedied with this plugin, which allows to block comments based on a definable list. Attention #1: Use wordlist with care, there is no logging of the blocked comments! Attention #2: It will also match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress” as well! ## Screenshots * [[ * This is the message shown when a comment is blocked. * [[ * This is the settings section in the discussion settings. * [[ * This shows the counter in the section “Right Now” in the dashboard. ## Installation 1. Upload the directory `wu_block_comments` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Click on the ‘Settings’-Link in the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. This will redirect you to the ‘Discussion’-section in the settings. 4. Scroll down below the comment blacklist ## FAQ How can i see what was blocked? There is no way to see that as this is not logged. Why was my comment blocked? You’ve defined a word to be blocked which was contained in your comment. Also check for parts of words which might be contained. I found a bug, can you help me?
