Changelog

Changelog

1.15

  • Fixed bug in session speed check.

1.14

  • Added Phishing sites check.
  • added Myip.ms Blacklist IPs list check
  • moved Cache clear to the cache tab.

1.13

  • Fixed a bug in the SFS module.
  • Added the ability to clear the cache.
  • Fixed the Ajax calls in the settings. Brought it into this decade’s standards. jQUery definitely doesn’t work on many sites.

1.12

  • Beta WP broke jQuery so I added some code to make the admin options interface javascript load depending on jQuery. Turned out it is a beta issue that broke many things including JetPack.
  • Limited length of error message. Some spammers a filling in the author name or email with thousands of characters and it fills up the log quickly.
  • renamed the .javascript files back to .js. I am worried that the file type may be blocked.
  • replace jquery calls with custom code. Decided that the jQuery issues with WP are not worth it.

1.11

  • Added Red Herring form option.

1.10

  • Removed URI from logs. It took up too much room and was only interesting when debugging.
  • Added aditional check for action=register inside post in case registrations (bbpress) uses a different form.

1.09

  • Added back Stop Forum Spam check. This was failing for a while. Needs to be monitored.

  • Change order of checks to put sessions checks near the end of the list.

1.05
