Like the title says...

The plugin affected is WP-SpamShield. Found it quite ironic because this is the plugin that Kyle recommends (over Akismet) for keeping our sites spam free.

I have other sites on other web hosts which also use WP-SpamShield, and WP-SpamShield is working fine on them.

Am I the only one facing this problem?

(In any case I guess it doesn't really matter because I intend to move my website out of Wealthy Affiliate's hosting to my other web host in the next few weeks before my WA yearly membership expires.)

solution?
I want to add a picture to a post. something is stopping it.
My other wordpress sites work fine, but they arent built out using WA specs.....how do you troubleshoot stuff like this easily?
Im finding WP and WA a complicated mixture to unravel.

What's the error message you're getting when you try to add a picture to your post?

Thanks for sharing.

Have you taken a look at your environment? Is your WordPress updated to the latest level? It's difficult to help without more specifics about your environment.

Yes, everything is updated to the max.

then it's a conflict with an other plugin. I have this installed and activated with no problems. Check by deactivating one by one or reading about known conflicts on the web?

I haven't installed any new plugins of late so I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'll try to Google something out.

Maybe you updated one of your existing plugins? Sometimes a new version bring an incompatibility issue. Once you find out which plugin it is, let them know. They have a very good tech support :-)

I just moved my site away from WA hosting to another hosting service. WP-SpamShield isn't giving me problems anymore, hooray! Guess I'll never know what the problem was but oh well, I'm not too fussed.
