Hi Everyone in my WA family, I have recently come across a problem with a few people trying to leave comments on my site. Everything was going great until my last two current a

Okay family, as of today 19th September, I am still having a lot of problems. I have done what everyone has suggested and deleted or removed plugins but people are still finding a problem leaving comments. I don't understand why it has happened all of a sudden and I am now desperate. So any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Tracy

Thank you everyone, for your help and advice I now need you guys to test my comments section again to see if my changes worked. Cheers Tracy :)

You can also uninstall WP Spamshield (or any other anti-spam plugin), if you have it. I had the same issue, and it was gone after I removed Spamshield.

Thank you for the sharing. Loes had very good training.

IF YOU ARE USING CK EDITOR.......DELETE IT AND GET ANOTHER ONE ...I USE F(X)EDITOR. ALSO AS MEL SAID....IF YOU HAVE ANY SPAM SHEILDS DELETE THEM :-)) LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON :-))

Ive had a couple of people say they tried and it didnt work but then other people can. IDK either.

If you have Askimet installed, please uninstall immediately. It is no longer compatible with WA hosting as explained in Kyle's post that MKearns references below.

Thank you, I didn't know this.

I HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS MY "CK EDITOR" I TOOK IT OFF AND REPLACED IT WITH F(X)EDITOR AND ALL IS NOW FINE XOXOX

Did you update something recently such as your browser or even your wp theme?

Her issue is the Askimet plug-in, it is no longer necessary with WA Hosting and will cause all sorts of comment problems. See the message from Kyle that MKearns linked to.

You don't need Askimet any more. Kyle explains here. .

Thanks Mike, I have now deleted Askimet and I am waiting to see if people can now comment. Cheers Tracy :)

Thanks Loes, I have changed the setting, hopefully that has fixed the problem now. Cheers Tracy :)

If you have Askimet installed, uninstall it. There is site-wide spam protection now that makes it unnecessary.

But I have has Askimet since day dot and it has never caused any problems before. Why would it start now?

Because WA updated their overall Site Protection. Kyle has advised to uninstall. Until you do so, you'll continue to have problems.

I have now deleted it, thanks for your help. Cheers Tracy :)
