Wordpress - How to block Spam Comments?

[desibreaker]

hello there,
i have a little problem with my wordpress comment, well it seems that there is a spamming of comments that are being sent to some of my particular wordpress topics...about products, medicine and so on.

Its very disturbing as yesterday within 30 minutes more that 150 of these comments was sent to my blog!!:'(

So does anyone knows how to prevent these|?:facepalm:

use moderation mode.

 

[Mark96]

just add their site in blacklist : wp-admin/options-discussion.php

 

[bxflow]

make sure you have the option which requires you to approve comments

I recomend Anti Grow Map plugin. You can read about this here : wordpress spam filter

Use akismet plus remove the website url form. or completely disable comments like i did.

I suggest you install a plugin like NoSpamNX or Antispambee don't use Askimet whichs comes with wordpress it's not really helpful

Akismet is the solution, I also add this on the .htaccess file.

# Protect from spam comments
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*www.yoursite.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
