Do you not hate it. Problems first thing on a Monday and to make it worse, the first day back after the Christmas break.
I came to log into donaldold.com and when I put my username and password into the login form I got the following message, “Error Possible spam bot”
Tried a second and third time, still same result. Tried to get a new password emailed to me, still the same message.
I went onto my php admin and made a new user. Made the new user admin and tried again, still the same problem.
I thought the site was hacked. Then I thought maybe the problem is with a plugin. I used the Si Captcha Anti-Spam plugin, where anyone trying to login have to write the code that is shown, bots can not do this. I went onto my file manager and deleted the plugin, and it solved the problem.
So for some reason the Si Captcha Anti Spam plugin thought the code I was putting in was wrong and thought I was a bot.
I never had a problem with this plugin before and I thought maybe it was because it was not compatible with WordPress 3.5, but it is.
I now have to check and see if my site was hacked, hopefully there is a plugin to check that..
If the site was not hacked, I will ask on the support forum for the plugin, to see what caused the problem and let you know the reason.
I have the same problem. I think is a problem with the plugin. I have deactivated the plugin (just delete or move away the plugin folder).
I’m using now blue-captcha. Thanks for the info.
Hi Pebelino,
Thanks for telling me about the blue-captcha plugin. I will try it today. I think its very important for sites to have captcha installed, does not stop spam but helps a lot.
