Pingbacks (spam) are getting through, but I have disallowed in settungs
-
Hi,
Spammers are able to add pingbacks to my forum even though this is disallowed (in blog settings). So they are not logged-in users who are adding spam comments to a topic, but they are externally able to “comment” on the forum itself.
My site is a dating site, so has a sub forum “Personals”
The URL takes the form …
domain/forums/forum/personals
They can add pingbacks to this “Personals” sub-forum which display below (ie. outside) the forum as, for example …
“3 Thoughts on Personals” :
Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)
Pingback: (spam link)Any help would be appreciated in solving this.
It’s not a new issue, has been on my site for several years.bbpress 2.6.9
wordpress 6.0.9
buddypress 10.6.4
