Hi Li-An did you carry out a test to see if it could be a plugin or theme clashing?

Made a test:
when I post a comment as user “Sam Max”, before validation of the message, “Sam Max” is replaced by “Sam+Max” in name field for the user. But validation seems to correct that and the message approved shows correctly “Sam Max”.
So, the problem is: if the user makes multiple comments, the second comment will show a prepopulated name field as “Sam+Max” and if he does not correct this, I will approve the “Sam+Max” name.
Hi have you tried testing a different theme. Try one of WordPress default theme like Twenty Thirteen or so.
Let me know how you go.

Tried on Twenty 15 – forgot to tell – with no other plugin activated. Firefox last version.
Hi the strange part here is that this does not happen to me on the website that I have this plugin installed. Are you running WordPress 4.0.1 or 4.1?
Hi, the plugin extracts the comment author name from the cookie and it decodes it so the + sign is very strange.
If you enable in the by-pass panel the “Don’t serve cached pages to comment authors” option, do the problem still exist?

If I enable the “Don’t serve cached pages to comment authors” , there is no prepopulated field and no +. In this configuration, no problem.
So it seems a problem of the javascript extracting from the cookies the comment author name. Since that code is rather standard and uses the correct javascript function to extract the name… can you help me a little more reporting to me the browser you use to make the test, if even other users had the same problem and your site address where I can test it? It would be of help a post where I can insert a comment, for example and old post or a test post dated in the past so you can then delete it.
Stefano.

I have a test blog; I will send you the URL on a email you’ve got.
I noticed the problem after a succession of commenters with + in their name. First I thought it was coincidence and then I made a test 🙂 Tested on Firefox and Maxthon (Webkit).
Ok, send it to me on [email protected]. We can continue the discussion via email which is quicker.
