Thanks for the kind words. I sold Stop Spammers, but the new developers ran it into the ground trying to make money off of it. As a result there are five or six plugins that copy the code and work much better.
I am getting too old to code. I can still do it a little, but I don’t see the point in working on a plugin that makes zero dollars. Instead, I would prefer it if people searched Amazon for “Keith P. Graham” and downloaded some of my Science Fiction books. They are generally free Kindle downloads on the 15th of the month, so mark your calendar.

I can no longer support the Astounding Spam Prevention App.
Please uninstall it.
I wrote the original Stop Spammers App and there are several good apps based on my original work. Search for a good one and install it.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] PHP 7.4I am using Version 7.4 on all of my own websites and have users who are using 7.4. It works. I ran tests using 7.2. The plugin does not use anything other than standard PHP and should work in the future on all of 7.x versions. I will update the readme file when I have time to run extensive tests.

In reply to: [No Right Click Images] Firefox right click remains enabledMost themes support opening an image in a new window by default. The problem with this is that it is outside of WordPress. There is now way to control if a person right clicks it or not.
I may have referenced opening in a new window because I have a separate plugin that enforces that for external links in order to prevent the current site being replaced by a link. Both plugins use the same basic JavaScript approach. (I am sorry for the confusion but I 70 years old and not as sharp as I used to be.)
I checked and there are literally dozens of plugins that say they are capable of preventing right clicking on images. Most of them claim that they create HTML standards compliant code so they won’t break your site. It would be interesting to see how well they work with Firefox.
In any case they might not work at all with image gallery or image library plugins.Good luck,
Keith

In reply to: [No Right Click Images] Firefox right click remains enabledFirefox, by default, does not allow JavaScript to access the properties that the plugin uses to prevent the right click menu from appearing. The plugin uses JavaScript so that it does not break pages by altering their HTML code. I tried to use a direct modification of the code and it broke more things than it fixed.
I have spent many hours trying to bypass this prohibition in Firefox without luck.
Firefox considers this a security issue because there are other things on the right click menu that they consider necessary. I disagree, but there is little I can do about it except to leave a strongly worded complaint on their developer forums that was ignored.
There are other plugins that do things like cover the image with a div or replace the image with a blank if there is a right click. Believe me, I have already tried all of them, but they often change the functionality of a web page too much. Perhaps you can try one of those.Keith
I downloaded and checked s2member and I can’t find anywhere that it is trying to load a bad URL, but it encrypts part of the plugin and then decrypts it on the fly each time it loads, so I don’t know what it might be doing. Plugins that do this are usually trying to hide something. It could also be another plugin.
You might try deleting all plugins and then reinstall WP with the previous version. Download and install fresh copies of all the plugins that you use and then restore WP to the current version. This will effectively clean out your site. This a tremendous amount of work, though.
If I had this problem I would find an alternative to s2member.Will
It found the host wcomhost.com in the form submit and rejected it because it it is in a known phishing domain.
Uncheck the “check phishing sites” option and also uncheck “check bbcodes”.What I would suggest is to go into the Astounding Spam settings page. First go to the “Log” tab and clear the log. Scroll down to “Show all reasons for rejection” and turn it on. Then cause a rejection.
The log page will then show how the plugin is working and exactly why it rejected the transaction.
Copy the log and send it to me.
Disable the plugin so no one else is rejected while we work this out.
It may be that another plugin is behaving in a way that confuses the Astounding Spam plugin. There are hundreds of form filling plugins for login, data, and other uses. It is impossible code in exceptions for all of them.

In reply to: [No Right Click Images] Download errorHi,
I just installed the plugin on three of my websites. I installed and worked fine.You should try again, of course, but if that doesn’t work I would venture to guess that it conflicts with some other plugin that you are running.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] How to Test it is workingAstounding spam is the simplified and low memory version of “Stop Spammers” plugin. Try that and see if it finds the spam. The “Stop Spammers is missing a few features from Astounding, but has a slightly different approach and may search all fields for bad email. Try it.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] How to Test it is workingContact 7 uses it’s own field names. Astounding spam is careful about interfering with other plugins and only uses the standard WordPress field names. It is good for logins and standard comments, but it can’t handle the Contact 7 field names.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] How to Test it is workingOne way to test is to log off the site. Then you can try register using an email of [email protected], and this should reject.
As far as sending an email, I am not sure what you are doing. What contact form are you using?
Email me the URL of your site and I will try to test it. If the contact form is non-standard, the software will ignore it. If the contact form is using standard field names then I can see if the software rejects it.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] How to Test it is workingIf you are logged in, it ignores you.
If you look at the log you might see spammers getting rejected. Of course this would not work on an unknown site, it would have to be a site that gets spam.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] Does this play well with Woocommerce?I have talked to people who use it with woocommerce and it works for them. Try it. It is not that invasive. If you have a problem there a a lot of options so you can turn off some until it works.

In reply to: [Astounding Spam Prevention] PHP warningsI made a change to the way the check session speed is initialized to insure that this won’t happen by mistake. It was buggy the old way. Please update the plugin.
