Google Code To Fight Spam On Your WordPress Or BuddyPress Install

07.07.10 by Jerome in Tutorials

Spam has always been a problem for bloggers. Yesterday I found a new script by Google to help you fight spammers. The script is called Stop Spam Referer PHP Script.  It’s very light weight and extremely easy to install (it took me 2 minutes to install).
Has anyone have been using this script? Are you happy with it? Please give any feedback in the comments section.

Step 1

Download the Stop Spam Referer PHP Script and upload it to the referer folder into the root of your website.

Step 2

Copy and paste the code below into your wp-load.php and upload it live.

/** Define BAD_REFERER */
define ( 'BAD_REFERER_ACTIVE', true);
if ( is_file( @dirname(__FILE__).'/referer/bad_referer.php') ) if (is_file (@ dirname (__FILE__). '/referer/bad_referer.php'))
include_once( @dirname(__FILE__).'/referer/bad_referer.php') ; include_once (@ dirname (__FILE__). '/referer/bad_referer.php');

Here some of the features:

• Stops bad referers ( domains list )
• Stops domains by keywords
• Bandwidth safe
• Spam protect for your website
• Referers custom Black List
• Referers custom White List
• Keywords White List
• IP block custom
• Light and fast PHP script (3.8 ko)
• No reduce performances
• No database required
• Secure PHP script
• Open Source PHP Script
• You can rename folder of SSR
• No .htacess file (low machine resources)
• 1787 domain names in blacklist ( and all sub domains )
• 96 keywords in blacklist ( for thousand domain names )
