WP-SpamFree Update - Version 1.5.7 Released

by Scott Allen

Whew, it’s been a busy couple of weeks! Since the last release, I’ve gotten some great feedback from you all, including valuable constructive criticisms that have helped me improve the plugin. I worked on fixing some bugs and improving a few more things with this release. So, here’s version 1.5.7…check it out.

New Features in Version 1.5.7

Removed WP Super Cache compatibility mode to (ironically) improve compatibility with WP Super Cache. Several WP Super Cache users had reported having trouble with the “WP Super Cache compatibility mode” feature in versions 1.5.4-1.5.6, and after dialog with several users and further testing, we found it worked better without, so I removed it in version 1.5.7.
One of the “joys” of programming - sometimes you think you’re fixing one problem and you end up creating a new one. It’s fixed now though.

Everything seems to be working fine with WP Super Cache now, but if any of you have conflicts with WP super Cache and version 1.5.7, please submit a support request so we can look into it ASAP. (See Troubleshooting for more info.) Thank you.
Improved spam protection.
