  1. Zero Spam for WordPress 6.0.0Latest

    • feat(admin): a new Zero Spam admin with its own menu, below Comments: Overview, Activity, Rules, Protection, Settings and Help, in light or dark, and usable with the keyboard and screen readers. It replaces the old screens; their links and bookmarks take you to the page that replaced them.
    • feat(overview): see at a glance that your site is protected: what was blocked, a live feed of new detections, the trend over the last weeks and anything that needs you.
    • feat(activity): search, filter and sort every detection, and open one to see who was stopped, from where and why, with Block, Allow and Delete right there. Reports show attacks by day, hour, type and country. Deleting and removing can be undone.
    • feat(rules): one place for blocked IPs and locations (for good or for a set time), allowed IPs, blocked email domains, disallowed and allowed words, and the administrator addresses Zero Spam never locks out.
    • feat(protection): protect comments, logins, registrations and each supported form plugin with a switch, see what each one caught, and check it all works with “Test my protection”. XML-RPC stays off and the WordPress version stays hidden by default, and you can now turn either back on, for example f…
    • feat(setup): new installs get a short guided setup; updated sites get a “What’s new” tour of where everything moved.
    • feat(settings): settings in clear tabs with plain-language descriptions and recommended values, import and export, the error log, and a system report to copy for support. Copy buttons also work on sites without HTTPS.
    • feat(help): every guide, the developer reference, and Zero Spam news and security notices (you can turn the news off under Settings).
    • feat(multisite): a new network page: network defaults and locks, templates, an audit log, a site comparison, network statistics, and blocking an address on every site at once.
    • feat(alerts): the API alert thresholds and the Quota Reset Date now take effect, a used-up quota now sends an alert, and quota alerts come once per period instead of every hour.
    • feat(uninstall): “Delete Data on Uninstall” now decides whether deleting the plugin removes its data. It is on, as before.
    • fix(privacy): on new installs, sharing blocked attempts with Zero Spam is now off unless you turn it on (sites that already share keep sharing; turn it off under Settings), Stop Forum Spam lookups are a choice in setup, and “Use Recommended Settings” no longer turns on either. The setup and setting…
    • fix(privacy): API Monitoring no longer keeps your license key or visitors’ addresses in its usage records, and removes them from records it already has. Sharing a report no longer counts as an API call.
    • fix(enhanced): when your plan’s lookups are used up, visitors no longer wait for a lookup that can’t succeed; a refused lookup pauses them for an hour at a time, so they start again by themselves soon after the reset, and “Test my protection” checks at once. Enhanced answers are now kept for the Ca…
    • fix(license): if your subscription lapses, Zero Spam now says so, with a link to renew, instead of “Not reachable right now”. Enhanced lookups pause so visitors don’t wait for them, every other check keeps working, and they start again by themselves once you renew.
    • fix(forms): on form plugins, real people are no longer refused because their email address happens to contain an entry of the disallowed words list (“123@” in jane123@example.com, “ugg” in hugg@example.com). Inside an email address an entry now has to match whole. Comments still use WordPress’s own…
    • fix(messages): a blocked form, comment, login or sign-up no longer says “Your IP has been flagged”, which was usually not what happened. The default now says it looks like spam and what to do; a message you wrote yourself stays.
    • fix(stopforumspam): registration protection now works (on single sites), people with common first names are no longer refused because usernames are no longer checked, and answers are kept so the service is asked far less often.
    • fix(rules): permanent blocks saved without a start date now always apply (before, including in 5.7.14, they only applied now and then). Block dates show in your site’s time zone and no longer move when you save a block without changing them; loopback addresses such as 127.0.0.1, which would block r…
    • fix(multisite): sites follow the network’s IP Allowlist unless they keep a list of their own, applying the recommended settings no longer turns network defaults into site settings, license and API keys are never shown in clear, and the built-in templates change the settings they promise.
    • removed: the Google Maps API key (detections link to Google Maps instead of embedding a map) and the Enhanced Protection offer on the WordPress dashboard.
    • dev: new REST routes, deprecated hooks and AJAX actions, and every other change are listed in the full changelog on GitHub.
    • Older releases are listed in the full changelog on GitHub.
