How to Block or stop IP address to post comments in wordpress
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Well it’s a while now and I’m starting to get frustratet with WordPress Blog. I have some huge bots or people spamming comments in my blog. I suppose it is because I got nofollow tag removed so now I have problems with some users (IPs) posting spam comments.
I need to stop them so I decided to block some IP’s.
It as easy as that to block IP from posting comments in wordpress blog:
- Login to Administration panel of WordPress blog
- choose Settings tab
- choose Discussion tab
- in the “Comment Blacklist” list type IP’s you want to block (each line one IP)
- Click Save changes
In firefox it looks like this:
