Forum for users of JoomlaWatch / ExtraWatch for Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Magento, Prestashop

hello

Several times I refresh my site for the design and joomlawatch spam me and block my ip.

can i disable anti-spam??

hi,

did you find a way how to fight with anti-spam?
I have similar problem with this feature..
Sometimes block random users which are just browsing the web...

Hi guys,
there always must be a reason for blocking. Maybe those users used bad words in some posts:

If you have phpMyAdmin, please check the table jos_joomlawatch_block and there is always a reason (bad word the user used)
You can get this word also in JoomlaWatch anti-spam tab when hovering on blocked IP.

If this blocking was inappropriate, please just remove that problematic keyword from the list.

You can always disable this anti-spam for good just by unticking the checkbox above blocked IPs.

Hi Matto, (ahoj)

and there is strange point..
1. I don't use feature SPAMWORD. SPAMWORD_BANS_ENABLED checkbox is unchecked at my joomlaWatch settings. I tried it also with SPAMWORD enabled, but it was almost the same.. No Idea why.

2. At my page people are allowed to add Facebook comments, but users are getting blocked just by browsing on the web.. not by commenting..

3. there is table called ***_joomlawatch_blocked but also when some IP address is blocked, there is no Row in the table.

What I noticed..
When I log in as joomla Admin and run JoomlaWatch...
- I click at Anti-Spam and there is nobody blocked..
- then I click Live stats and it automatically block IP address of user who was last one at my web (last visitor)
- next when I click again at Anti-Spam tab, there is blocked this user..

It seems like clicking at Live-Stats is causing the problem..

I know this post is old but the same thing is happening to me and I dont know what to do anymore everytime I click on live stats, I get:

The IP: xx.xxx.xx.xxx is blocked due to attempt to access back-end without security code

Someone help me please this is driving me crazy.

Hi

I also had this issue with the Pro version (Extrawatch). I updated the plugin, re-entered the license number and it fixed the problem.
