SPAM on CE4

Hi guys,

I have started getting SPAM to my contact page on www.peterblandford.com. I understand Backlight is better at handling SPAM and it's on my to do list but I haven't got time to sort it at the moment.

Is there anything I can do to more successfully block spam on CE4?

Re: SPAM on CE4

You could create a new Contact Page in WordPress and use one of the many available contact form plugins. Look for one that can incorporate Captcha.
Contact Form 7 is free and can use ReCAPTCHA

Re: SPAM on CE4

I have got that working on the top level Rod, thank you.

contact on the the top menu of http://www.peterblandford.com now links to http://www.blog.peterblandford.com/contact/

However in the individual galleries and albums the old menu is still there.

Is there a quick way of changing all of the menus is the galleries?

I'm sure it has something to do with autoindex and have gone as far as exporting a new autoindex gallery, but I can't remember what is next

Re: SPAM on CE4

If you are using phplugins to manage the navigation, then yes, it’s quick and easy. Just edit the file and change the link.

If not, and if you’re using Publisher, change the link in album and album set templates. Re export and upload.

If not using Publisher you’ll need to update the link in all galleries and auto indexes then export and upload them all again. You’ll only need to upload any index.php and mobile.php (can’t recall if CE4 was using mobile.php)

Re: SPAM on CE4

Thanks Rod, sorted now, I am using publisher but to be honest had forgotten how the templates worked. I have now created a new template for autoindex and galleries uploaded them by FTP and selected them using Lightroom.
