Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Comment Blacklist Manager
The default blacklist is maintained by Grant Hutchinson on GitHub.
Generally, the default blacklist is updated several times per month. This includes the addition of new entries and the optimizing of existing entries. Sometimes the default blacklist can undergo multiple updates per week, depending on how much spam in being sent to public WordPress sites we use to test the plugin.
Yes, you can. Use the filter cblm_sources to add different source URLs. To replace the default source completely: add_filter( 'cblm_sources', 'rkv_cblm_replace_blacklist_sources' ); function rkv_cblm_replace_blacklist_sources( $list ) { return array( 'http://example.com/blacklist-1.txt' 'http://example.com/blacklist-2.txt' ); } To add a new source to the existing sources: add_filter( 'cblm_sources', 'rkv_cblm_add_blacklist_source' ); function rkv_cblm_add_blacklist_source( $list ) { $list[] = 'http://example.com/blacklist-1.txt'; return $list; } The plugin expects the list of terms to be in plain text format with each entry on its own line. If the source is provided in a different format (eg: a JSON feed or serialized array), then the result must be run through the cblm_parse_data_result filter, which parses the source as a list of terms and the source URL.
The plugin will update the list of terms from the specified sources every 24 hours.
Yes, you can. Use the filter cblm_update_schedule to modify the time between updates. add_filter( 'cblm_update_schedule', 'rkv_cblm_custom_schedule' ); function rkv_cblm_custom_schedule( $time ) { return DAY_IN_SECONDS; } The return data should be specified using WordPress Transient Time Constants.
Yes. Individual terms can be added to the “Local Blacklist” field in the “Settings > Discussion” area of WordPress. Each term must be entered on its own line.
Yes. Individual terms can be excluded from the automatically fetched blacklist by adding them to the “Excluded Terms” field in the “Settings > Discussion” area of WordPress. Each term must be entered on its own line.
