Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Custom Referral Spam Blocker

Future versions are planned with improved support for appending to default versus replacing it with your own list.

This plugin blocks requests for all pages from a given domain or subdomain. Each domain should be added on a new line. For example, if you add "imaspammerandimok.com" to the list, requests with referrers such as "http://imaspammerandimok.com/spamallnight/spamallday.html" will also be blocked. Do not include the protocol (https://, http://) or path (/folder/page.html) when adding new domains. Subdomains, however, must currently be entered individually.

Their requests are intentionally blocked from continuing to load any WordPress code and get directed away from your site. If they have a puppy, it cries.
