Spam comments with comments disabled??

Hi,

I have disabled post comments and am using facebook comment plugin.. but today i received a spam comment? I don’t understand how that is possible, could somebody please elaborate?

Cheers

We found long ago an issue with WP, not theme releated, where pingbacks and XMLRPC still allowed people to ping comments to system, which is why we disable that in our functions.php

Yeah, the weird part is that i already have XML RPC off in functions using your code add_filter(‘xmlrpc_enabled’, ‘__return_false’);

Also can somebody help me add new native share buttons to what you already have.. currently it is just facebook and twitter.. i would really like to add Reddit! I’ve looked all over the place on how to do it like here: https://www.doitwithwp.com/add-sharing-buttons-to-wordpress-no-plugins-or-external-references/

but they use <?php the_permalink(); ?> which doesn’t get the URL

Any help would be great!!

Oh, here is a link to all the possible reddit share buttons https://www.reddit.com/buttons/

I think adding more options in future that you can turn on which networks would be extremely awesome!

Regards,

Glenn

Check your panel settings again too, to make sure all the discussion stuff is off, and make sure the how many days to comment is set at something like disable after 1 day, not 365 or whatever. Also check the post that had the spam comment as sometimes there is an over-ride checkbox checked as YES, allow comments, even though should not be — meaning if you have comment form on that page, make sure to uncheck in the POST where the comment was placed, if it’s attached to a specific post.

That was the issue.. i had used the checkbox which overrides the settings, thanks for figuring that out!

Any help you could give with share buttons?

Also are typekit fonts faster to load then Google fonts?
I’ve noticed majority of websites using typekit fonts like proxima-nova alot (including this forum)
