Please , at least tell us how can we manually confirm the signatures.. in Wordpress Extend you say that it supports manual confirmation, but I dont see that anywhere in the petition management.

Hey James… I am still waiting for the you to resolve the issues I have earlier mentioned regarding the plugin. I understand if you are busy in your personal life, but please at least tell us if you are willing to fix the issues and make the changes or not. Thank you

@James Davis

Here’s a patch.. I got our developer to have a look – he said:

“This is because $sub_title which is defined in one function and used in another function is not a global variable. I simply made it a global variable, really this should be object orientated…”

Hiya James – no they aren’t confirming their sigs… wondering if it is possible to use akismet somehow to prevent them from posting..?

Upgraded to 2.3.3 today (plugin prompted me btw) – no vote count on the petition page like there used to be… should there be or has that functionality been moved to the widget?

Cheers
Paul

Try upgrading to 2.3.3, does it still happen?
As for attempted spam: I presume they aren’t successfully confirming their signatures?

You could write a similar system as a WordPress plugin, but I’m not sure how useful it would be. If you don’t trust the integrity of your WordPress files, you can’t trust the output of any plugins it runs. That’s why I didn’t write this as a plugin.

This seems a bit complex. Are there any WordPress plugins that can detect unauthorised changes to files?

I had two websites hacked last month and Google Webmaster Tools sent me an alert within hours – but I still had to work out which files might have been altered.

Hiya James,

I noticed after one of the recent upgrades that the total signatories figures is no longer displayed on the petition page. Is there a way to turn it back on?

Also – a little suggestion for the next update: Blacklist email/IP addresses.

I am getting a lot of attempted spam from mail.ru on the petition at the moment…

Thanks for spotting this. I’ve been on holiday, but managed to sneak out a new release which should fix this problem.
