Don't know where to post this.. I'm getting practically a comment and visit from some bot thing on my wordpress website every other minute. All the IPs and adresses are different. How do I stop this? I have a limited amount of web space and I'm worried they'll take my website down in a few hours? I'd be willing to give my Cpanel and WP details to someone who knows their stuff and has good user feedback. I need some help, like now. Does anyone have any experience with something similar? I need to stop this ASAP or my website runs out of bandwidth in a few hours
It won't stop the traffic directly. You can't really stop traffic bots, but they'll drop your site off their list once they realize you've blocked their bot from working on your site. This shouldn't be sucking up that much bandwidth for a blog anyways, so you should be fine.
I don't know your mean thekingofkings Do you want to stop bots visit your blog? Login to WP Admin Settings --> Privacy --> I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors To anti spam comment? Yes, install plugin catpcha, I like "SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam" As you known, spammer post comment allways include his/her url Settings --> Discussion In "Comment Blacklist" textarea type: http:// https:// www. .com .net .org .info Code (markup):
