I’ve uploaded a fresh copy of the current Anti-Splog 1.03, and searched these forums, but can’t find an answer to this issue …
When selecting the “Rename wp-signup.php” option under Anti-Splog Settings, I am unable to include the suggested links in a text widget we have directing visitors to signup. When I insert the shortcode into the href of link code within the widget, the result on the rendered page is http://domain.tld/%5Bust_wpsignup_url%5D … the shortcode isn’t getting converted. Same thing happens if I use the anti-splog php link, but I didn’t expect that to work in a widget.
The docs say …
See the install.txt file for more detailed documentation on this function.
But there is no such help for linking to the revolving signup page in the install file.
So … how can I add a link to the anti-splog changing signup url in a widget?
Note: We are not running BuddyPress. The PHP link worked fine when modifying our theme header file with hardcoded signup url links. But, I have not yet attempted to replace links in posts with the shortcode. I just spent the time removing all our manual anti-splog tactics including renamed signup urls, hoping to just turn on this option. Any help before we start getting slammed with splogs again is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
