I installed this and registrations took a huge jump.

Although I don't think it's clearing out the cookies as I've got it set. I have the Register Block Page set to come up after 5 page views, and to be cleared out daily.

It seems I still see the block page too often. What time of day is it meant to clear out?

Thanks.

I don't see any option to clear cookies. You may be mistaking that for the option to clear the db log?

err... yes, my mistake. So does clearing the IP log enable them to start fresh the next day, if I've got it set daily? Or does this still require the users to clear the cookies in their browser?

It was my vague belief that somebody said somewhere that things are cleared in a 24 hour rolling period. But I sure don't want to volunteer to try to find that right now.

Thats correct. You can insure this is working by getting yourself blocked and then manually inning the scheduled task and clearing cookies.

Ted,

Are you aware of any crawlers that are not able to crawl because of your app?

If I have it set to 2 views, is this ok until it blocks them to register?

I also assume your app is a solution for someone who wants to go to a paid subscription system but doesn't want to make forums private because crawlers can't crawl them?

Google has generally been ok with this approach on sites provided that people can see the content at times. For example, many news sites show Google the full article and paid members. This isn't 'tricking' google as the content is really there for people, you just have to be logged in.

As I say in the main thread, I do NOT suggest setting this to 1 or 0 views.

There's a detailed description in the main post and documentation of how crawlers are impacted.

This is not a solution to block people for paid memberships as it is beatable by clearing cookies and/or changing IPs.

I set it up, did the template edits and activated the plugin (changed settings), but it didn't work. There is still no limit. Why is this? :(

Please logout, view the forums and check that the lgv cookie is properly counting up.

Hum, that's not good. To be sure, you are viewing a thread and doing so as a guest, correct?

Will you guys please post links to your forums that you're having trouble with? I mean, unless they're super-secret, why not let us take a look?

Hi Ted .. :)

Does this count CMS articles being read by unregistered users towards the "block" count?

Thanks ...

I see multiple messages appearing at the top of your pages, what should the block message say?

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:35 AM.
