Hi.
I use my own theme (a variation on Sterile) and have comments disabled completely via CSS. This weekend I received emails, to the address that is listed in the zp-config.php, saying that some of my photos had comments, and of course the comments content was spam. How is that possible and is there any solution to stop that from happening? Thanks lot!

I think that evne if you hide it via css the html is still there for the bots to spam. You could remove the html form altogether from the theme.

Thank you. I guess I will do that. Or I realized, that I can change the email address in the config file too, I guess.

Hello,

It's totally useless to remove HTML form... Bots don't use them.
They send POST request directly! They don't need an HTML form. What you have to disable is the PHP piece of code... (addComment function)

To remove spams and allow comments, some tools exist. I wrote mine: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=1522

Akismet has good results on another galleries. Not on mine...

HTH

Thanks a lot. I will check it out!
