spam messages

New security for WordPress log-in page

We’ve noticed an increase in some websites getting spam attacks, usually the comments area on posts which is a tad annoying as we turn comments off on posts (do you?). To try and stop anonymous comment spam we’ve added a new Captcha log-in with a simple maths question. This stops [ro]bot log-in but we’ve also added comment blocking software to help protect your web pages and our servers. Not all clients have this free service yet but as we edit and update pages we will automatically add. Are you getting comment spam? Contact OHM today and we will prioritise your installation.

It was going to be a big website and we needed a solution for the back-end warehouse product (SKU) control. We located and contacted a supplier who turned out to be more than a match for the requirement. Alas we didn’t get the web page design part of the gig but here’s what the owner said about us… …I cant thank you enough for your time and advice as this system appears to be (and I believe will be) exactly...
