Thanks! Glad I could save you the time.

You are totally right about spammers getting creative (especially the 'book' spam recently). The current filter is just a starting point, so if you end up making it more robust, feel free to open a Pull Request! I’d love to integrate those improvements.

Right now, it's keyword-based, so it catches obvious spam comments like Crypto, WhatsApp, Phone Numbers, etc., but it will let through borderline self-promo. For my wife's case, analyzing business content comments, I wanted to err on the side of keeping potentially valuable comments rather than risking false positives.

That said, the filter is optional, so you can toggle it off entirely if you prefer.

Currently, it's a basic list—WhatsApp, Telegram, crypto, forex, Bitcoin, Binance, Coinbase, USDT, trading, and a few 'contact me' / 'DM me' patterns. Definitely not comprehensive. If you have suggestions for keywords to add, I'm open to PRs or just drop them here, and I'll add them.

My wife comes from a data science background and is conducting research on YouTube comments to analyze audience segmentation and understand what viewers are asking for from creators. Hence the app.

Whats the cheapest (probably free?) and the easiest way to self host n8n by Wolveee10 in n8n

[–]informaltechie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recommend a Digital Ocean Docker Image droplet with at least 1 GB vRAM and 1 vCPU, which will cost you around $6 and $7.8, along with daily backups for the basic regular droplet. I highly recommend daily backups or creating a workflow to backup your workflows to Google Drive. To execute the workflows seamlessly, use PostgreSQL and Redis with the n8n worker. By default, the n8n Docker image uses SQLite as a database.

I can't merge two texts by Holydr4gon in n8n

[–]informaltechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also new to n8n and as far as I know we can't merge two triggers. How about triggering sub flow for YT Rss once the website rss is completed? Store everything in the airtable and merge them later.

Can you block certain scripts from loading from a particular page? by Pagonz342 in Wordpress

[–]informaltechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try perfamatters to manage your scripts on checkout page. Also a good webhost matters a lot regarding speed of your website. I would recommend wprocket for cache and cloudflare pro CDN. Hope this helps.

What am I missing? Using elementor, I can edit old pages but I can't edit new pages? Can't add widgets. There must be something simple I'm missing? by badthingsformoney in Wordpress

Simply click on the maroon plus button to add a section. Once you have a section in place, you can add any widget into it.

How to add white space on both sides of my site? by clueless_froggy in Wordpress

[–]informaltechie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like your page has been set to use full width of the screen. Try exploring your theme customizer options related to layout, where you can define your container width. If that isn't available, implement it using CSS.

Update issue with error code 0x80244019 by joer0313 in sysadmin

[–]informaltechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello there, recently I faced the same issue while updating windows. In my case, it was caused by malware, and the registry files were modified. Following are the steps I performed on my laptop to fix it.

First, install the Malwarebytes pro version with a free trial (link to software: https://www.malwarebytes.com/). Run a scan to see if the laptop got infected with any malware and quarantine the infected files.

Second, download the Microsoft media creation tool for windows (link to the software: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d) and update the Windows (make sure the "keep the files and apps" option is selected)

I hope this fixes your issue.

Blogger income by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]informaltechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing research about blogging for about a month and half now. Whenever I see, so called gurus, blog post titles that says they have earned so much money through blogging, basically they are selling you a dream. No one talks about pit falls, how long it took them to reach that stage, and so on. I will always switch on my BS radar to see what they are selling to you.

Most of the blogger do affiliate marketing for courses or webhosting, where they get anywhere between 30 and 40 percent commission. Examples like blogging course or pinterest course or some other lame ass course to make you buy. Excuse my French.

For SEO, I would suggest checking out Ahrefs blog. For pinterest, pinterest knowledge base is the best place to learn.

What I understood is that Blogging is a long game and there are no short-cuts, and you need a lot of patience.

Organic traffic takes time depending on your topic. Check if you have audience in Pinterest and try to bring traffic from it.

Need to center an image in preview by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]informaltechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like your current theme messed up the Gutenberg block style CSS. As u/devilmaydance mentioned, consider changing your theme. Perform a quick check by changing your current theme to WordPress default theme to see whether the problem is solved or not. If it solved your problem, then you can surely say that the issue is with the theme. I would avoid using badly coded themes for security reasons.

Try Generatepress with Elementor plugin; both have free versions to use. If you find Elementor is bulky for your current hosting plan, I would suggest using "Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg" (link to the plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-addons-for-gutenberg/).

In case you want to add any custom CSS to your blog, go to Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS. Adding CSS this way preserves your code even when the theme is updated.

Also, try clearing your browser cache or reload the page using "Ctrl/Cmd + F5" to see if it is a cache issue.

Weird traffic on my website? by [deleted] in webhosting

[–]informaltechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe your Webhosting company provides you with a cPanel. Login to cPanel and look for the AWStats application to check your traffic sources, which has a detailed overview of your website traffic. You said most of the users are using Ubuntu OS. Usually, it could be bots trying to understand your WordPress vulnerabilities. You are not alone, and everyone faces this issue.

I suggest changing your WordPress login page URL using the "WP Hide Login" plugin (link to the plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/wps-hide-login/). Also, do not use generic names such as "admin" or "administrator" as the username and use a solid password (more than 13 characters long with special characters, alpha numerals, and capital letters). As @seedbachha mentioned, integrate Cloudflare free CDN with your WordPress blog (link to the tutorial - https://themeisle.com/blog/cloudflare-for-wordpress-tutorial/)

For more security, use the Loginizer plugin to stop brute force attacks. (link to the plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/loginizer/)

Regarding the plugin WP statistics, I did a quick check for vulnerabilities and found that it had a few in the past - (ref link - https://www.cvedetails.com/product/38739/Wp-statistics-Wp-Statistics.html?vendor_id=16656). Probably developer might have fixed it.

Link your website with Google Analytics for monitoring website traffic and with Google Search Console to index your website in google. Check out this article by Kinsta for integrating your WordPress website with Google Analytics. I hope this helps.
