Enable Sending Referrers Error

Written by in WordPress Tips 7 Comments

This morning, out of the blue, I received an Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers, for this feature to work error when trying to delete a duplicate comment. I haven’t made any recent changes to my installation of WordPress, I haven’t made any recent changes to Firefox including adding or deleting extensions, and I haven’t changed any settings in my firewall.

I checked the forums and found a solution for now.

In wp-admin/admin-functions.php I commented out the line

die(’Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers, for this feature to work.’); in the check_admin_referer() function.

I’m not sure what the implications are but I can now delete comments.

    The exact same thing happened to me on a 1.2 version of WordPress some months back. I have no idea how I resolved it now off the top of my head. Perhaps I hacked a bit of code away too?

    Another thing, you may want to fix a bug in 1.5 that doesn’t add ‘http://’ string to author URLs that require it. See my last entry.

    I recieve a Feed Parse Error with my feedreader (Firefox extension Sage) on your page since yesterday

    The feed error should be fixed now.

    This is probably something that should be looked into. Since referrers are so easily faked, I really hope they’re not being used for any kind of security authentication.

    I just turn off my (software) firewall when I want to delete something. :\
