Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/gioxx/wpdiscuzguestnoncefix/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
wpDiscuz Guest Nonce Fix
Temporary workaround plugin for WordPress that disables guest nonce validation in wpDiscuz when that check causes comment submission issues for non-logged-in users.
The plugin is intentionally small and focused:
- applies the filter wpdiscuzvalidatenonceforguests and forces it to false
- shows an admin notice to remind you that the workaround is active
- supports updates from GitHub via Git Updater
