WP Affiliates, typing wrong password get instantly banned

[ssiddiqi]

I am using ZBBlock [http://www.spambotsecurity.com]. If an affiliate types a wrong password by mistakes, he gets instantly banned. WordPress itself has no problem, but WP Affiliates Platform has, that is on first wrong password the affiliate will be banned.

There seems to be an empty space in the URL, which causing this problem. Below is cut-and-paste from ZBBlock log file. Please note

“Why blocked: Please remove space from end of URL (QU-207).”

Who do I fix it, i.e. remove the extra space at the end of URL?

Never mind, I fixed it myself. There is an unneccessary extra space in wp_affiliate_platform1.php at line 209 after “password.”.

$msg = urlencode("Invalid Login. Please try again with correct user name and password. ");

Change to

$msg = urlencode("Invalid Login. Please try again with correct user name and password.");

Can you please fix it in next version? So, people who are using ZBBlock to keep hackers away do not face this problem.

I will take out the space character at the end.
