Problem Solved

The new spam filter is working and says it has blocked about 150 spam comments since yesterday. This filter might ask you about Javescript settings and cookies because apparently ‘bots don’t deal with those, but I’m hoping it’s transparent to people who have genuine comments.

The key was to change nothing while I was logged in as an administrator. After a computer re-boot I made the changes to the plugin directory, then brought up the browser and logged in, and the program recognized the changes. This is one of those cases where having multiple things open on your computer is not a benefit.
