Blacklising Words

Hi @adventurearckids,

I hope you are doing good.

Unfortunately, Forminator does not have a built-in feature to address this requirement. I’ve reached out to our developers to check the possibility of offering a temporary solution, and we’ll provide updates here as soon as we receive feedback.

Kind Regards,
Nebu John

Hi @adventurearckids,

Hope this message finds you well.

add_filter( 'forminator_custom_form_submit_errors', 'wpmudev_moderate_form_submission', 10, 3 );
function wpmudev_moderate_form_submission( $submit_errors, $form_id, $field_data_array ) {
    if ( $form_id != 6 ) { // Please change the form ID.
        return $submit_errors;
    }

    $submitted_data = Forminator_CForm_Front_Action::$prepared_data;

    if ( ! empty( $submitted_data ) ) {
        $restricted_words = array( 'job', 'seo' ); // Please add restricted words.
        $submitted_data = implode( ',', $submitted_data );
        foreach ( $restricted_words as $key => $value ) {
            if ( stripos( $submitted_data, $value ) !== false ) {
                $submit_errors[]['submit'] = 'Form should not contain restricted words';
            }
        }
    }

    return $submit_errors;
}

Note that Form ID 6 should be changed and restricted words should be added in the array $restricted_words.

You might need to install this as a mu-plugin, kindly follow this guide:

Let us know the results.
