Spam messages despite reCAPTCHA

    Hi,
    I’m using the free version on 3 different websites and it works OK – thanks!

    However from time to time I’m getting SPAM messages that are submitted through the Form. I’m sure the spam is sent automatically (after all who would send it one by one) despite the reCAPTCHA being integrated in the Form.
    Is this kind of SPAM submission due to some bug in the Form? If yes, please fix it.
    Is it something that I can do on my own?

    Here is an example of the most recent SPAM that I received through my Form:

    Hi @mr108

    We’re sorry to hear that you’ve encountered spam issues.

    If you’re still having spam with reCAPTCHA enabled, you can consider increasing the security level of the reCAPTCHA integration on your site.

    For v2 reCAPTCHA, you can do this by going to your reCAPTCHA account. Then in the settings of your current integration, you can adjust the Security Preference slider.

    For v3 reCAPTCHA, you can adjust the settings in your WordPress admin area by going to WPForms > Settings > reCAPTCHA. In this Score Threshold field, you can increase the score to a higher number for stricter security.

    And if you’d prefer not to use reCAPTCHA, we have another anti-spam protection feature, hCaptcha. This is a good option if you’d prefer not to sign up for Google’s reCAPTCHA service. Within your forms, hCaptcha will display a checkbox asking users to prove they’re human (much like Google’s v2 Checkbox reCAPTCHA). We have a detailed guide for setting up hCaptcha.

    Alternatively, you can consider the third-party plugins such as WordPress Zero Spam or Spam protection, AntiSpam, FireWall by CleanTalk which work out of the box to protect your forms against spam.

    Hope this helps!

    It’d be good if you could include the ‘quiz’ type questions in the free version? They tend to be quite good for keeping spam messages away?

    Which is bigger 5 or 10?
    Which is smaller 1 or 4?

    Etc. These tend to work well on CF7
