SPAM on my reply forms

    Hello Josh,

    I wonder why I still receive SPAM on the Caldera forms.

    There are not a lot of people using the form, but about 1 out of 10 is genuine. The others are nonsense reactions.
    Recaptcha is not necessary anymore in the latest versions, but how can I prevent SPAM to happen?

    thank you

    @ennovy –

    This is troubling. Do you have the honeypot enabled? Also, can you list the other plugins you have installed for me please? You can get that from the Caldera Forms support submenu under the debug info tab.

    Take care,
    Josh

    Hi Josh,

    Do you mean that I have to install honeypot?
    Or that honeypot disrupts the process?

    I have quite a lot of active plug ins (cannot find your debug info tab though)
    Here they are:

    All-in One WP Security
    Bloglovin Button
    Brute Protect
    Caldera Forms
    Enhanced Text Widget
    Feed Them Social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
    Heartbeat Control
    Hueman Addons
    Huge IT Image Gallery
    Limit Login Attempts
    Mailchimp forms by MailMunch
    MobineSharing
    Post Hit Counter
    Simple full Screen Background Image
    Simple Mail Address Encoder
    SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle
    Social Media Feather
    TablePress
    Transposh Translation Filter
    Vanilla PDF Emed
    WP Simple Booking Calendar
    WPFront Notification Bar
    WPFront Scroll Top

    Hope you can help me.
    Thank you

    I’m getting the same Josh, on various sites, all with different plugins running. I can only assume the se forms are being filled in by living, breathing entities because the honeypot is enabled on every one
