Still Too much spam

  • There have been complaints of too much spam with this plugin for the last couple of years. Despite following the guidelines for spam protection, I am inundated with spam.In fact, the only forms I’ve received since installing the plugin are all disgusting spam. I will be deleting this plugin.

  • Hello @camscorner,

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with SPAM entries. This is becoming an increasingly common issue across the internet, unfortunately.

    In case it helps, in WPForms Lite, we have a built-in anti-spam option which is enabled by default in the form builder > Settings > General (see screenshot here).

    We also have integration with Google’s free reCAPTCHA service. In case it helps, here’s a detailed tutorial on how to set up reCAPTCHA in WPForms.

    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.

    And if you need help with WPForms Lite, please feel welcome to post in our WPForms Lite support forum.

    Thank you.
