I found the issue here. It appears to be related to lazy loading. Specifically, we use the EWWW plugin to do that. I haven’t tried a different lazy loader, but disabling lazy loading in the plugin fixes the issue.

Ideally, we’d like to have lazy loading active. I’m really not sure why lazy loading affects this particular image but not the one on the donation completion page.

If the issue can be confirmed with other lazy loaders, we’d love to see a solution to allow us to use this plugin with lazy loading active.

Thanks again!

Yes indeed, I can tell you watch the forum closely. thanks for providing such responsive support.

@mbrsolution, I can tell you that I personally have that selected, but it hasn’t prevented the issue.

Antispam bee seems to be not keeping up with WP in terms of updates. They indicate compatibility through WP 4.6.2 only.

MBRsolution, are you the author or a contributor? It would appear that I’m not the only one who has experienced a recent spike, judging from the other posters.

Edit… I failed to refresh replies before posting again. Thank you for reaching out to the author.

Hi, thanks for a quick reply!

My host advises that there have been no server changes to account for the issue. (No changes at all actually in several weeks). I did upgrade to WP 4.7.1 about a week ago.

Issues just began yesterday evening, though we’ve been found by MANY spammers since. Some content includes test text or actual ads that I could imagine an individual could have added and solved the captcha. But over half of the emails appear to just be bot junk.

Since several commenters above reported issues in the last 24 hours, I was assuming there’s been some exploit found recently, perhaps related to 4.7.1? Not a coder personally though, so that was just my guesswork.

Thanks again for a quick reply.

We’re having similar issues, all beginning only a couple days ago. I assume it’s secondary to an update.

Like the other commentators, we have all of the security features enabled with the exception of askimet. I’d be tempted to purchase a contract there, but since it isn’t helping the other posters, I assume it won’t help us either. Went through the steps you provided in the above post.

Been using FSCF for quite a while without issue. If a patch is in the works, we’ll just stick it out and deal with 12-20 spams a day till it’s released. If not, we’ll download another plug-in (though I really like this one.) If it’s on your radar, just give us a word and we’ll continue to wait.

I know you’ve got other jobs too, for my part, I’m grateful for the work you’ve provided the WP community. ??
